    Good Stuff!

    A lot of pics with the sword, but it'd be nice to see his gun as well, plus.. you know... COUGHTRAILERCOUGH.

    Still looking like something I'd pick up though.

    I'm a little confused by the fact the cab section appears to have panel lines indicating different sections and hinged areas, yet doesn't seem to look any different in truck and robot modes.
    I wonder if it's mistransformed and is supposed to turn into more of a backpack than we've been shown, or if there's other aspects to the figure that we haven't seen yet?

    What a beauty. Pending this thing having QC issues out the ass, I'm down.

    Cool that BW fans are finally getting some official MPs, but for me I have no interest in that stuff. I'd much rather see RiD and unicron trilogy MPs (like MT's GF starscream) than BW stuff, so I'm glad some 3P companies are progressing in that direction.

    Looks like it's still there, they just painted the gray parts black.

    OP post says November release, but it feels like it'll be pushed back into early 2017.

    That design is flawless, I'm hoping they'll give us RID Megatron/Gigatron as well. It would be cool to see him in masterpiece scale like Scourge here.

    I gotta say, this is a really smart/conservative approach for a new company to jump in. They took an already awesome Scourge design, updated, upscaled, and improved articulation/detail. The original figure it emulates was very strong itself when released, it just needed some articulation tweaks to get it up to today's standards. Likewise for their Overlord design, it very much evokes that G1 toy but tosses in some modern design queues, articulation etc. and they have something worthy of masterpiece. Sort of feels maybe a little lazy(?) but I can't fault them for building off strong core figures. It looks great.

    I'm surprised, I can't wait for this to go up. I'm guessing no news on the laser prime deco either huh?

    I gotta say, the first pics were rather meh to me. I guess I missed those "new" pics from Oct because this is back on my radar now. I'll definitely wait for reviews though.
