    This is definitely a repost, but I had always assumed it was a fan-made poster. Now it doesn't seem like it.

    Fan-made? Yahoo!Movies and Empire got that directly from Paramount. It might be wrong (it definitely has omissions) but it's always been unquestionable official.


    But yeah, we've seen it. Here's a rule of thumb - if it's that many weeks old then TFW has probably been notified of it already.

    several threads on this topic

    oh yeah by the way, don't put the word "official" and question marks in the same line. It either is official or speculation. Putting Official???? is neither

    I meant when I saw it before this thread. It seemed fan made to me before this.

    Overload's vehicle mode is ENTIRELY unknown.
    There's absolutely no source that can confirm it as being a dump truck.

    It's not entirely unknown.

    The TFW TF2 Insider told us there are seven Constructicons. Six of them correspond to the ones we eventually saw that make up the Devastator toy, and the seventh is the "articulated dump truck". S250 confirmed the same thing.

    Both of them are trustworthy sources. They provided this information before we saw Devastator for the first time. Everything was for the most part correct - S250 said the torso was split left/right, when it seems to be front/back or maybe top/bottom instead, but they both obviously received legitimate information, if perhaps out-of-date.

    I think it's quite likely the seventh Constructicon they both informed us of is the seventh Constructicon on that list. You might disagree, but to say Overload's altmode is "ENTIRELY unknown" is a falsity. We have a pretty good hunch.
