TFsource has prototype pictures up on their Facebook page. It looks (potentially) incredible.

I'm a newb, and don't know how to post images here. Will someone either:

A) Teach me how, or
B) Post those puppies for everyone to see?

Interesting. If TFSource has them on their website, then Preorders must not be too far behind.

TO post the pics, here's what you do:
1) right click on the image and select "copy image source" (the exact phrase varies between browsers)
2) In a post on seibertron.com, trype the following:

Code: Select all: [img][/img]

3) paste the copied image source in between those img tages like thus:

Code: Select all: [img]www.imagesite.com/image/picfile.jpg[/img]

4) repeat as necessary until you've posted all the images you want.
5) Click Submit
6) Bathe in the admiration that you receive.

Sadly, they're not new images (I don't think). Here they are anyways!

So is the aircraft carrier a third part or the jet in an alt mode?

Either way I really like it, wish they would list a date and price already.

This looks really good, but so far they have only produced complete crap. Not going to pre-order anything from these guys, going to wait for reviews. Hopefully BTS get this one right.

Carrier + Tank = Plane.

That there is a fine lookin Overlord.
A perfect compliment of hybrid retro and newschool aesthetics worthy of buying. I think it's it's pretty solid.
Just hope i don't have to wait two years to see it's release. If that's the case i'll definitely not buy it........like so many others.

I suggest doing a thread search first before creating one... We already have this here:

Ouch at the price, but I was actually expecting closer to 300.

Same, but I still can't justify this at that price. I'm not a comic reader so don't have the same attachment as those that are.

Plus, every BTS release I've bought has been complete and utter ****, so not expecting much in the QC area.

Yea I'm not sure if I want this either. $250 is a good price though for it, it has 5 modes! (boat, base, jet, tank, bot)

Also I don't think this is IDW Overlord

$250 is steep. I was afraid of that. I guess this set will go the way of Genesis: wished for but not gotten.

I want this, but it is not in the budget at the moment.

I'll wait a bit to preorder, and see.

Not sure I need an Overlord that's larger than my combiners.

This is the main reason I'll wait for reviews before making my decision. At that price point and given that it's BTS, I see almost no risk of sell-out.

I want it, but I'm worried about the quality. I haven't bought anything from BTS simply because their figures have looked so poor. The sheer number of modes this things has impresses me, but it had best have some wicked special features.

"Approximately 16" tall - BIGGEST 3rd party transforming Robot in the world!"

by **CADimusPrimus** » Fri Sep 27, 2013 4:24 pm

Pre-ordered. But may cancel as i gets closer to release date. Hopefully someone gets this pre-released and does a review on it.

16" is TALL - that's about the size of the Marvel Legends Sentinel.

The only issue I foresee lies in this picture - it looks like he has the articulation of a Hasbro Voyager. I expect a little more from a 3rd Party group, especially for $250.

Genesis is the main precedent for something like this, and it was 50% more costly for a bot that was 4" shorter, so I suppose I can't complain too much about this Overlord.

Yeah, this is about half a foot too tall for me to consider on my shelf. As much as I want an Overlord with the PE Fort max coming out, I'd prefer it to be around Hexatron's size ... Maybe MMC will take a stab at the character.
