Some thoughts about
LG33 Highbrow --
Very happy with the face-sculpt. I know it was styled after the Japanese cartoon but somehow it invokes Highbrow's "Rebirth" personality for me; better than the Hasbro version which looks too macho. Takara didn't make his head completely black, which also suits me.
And the weird Headmaster-port gives the neck a little more range of movement.
Finally an Autobot Headmaster with twin guns!!
Articulation is fine, glad that he has Scourge's boots in the back of his legs because they make it easier to pose him, what with the backpack and not having ankle tilts.
The copter blades can really get in the way, I wish LG33 had three blades on each side, that converged in robot-mode, like the cartoon/original-toy. (They retooled Vortex's blades..)
Colour scheme looks great, it was partly what sold me on the Takara version -- the attention to details, like how they actually painted the square area on his chest around the white cube -- or the blue hands, etc.
Can hold his gun with two hands.
Transformation is pretty simple, the arms are mostly unchanged. My favourite part is the cube on his chest, and how his spine pulls down for the legs to fold around (reminds me of G1 Deadend.)
Copter mode looks pretty good!
His drone is not as interesting as Tankette & Moguru.
LG33, I like him.
