    Then I got some bad news for you, because IDW Overlord was a towering giant, almost twice Impactors height in the comics. And this toy is towering.

    Also keep in mind I don't give two fucks about scale and size. I just want a big ass MMC Overlord. He's getting displayed with MMC's Felisabre, next to MP-01 and G1 Hi-Q. No shits about size need be given in that line up.

    In lsotw the perspective and page layouts always made overlord seem bigger. Never get a good square look at him really


    That's good storytelling by roche. Making overlord like jaws

    I feel like Japanese G1 isn't as sacred to most of us as seasons 1-3. I'm all for him being as comic inspired as possible, I love the evil smirk, but I am excited for the possibility of power masters being included too.

    Japanese G1 doesn't exist for me, least ways in my continuity because I'm not Japanese, never dealt with the source material. I won't let that stop from buying cool toys based off that continuity though, it just means I have to invent my own explanations for those characters.

    This is an idw Overlord. The one eyed alternate head piece is a reference from the idw comics where impactor plants his drill arm into overlord's pathetic head. Seriously, if you've been to a con and seen it irl, its not really towering. Big yes, not combiner big. Definately somewhere around the size of a leader class or so.

    ???! There's a picture on the first page of this thread of the toy next to MP Starsaber and Magnus who are both Combiner sized and he even seems slightly taller ! In fact i wager to guess he is about the size of his G1 toy.

    Uh dood he stands eye to eye with the likes of Maketoys Quantron and FasProject M3 - both combiner sets. This figure is massive, as tall as MP Starsaber.

    Some people are annoyed by that, thinking its too big for classics and I can kinda understand that if they want super accurate idw scaling I guess but ehhhh I don't really care myself because I think it'll still work fine alongside other figures. Theirs quite a number of positives that come from a figure being this large, for one thing it means he gets to have big chunky ratchets and incredibly articulated hands.

    Any word on if PSX is going to have any exclusive parts with this guy? Seems like they are getting more and more from MMC.

    Nope. And not till he gets listed I would think.

    And eh they're pretty random with that stuff and it seems to always be just chromed out versions of existing accessories that don't really add much to the figure. Imo in most cases they kinda just clash with the look of the figure. Like I don't even understand what the point of the extra bomb with felisaber was, you can't even store it in his chest so its just annoying to have.
