Any non-licensed vehicle mode is fair game.
Just to add to this,also any movie verse toy that didn;t appear in the movie "might" be fair game & can be used as a botcon convention/club toy.

I hear you on that. We should be getting word on our new classics 2012 Stunticons while we're at Botcon too!
Now that I see the face up close I don't like it. It has that traditional Botcon eyes look I'm not really fond of. The tank mode however it perfect.

There is no "tron" anywhere, it's just Giga (tank), Mega (jet), merge into Overlord. I like it and I don't like it. This is as bad as making Galvatron from Evac/Blades. For once make a real toy with limited numbers. I have a feeling the door prize will be Mega "not tron" maybe?.
Wow they released pics this early which means the Botcon staff has been lurking amid speculation.

Yeah I see what you mean with the eyes. They could have gave him a little more neck coz his head just looks like he's all head and shoulders.

But the new pics ... at first I wasn't impressed with the head. Then I saw the head with the rest of the body and got less impressed, then I saw the alt mode.
Yeah ... so glad I stopped caring about BotCon figures the first year FunPub took over.

besides, didn't they say "NO" to movie-verse figures?
Mkall wrote:It's a nice figure, but IMO it's not the Overlord I was hoping for. Sadly I guess I'll have to wait for an eventual 3rd party to make a proper one.
HOWEVER! I'm surprised it hasn't been thought of yet; has anyone considered that a plane homaging Overlord's plane half might be one of the attendee-only figures?

Not really fair to blame Hasbro for this, they had nothing to do with it. Hasbro made the mold for Bludgeon which worked like a charm. This is all pretty much Fun Pub.

Overlord was a:
- baseformer
- triplechanger (quintiple if we count the separate vehicle modes as two and the united vehicle mode as another)
- double powermaster
- duocon
- bada$$
now, that mold is not even close.
