    I wonder if Metalhawk could be some movie mold like Dirge or Breakaway.

    I wanna see a separate jet figure done up to look like Mega's jet as a companion piece. Maybe call her Megaplex? As far as Gigatron is concerned, I like it. We all know there was no way they could do a totally faithful Overlord. Since the US name for Overlord ended up being Gigatron the first time around, making the figure based on Giga's tank makes all kinds of sense to me.

    Beautiful! The head sculpt is meh, but the colors match the character as well as the sculpt. Can't wait to see the next exclusive!

    this one is ok in my book. not great, not a fail, just ok. will need to see how the other ones turn out-im not particularly attatched to Overlord or Metalhawk, and SG is always kinds cool, but kinda eh. May wait for next year to be my first Botcon purchase *sigh* Will need to see if the others look cool though. But as of now, this isnt a dealbreaker nor a deal-sealer

    Quake? He would have worked just as well. They needed a leader character for their fanfic, though.

    I think a black Mini-Con drone would topped this off. Not bad though.

    I was thinking the same, maybe use Thunderwing mold as a side companion. That would be kick ass.

    it was released in the movie line, despite not being a real movieverse toy. and they only can't use ones with real world alt modes.

    Ugh. I'm sorry, but this is the mold I ruled out because there's so many design cues that don't fit for Overlord.
