Now, if this really is the case for the Gigatron-named Overlord toys, despite Hasbro having the "Overlord" Trademark for the G.I. Joe character, it really begs the question for why the name could be Trademarked for the G.I. Joe brand but not for the Transformers brand. Like, is there some other company using the "Overlord" name for a toy robot character of their own?
According to the Wiki's Trademark article, Hasbro eventually gave up trying to register a Trademark for the name "Bumblebee" and, in 2006, went with using the name as "a 'normal', non-registered trademark instead." I don't know if this is still the case to this day, though.Ultra Markus wrote:Sabrblade wrote:All I know is that back when I first asked around the fandom about why BotCon 2012 Gigatron didn't use the "Overlord" name, everyone who seemed to know what they were talking about said it was because they couldn't Trademark the "Overlord" name, and cited the Heroes of Cybertron Gigatron toy as being the same case.

The tank was called the Gigatank and the jet was called the Megajet. Neither vehicle was alive either. The tank's Godmaster operator was a man called Giga, and the jet's Godmaster was Giga's wife Mega. Mega and Giga were the heart and soul of Overlord, with Giga speaking through the combined robot form as Overlord's main personality.

I think you meant "yet to get." The way it's worded here and in the news posting, it sounds more like Sixshot is the ONLY wave 3 Titans Return figure that has been reviewed on YouTube, which is, of course, the opposite case.
