The Energon Pub

I checked the galleries on this site and they only show Overload combined with Prime and his trailer, but not Jetfire. Does Overload require Optimus's trailer to support him on his shoulders?

You sure can. I've got the three of them combined on my shelf right now. In fact it works better because Jetfire's legs don't buckle like the trailer legs do.

OK, thank you. So no back support from the trailer needed? Because Prime combined with Jetfire looks much different from behind than the trailer.

...not that I was checking them out...

What?

No the trailer doesn't add any back support to Overload. I found a pic of them all combined if you want to see what it looks like. http://www.flickr.com/photos/zodarzone/2257618167/

Cool. Thanks. Now I'll just have to wait until next payday to get an Overload. Rock on!

super-duper Pants and Shoulderpads Prime is one of Armada's coolest toys. I've got the Picasso version (Powerlinx Prime and Jetfire, and Energon Ultra Magnus and it's a big old chunk of Blue Decepticon Death) and it's great.

Poor Mega/Galvatron. He's got his Tidal Wave gloves, but no stilts.

I've got him combined like that and he's got enough dakka. Very stable and looks awesome.

I didn't think it seemed that stable when I combined Armada Prime with Jetfire and Energon Ultra Magnus, but it was the Jetfire portion that seemed less than stable, not the UM/Overload. Granted, Prime + UM/OL is a lot of weight for JF to be carrying.

The support is there but it depnds on how new your Armada/Micron Legend Jetfire is. The photo I took was from a used Armada Jetfire. I recently aquired a Micron Legend Jetfire that was used but 100% complete. Though I haven't took pictures he was a lot sturdier combined with ML Jetfire.

The main thing to remember is connecting Overload just right to Prime. The insides of the cab fists that point up when Prime is transformed in Super Mode lock into place where the tabs are on Overload when in combined cannon mode. This is probably the studier part of the combination. Even combined with the "trailer pants" he may topple over. When this happens, the Cab in super mode and Overload cannon mode stay together no matter what.

What sucks about Jetfire as pants is he turns real skinny. To make it truly work you have to understand how to place the wings and feet. With the combined Overload cannon you have to keep them close together, or yay wide apart in the picture I took. It can be done, and heck it's supposed to be done.
