Overlord Powermaster question

I just won an Overlord (FINALLY!!), but he's missing on of his Powermasters, Mega. I was thinking about possibly trying to customize one rather than buy an original.

My question is, does anyone know what other Powermaster engine most closely resembles Mega's mold?

Each are unique.

Yeah... to be honest, only Giga is somewhat comparable, due to sharing the same arm and leg molds, but that's not really going to help you much.

Alright, thanks. I noticed from pics that Mega seems to be female shaped, probably due to the toon. It probably will be a hard match.

I took advantage over this topic in hopes someone will see this. Thanks for the post Cougartracks and awesome looking sig BTW. Fortune smiled on me almost a year later after getting my opened, near mint, (box condition) complete, stickers unapplied, Japanese Overlord and everything from the box to the figure itself just blew me away.

After that I wanted another one and was always looking for a loose one at least. Then Super Bowl Sunday morning I saw a U.K. one, used, mib, complete and box condition I rate from 1-10 is a 8 was on ebay. One thing on my mind was does anyone know which one is sought after most, the Japanese or the U.K. version? Which would you prefer if you could choose? Lastly did they both come out at the same time or did the Japanese one come out first? :VEHI:

As I know, the japanese was the first, and the european Overlord came second - nevertheless, in my opinion, the european ones' box looks much better, but the figures should be identical (too bad the other european figures lacked parts - like the combiner parts for Grippers group or even members by the Rescue Force)

I believe there is a slight color difference in the violet / purple / pink parts between the Japanese and the European versions of Overlord.

Alright, alright, alright!!! So as I stated before I got my hands on a U.K. Overlord and I noticed on the box and the figure stamp says "Takara 1988 Thailand" and the actual Japanese release says made in Japan. So does all this seem legit? Regardless I'm still stoked on the condition both the box and Overlord but I just thought I would get everyone's word on this, thanks! :VEHI:

One is on the under-belly of the tank and the other you can find in the space for his head when in jet mode. :VEHI:
