Overlord transformers3/5/2023 The tank can roll around on four small wheels on the bottom of the treads. There is a purple section along the back of the tank that later form's Overlord's feet. The main body is blue, the turret off-white with an orange canopy, and the treads dark gray. Not like it's needed, since the larger jet has it's own landing gear wheels.Īt a little over eight inches long, four inches wide, and three and a half inches tall, Overlord's tank mode is second only to Generation 2 Megatron / Beast Wars II Megastorm in size. You can now make use of the small, front landing gear as it won't come close to reaching the ground when attached to the lager portion of the jet. Now for the boring part, the measurements: a little over seven inches long and a four inches wingspan. This jet is still mostly black with an off-white belly. Again, more on that later.Īs part of the robot mode transformation, the front portion of the jet, where the cockpit resides, detaches to form a smaller jet. There's a second cockpit underneath, but that comes into play in the base mode. It's not the most natural looking pose, but it adds a little play value to the toy. The cockpit opens so you can place one of the Powermaster engines in their robot mode inside as the pilot. The engines will unlock part of his transform as well, but there will be more on that later. In the center of the jet, between the engines is where you can attach either the gun pod, missile pod, or either of Overlord's Powermaster engines. There are a lot of nice details throughout the all the parts of the jet. The main body and wings are black, the tail fins and cones are purple, the engines are white, and the cockpit is a clear orange. It's wingspan is a little lacking for the size since it's only nine inches. This is one of the largest Transformers jets ever at almost thirteen inches in length. The main portion of Overlord is his jet from. Either way, Overlord is finally mine and now I will stop rambling and commence with the review. Perhaps it's because my Overlord is second hand, or possibly even third hand and came without a box, though it is complete so far as accessories and paperwork are concerned. I really do enjoy the mold and the transformation and the overall look. That's not to say I dislike Overlord, quite the contrary in fact. ![]() ![]() I've come to expect more from Transformers toys in the 21st Century than I did during the hay days of G1. It seems that in the years I pined for Overlord, my appreciation of the Transformers from that era would wane. It wouldn't be until near the end of 2004 that I would find and be able to afford Overlord and it was under the condition that it be my Christmas present that holiday season. Other times, I would have the money but couldn't find a complete one for sale. I would find him, but he would be out of my economic reach. ![]() That was back in 1998 for anyone keeping score. Surprisingly, Star Convoy was the first of the two I bought. No matter what, I would someday own both Star Convoy and Overlord. When I returned to collecting Transformers back in 1996-1997 and discovered the online fandom, I set myself two goals for my collection. ![]() FUNCTION: SELF CONTAINED NOMADIC ASSAULT MACHINE
