    Here is a pic from TFormer's gallery. All they showed was this teaser slide on the Powerpoint presentation. It was animated with the silhouettes sliding into each other followed by a "2017" date popping up on top. The Hasbro people then said something along the lines of "we don't want to LORD things OVER you guys." Then they showed the animation a second time just in case anyone missed it.

    If I had to guess I would probably think Leader class, but I would also prefer it to be something along the lines of the old supreme class (i.e. between a leader and a titan class.) While I'm throwing out wishful thinking, I'm hoping it comes with two Titanmasters (i.e. a Giga and a Mega) with one having the original head and the other a more IDW styled head.

    The only class larger than Leader right now is Titan, which is way way way too big for any version of the character that's ever existed. So I'm hoping and expecting Leader (although I'd prefer a larger Leader like we used to get, not a CW Magnus sized Leader).

    Anyway, no way are they planning two Titans for 2017.

    G1 Overlord was about the same size as God Ginrai in the cartoons. Not sure what other G1 fiction Overlord ever appeared in. I don't remember him showing up in the comics. Maybe a UK story? But as small as the comics had Fort Max and Scorponok being, I can't see them having Overlord larger.

    And IDW Overlord clearly isn't Titan-sized, before anyone brings him up.

    Nope, Overlord was never in the UK comics. His only appearances are in IDW and in Masterforce. I'm happy with a large Leader class, that would be a suitably huge version of the guy. My preference is on having my characters within the same relative robot mode size - I'd have a hard time doing a showdown between my IDW Autobots and Overlord if Overlord is hugely oversized.

    a thousand times yes. Please take heed Hasbro!

    I'd also take a Pyro from Hotspot and, at a push, an Ironfist from Swindle.

    Leader is the perfect size for Overlord: comparable in size to the Leader Powermaster Optimus that we're getting and also scaling appropriately with the Wreckers/Lost Light crew.

    Except when Apex Armor/Godbomber is affixed onto Powermaster Optimus Prime.

    I'll expect to see him taller with that.

    TR PMOP = CW Magnus = 9 inch

    If TR Overlord will be 10 inch, that'll be great.

    Let's wait to see what that looks like and if it even actually happens.

    Anyway, if they made Overlord a circa 2009-sized Leader, everything would work out, even if a Godbomber add-on increases PMOP's height. Magnus is a pretty small figure next to Leader figures of old. Absolutely tiny.

    My money is definitely on leader class for overlord, he's big and bad but he's no where close to being a titan.

    In any case, if Overlord is scheduled for release in 2017, we already know what the one Titan release that year will be: Trypticon. So Titan class is off the table, regardless (thankfully).

    Yeah, current leaders = old Ultras (slightly bigger... But MUCH lighter)

    I know I'm in the minority, but I really want a Voyager Overlord. They aimed big with the Constructicons last year and you can tell they suffered a little due to stretching out the plastic budget. A Voyager toy would allow for a much more solid figure.

    Of course, TR Leaders are the ones with base modes, so I think it's a foregone conclusion. I might actually look and see what Takara does with the paint this one. If Hasbro's has an IDW face and Takara's doesn't than It's an automatic no sale, bit if the yen isn't too strong he might be for me.

    It's already looking like I have my primary Transformers purchase for 2017 in the books then.
