Overlord

This is one of my favorite Transformers, this is the Decepticon Overlord, mint in box! It would be awesome if I could actually get my hands one. This is the European release of this once Japanese exclusive figure. He was released in Japan as part of Transformers: Super-God Masterforce as a God-Master (Power Masters in the U.S./ the use of god in Japanese is a term for power). Overlord transformed from a powerful battle station into a jet and a tank. He also came with two partners (Giga and Mega) who could transform into engines to unlock the toy's ability to transform. One combined with the tank to split into two parts and the other combined with jet to unlock the thrusters to form the arms of the torso. You then combined the vehicles to form Overlord! Also, if you plugged the two engines into the Overlord mode, you could unlock extra guns built into the robot. It is a real shame that this figure never saw a release of any kind in the U.S. He truly was one of the best Decepticons ever made for Generation One. I will probably do a full spotlight on him at a later date.
