    Still feels like a dream to see an Overload with elbow and knee joints

    Definitely want this to get retooled into Sentinel Maximus

    I will love this! But I really want a version of this as sentinel Maximus more than this one, I think that would be a instant buy from me

    I wonder how Rollout’s design will work? As a gun he’ll need the slider handle to be held by Optimus, but as a cab he’ll need some alternative, presumably.

    Also wouldn’t that mean that he wouldn’t be able to tow Optimus’ trailer?

    He might come with an adapter or he'll have the same pegs just narrower and that's how he'll tow around his own trailer. I'm more curious about how the two trailers will connect to each other

    There’s also the question of how Optimus will tow Overload without his trailer. Will be interesting to see how they implement all these features.

    Always found Overload's vehicle mode amusing

    How long does it usually take for Fans Hobby to go from first prototype to release? Wondering if this will be out late next year or is this going to be a 2025 release.

    Unless there's a delay.

    I guess I should have been more clear, are Fans Hobby good at getting their figures out at their initial release window or do they have a reputation of delays?

    50/50 chance of it being delayed or not but even then only by around 1-3 months at most.

    Fingers crossed he's big enough to hold Jetfire in vehicle mode, otherwise looking good!

    Rollout's pretty big for a minicon. Wonder if he'll still have the gun mode for combined mode

    Would definitely be nice but understandable if they skip that mode so he can be articulated on his own.

    I'd be pretty suprised if Rollout came without his gun mode, feels like it's part of the charm of the little guy.

    My only worry is that because he's so big, it may not play kindly to the joints. Leader-1 is like a third the size so his pistol mode is less of a concern.
