Product Codes for Walmart Exclusive Voyager Override and Hauler

Posted by william-james88 Mar 16, 2022 at 8:28pm CDT 86,771 views
Thanks to JTPrime17 we have product codes for two toys we already had rumours of: Hauler and Override. Both are voyagers and both are part of the Walmart exclusive Velocitron line made up of redecos. Hauler will of course be a redeco of Grappel, we even saw him already in the recent Wreckers comic. Override is said to be a redeco of SS voyager Hot Rod, but that is just a rumour. Then again, which other voyager mold would work for Override?

Here are the product numbers.

Tra Gen Legacy Velocitron Voyager Override X2
Product Number: F5763
Tra Gen Legacy Velocitron Voyager Road Hauler X1
Product Number: F5762

Someone will no doubt correct me if I’m wrong, but I think the only other Voyager figure with a car mode they could use for her is Springer.

I would not be opposed to a triple changing Override though.

I'll keep an eye out for Hauler. I plan to get every editions of the newest Grapple/Inferno molds and I will NOT miss this one.

Let's hope those will be easier to hunt than the vintage BW and G1 reissues.

The 7th Constructicon (Constructibot?) finally returns!

Feels like it's been a Decade since (Road) Hauler got a Toy!

The post you quoted mentions which mold Override is said to be retooled from.

I know. I’m specifically answering William’s question:

To my mind, SS86 Blurr is the most obvious choice.

Remold the front of the car, remold the head and paint apps do everything else.

She even has that "top of the head poking out in the middle of the car" thing Blurr has too.

Except Blurr is a deluxe, and Override is pretty much confirmed to be a Voyager. If it were Blurr, they’d need to add a ton of accessories to bump her / Blurr up to a voyager class figure.

Not an impossibility, mind you. And it would be infinitely preferable to them using Hot Rod.

Using SS86 Hot Rod to make Cybertron Override would be unforgivable stupidity. And if we see they were indeed that stupid whe, we should all write in to tell them what a ridiculous mistake it is and that they should either backpedal and do Hot Shot - who that mold actually could pull off, making the idea of trying to force it to be Override even dumber - instead... or just scrap the line and make Hauler a Selects figure.

You understand that has zero chance of working right? There is no way Hasbro would scrap a line just based on a fan letter writing campaign. A decrease in sales is the only real way to get their attention. And even then, it took 2 years of the titans going to liquidation before they scaled back the production runs.

Here's an drawing posted by a fan showing how it might work from the Hot Rod mold, just to give an idea.

Very cool indeed! I always felt Hauler was the only Constructicon that went rogue after creation then shortly replaced by Hook to complete the team...'nuff said! :VEHI:

Ah, I forgot about Hot Rod's false chest. Using it like that would certainly help a lot.

That said, I'm not sure the transformation scheme would allow the two bits at the front to stick out further than the centre like that. They need to fold under the bonnet, which then also needs to fold up and fit beneath the windscreen. Without retooling some of those joints, I don't think it would have the clearance needed.

That seems like it would require an awful lot of retooling to work, more so than most exclusives get. Sure, Netflix Soundwave got a lot of retooling, but can you really compare the popularity of Soundwave (a mold that was already used twice prior) and Override? Then there's Fangry, but again they used that mold so many times they probably already had all the parts tooled just waiting to be used. Can't imagine they planned to reuse Hot Rod as Override from the start.

If she is indeed being made from Hot Rod, that's a Deluxe sized figure anyway. They could scrap the accessories and use that budget for a heavier retool, and possibly make her a small actual Voyager, rather than a glorified Deluxe.

True, but it was still sold at Voyager Price point.

Blurr was not.

Blurr would need some add ons for him to be bumped up to Voyager. Hot Rod is already at that price point regardless of his actual size.

Also Blurr has no actual wheels. Which would require a bigger retool for Override in that respect. Though yes I will admit the general shape of Blurr would work for Override if they did go that route.

All this talk of Blurr as Override is reminding me of this:

And people would bitch and whine so hard about Blurr being sold at the voyager price point since he was a deluxe before, no mater what kind of add ons he gets.


By the way I don't think Blurr's car mode works at all for Override. Blurr is all about straight angles with a long nose/front, Override has more curves to him/her.

Since we’re getting Megalo Convoy (Metroplex) and Nitro Convoy (Override), I wouldn’t be surprised if we got the other Galaxy Force planet leaders too. Maybe Flame Convoy (Scourge) could be a retool of Transmetal 2 Megatron, but how could Hasbro and Takara do Life Convoy (Evac)?
