In-hand Image Gallery of RID Deployers Overload and Backtrack, Plus New Deployers Commercial

Posted by Hellscream9999 Jan 5, 2016 at 10:30pm CST 39,009 views
Fellow Seibertronians, fresh off of Autobase Aichi's facebook page, we have a great look at RID Deployer's Overload and Backtrack. As you will see below, Overload boasts a rather unique and interesting transformation for a tank-based Transformer. Below we've mirrored several of the highlights from the gallery:











And for an even better look check out Baltmatrix's review of him:



Next we have an accompanying commercial featuring the new Cyclone Mini-cons and Overload:



So, what do you think of the new 'Cyclone' Mini-con's? Did you like Overload's transformation - should other tank-based transformers emulate it? let us know in the comment section below.

I had high hopes for Overlord, oh well. I still like his lil buddy though. I hope they release at least one version of the round minicon as a single pack.

Hopefully he'll be in a non-deployer figure (such as how Fracture was re-done). I'd get him then.

I think they are. You could always get a Battle Pack, a cool ball bot, and a super sweet Commander Class figure to PARTY YOUR DASHBOARD! :HALUC:

His character design is so cool, I wanted to like the toy. Maybe, like Fracture, we'll get a cool Warrior.

I think you already talked me into the OP battle pack. Bludgeon is a cool minicon, but the lil round minicon I want is different than those. I want the one that looks like the ones that Micronus Prime sent after Optimus when he was training with King Kai.

So far that mold only comes in a 4 pack and with Overlord.

Fracture set the bar pretty high, so one can only hope. I like his spartan look.

Also, doesn't that minicon remind you of this:

I gotta say, I wasn't expecting the transformation to be as cool as it was, the way the tank leaves the treads on the ground is awesome; always nice to see new innovations for a standard archetype of transformers 8-)

Overload reminds me of Magnus a bit and yes i'm aware of Armada Overload is sometimes compared to Ultra Magnus.

as for the mini-cons, i'm thinking... Bakugan.

Overload and Blizzard Drift popped into stock at HTS and Entertainment Earth back at the beginning of December.

Picked up Overload, and man is he sweet. Excellent transformation, excellent gimmick, striking deco, cool battle mask, and unique articulation for a Deployer.

Honestly one of my top figures of the year in any category.

The treads are badass. I was hoping for more arm articulation. Overlord does have a very cool silhouette. I'll probably get him and deployer Drift if I find a good sale just for the minicons.

Hoping for a warrior Overlord though. Maybe some of that Fracture lightning will strike twice.

There is one added factor to him being better than the other two deployers: the minicons he propels roll. That makes a huge difference for me since it adds a beautiful element of playability where the minicon covers a much greater distance. It would be like in the Star Wars Prequels where those all droids would roll around and transform to shoot at the jedi.

I might actually get this one if the price becomes right.

Oh its already beating a dead horse at this point.

And anyway, transforming toys as a concept arent Hasbro's invention either.

I like the Beast Wars Eggs Beasts and Kissplayers Sparkbots better as they at least retained some modest Articulation - not a lot but some.

The idea would appeal to me more if they didn't semi-automatically Transform.
The giftset does show they do look a bit more appealing with some paint on them though.

I suppose they might be considered to be on a par with Prime Microns (kits) and they also had a lack of decoration and didn't do much.

But Arms Microns at least can be "useful" I play with mine almost every day - more than I do Minicons for sure.

Me too, but I think its because the alt modes of the microns can be used by themselves too. The alt modes of these minicons only serves the deployer gimick.

That's soon to change if the line gradually shifts towards the 'weaponized' one's :DANCE:

Glad to see some positive reactions about Overload. And an in hand report. What scares me away is that in that review, his firing gimmick didn't work. If that's the case, what's the point? I wish it worked in bot mode also. I could live with the hollowness, if I was guaranteed the firing mechanism worked. Who knows, if he hits a nice sale, I'm sure I'll crumple. I have an addiction and I'm aware of it. :lol:

That would've been really cool if he could launch the cyclone guys out from his back a'la a mortar cannon :michaelbay:

Ya, launcher Fracture's gimmick works in both modes. And I get such a kick out of minicon bowling with him. :lol:
I'd hoped Overload would do the same kinda thing, 'cause he is putting off such a Donny from Labowski vibe. :P
