Strangely, he does not have a faction symbol in either mode, something of a rarity among modern Transformers. His robot-to-vehicle instructions completely forget the 'fold cockpit back into place' step (which would go between steps 14 and 15), but fortunately it's pretty obvious. With the cockpit shell halves splitting open and forming the wings, at the same time revealing the thruster attached underneath the 'main' cockpit body, which is then flipped down, the cockpit kibble on his back actually turns into a jet-pack. This allows one to see Highbrow's eyes when the mask is down, as lowering the mask reveals much more of the clear plastic on the back of his head, allowing the light-piping to shine through more. In robot mode, he features a flip-down battle mask, is armed with two non-firing gatling guns which can mount on his hip guards/small front wings via 5 mm post, and the propellers on his forearms can be swung down to function as 'spinning blade weapons.' Highbrow's battle mask resembles the goggles and headgear of a WWII American fighter pilot, and the lenses of the goggles are made of a clear plastic. Hunt for the Decepticons Highbrow transforms into a World War II-style fighter reminiscent of the Lockheed P-38 Lightning, and features propellers which are geared to spin if you press the engines down.
