More images make me want him so much more and so much faster. So cool!

Not sure if everyone has seen this configuration or not, but here is a more accurate way to have the scrapmetal hand. I do not know how strong it is since I don't have scrapper or overload yet. I just wanted to share what I plan to do with mine.

Every image has made it seem like he is smiling, I kinda really like it, he's smiling at being an ugly 4 armed monster that will destroy you!

Weirdly enough, every time I see a picture of Overload, I can't help but picture him as a bartender or chef before the war because of the arms and that smile :lol:

That actually sounds like a legitimate good idea for a Pre-War Constructicon origin, reminds me of the Animated versions to an extent.

If their good at building stuff I could imagine them being good at preparing "fuel" and what not since ya know...machines and such.

Maybe it’s the smile, maybe it’s the multiple arms, or maybe it’s the spider eyes, but I can totally picture Overload doing the spider click thing like admiral Trench in the Clone Wars

Funny enough SS Thundercracker reminds me of Trench a lot.

These have been some great pictures. Thank you very much for taking all of them. :BOWDOWN:

On the one hand I'm really excited to get Overload. On the other your pics have made me really impatient for him.

Needs his wrecking balls though.

I was thinking, to have an actual good scaled Devastator, should have it been enough to size up all the classes?
Like, all the deluxes turned into voyager class, the voyagers into leader class and the leaders into commander.

Is it pretty sturdy?

I would say so yes, I can push it and it wont topple over, and it feels incredible solid and secure in its connections.

That might have worked better for them but I don't think two commander class figures would have helped sales

kind of hard to imagine a person driving cogman or most other studio series figures would have to squish into a meat cube to drive most of the ss constructions as is. Devy probably looks great next to old legion/legends.

They could have been made exclusives, I'm sure those of you who actually wanted to collect all of the Constructicons to make Devy wouldn't have minded. But you might have minded the price increase on all the figures, though...

Exclusives should be kept to a minimum, they can be a real nightmare for international collectors.

I'm surprised there wasn't a comparison shot for the Titan glass G1 style devastator.

Anyone who has Overload and can complete the combiner can tell me one thing?
One of the major complaints was that the grinder doesn't tab on Mixmaster's barrel, and it's supported only by the smokestacks.
I noticed, thought, a couple of guides in the Mixmaster's black section near the shoulders, right below the barrel, and a couple of tabs in the side parts of it.
Is thre any chance that the grinder could be locked in those tabs and guides?
