What part?And let Hasbro know, they will send you another figure (eventually).

Sawback is an homage to a Japanese only Headmaster figure, that transformed from a Lion to a head. This is really cool and the end result is a fantastic look Titan Master. Shield mode is a little odd, but Lion and hover mode is great.

That sounds like a great idea.

I agree, but the names will pose a problem. "Overlord" has been used for Europe and Japan, but the US uses "Powermaster Gigatron" (HoC PVC Figurine) or just "Gigatron" (BotCon 2012) instead, suggesting "Overlord" can't be acquired as a trademark.

TWINFERNO

Easy but stupid sounding fix: One Titanmaster is named "Over", and the other is named "Lord".

Though it doesn't matter to me what they call him. I'll call him Overlord like how I call Fellbat, Dezaras, and Ironbison by their respective names. It's my figures, I can call them what I want. Except for Twinferno. When I get him (hopefully), he's keeping his name because it is awesome. Sorry, typo there. I meant to say: TWINFERNO

Too short and generic Though if Hasbro did manage to get "Overlord" trademark, we can get "Gigatron" and "Megabolt" for the Titan Masters.

You know, I think that's the reason why the female Mega was the template and not the male Giga. "Megabolt & Powermaster Gigatron", how would that sound?

I would imagine that those who have tried and failed to Trademark the name "Overlord" in the past, having had to use the "Gigatron" name instead (Fun Pub, for instance, with their Botcon 2012 Gigatron and 2014 Kreon Gigatron figures), would have likely already tried and failed to Trademark the name "Decepticon Overlord".

Gimme a toy and I'll call em whatever I want.

Call him "Mister Huggykins"!

Past experience has taught us to be prepared for cases where the final toy's name doesn't match the original computer listing's name.

And further past experience has shown "Overlord" to be a name that has yet to be Trademarkable in the U.S. for toys of that character.
