Thanks to regular early reviewer TonTon Reviews, we have a fun preview video of sorts. It features the elusive Constructicon Overload, set to be released in the Leader Class Assortment later this year. The video is only barely longer than a minute, but shows Overload transforming from truck mode into his robot mode, with the promise of a full length video to come.

So now that we've gotten a taste of the final Devastator component to be released, are you looking forward to this figure? Let us know what you think!

What do people reckon are the odds that more of the Constructicon molds will be recolored like Rampage/Skipjack?

I managed to purchase or preorder Scrapmetal, Hightower, Scrapper, Skipjack, and Overload at heavy discounts, but I missed Long Haul, Mixmaster, and Scavenger, and am now looking at huge after market mark ups on them. I will end up selling the Constructicons I have if the alternative is spending close to $200 for the three I missed.

I'd say it's a pretty good certainty that Scavenger will be recolored into Demolishor (the big one at the beginning who messes up Shanghai), because they are the exact same body type, just different colors. Demolishor's Voyager toy in ROTF is even colored like Scavenger. Same thing with Long Haul- he had a recolored Voyager in the HFTD line called Payload, who was yellow. The only one who's not a safe bet is Mixmaster, because there's never been a redeco of his mold that wasn't him.

The only other thing I can think is if they do a G1 colors Devastator, then there may be a different version of Mixmaster and others.

If you wait, you will be able to get mixmaster and scavenger. They are brand new releases so everyone is wanting them now. They are both also going to be repacked in later waves making them easier to come by. As for long haul, I can hope he will be repacked in the Skipjack wave, but I think you may have to bite the bullet and pay the ~$50 that amazon is asking. Hope this helps.

Yeah, that's definitely good news. I'm getting some stuff up on ebay to maybe cover Long Haul, but his price just keeps climbing.
