    I don't mean to take the discussion away from Override but I'm unsure why Getaway has to be a remold from Rodimus. Were their designs really that similar?

    In vehicle mode yes, I see the similarity, but robot mode not so much.

    The answer is something more along the lines of "Getaway won't sell enough units to warrant getting a mold of his own."

    I believe they teased Energon Ironhide in the comics as well(repaint/retool of Roadbuster).

    "And even if he did, MMC would rather milk the moulds they've already got." ;)

    @LazyAza is it too late for you to suggest that they make the wheels translucent red?

    Are those wheels still in a grey model phase? Because I really want the translucent red wheels.

    I'm glad others agree about the wheels...

    I saw Galaxy Force first, and yes, I agree... I can't stomach watching Cybertron after watching GF... (I LOVE the "Ignition!" theme song!)

    I want to like this...I really do....but the version I like is the female one. I hope MMC includes an alternate head or face at least with feminine features to appease both fans.

    Override looks sooo good but masculine face only is a no buy for me

    I doubt it since the rest of the figure is painted, but we can always hope!

    We know MMC has translucent red plastic. Just look at these rotors!

    can I be honest, I don't know what is the issue of Override with a masculine face, she had one in the original, the show, and only in IDW is she more feminine

    personally i dont get it either, sure i prefer the female override to the male nitro convoy, however the head on this figure looks like the head from the show. neither override nor nitro convoy looked particularly feminine

    I realize that. And I also realize the american dub had her gender swapped so the animation is the same. I prefer the female version and id prefer updates to the character reflected she be female.

    An alternate head or swappable face isn't much to ask for and pays tribute to both sides of the fanbase.

    They've updated faces of the beast wars cast on later toys why should this be different?

    But it doesn't mean an update shouldn't reflect the american gender swap. No reason an update can't be more feminine
