I had an idea for Overlord a while back, not as a Tidal Wave remold but an Omega Supreme remold follow me here
Over Lord is a Tank that forms the core body and legs, with a jet that forms the arms and head yes?

Omega Supreme is a tank that forms the torso and upper legs, a rocket for arms, and launch gantry that shatters into a gajillion pieces to make legs and backpack.

my idea: Overlord as a Leader class figure, Omega as a titan class, sharing the core Tank.

 

Omega Supreme/Overlord is probably the better idea.

Aside from sharing a tank, they both have base modes with a tower and ramps/tracks.

It would still require some creative compromises, but I'd be interested to see how that'd turn out. I'm not really interested in an Overlord that doesn't have some sort of duocon-style transformation scheme.

Here's a thought: in the Omega retool, the jet takes a few design cues from the Ark(like Omega from TFA), While the Overlord version is closer to an SR71.

 

ugh.. zombie thread

too many of these lately

 

The Official pictures always look funny,am or wrong. It looks like they are just drawings, but they are not

 

Still waiting for someone to have this in hand

 

where did this leader class overlord talk come from

 

I just want to see something more of this mold; in hand, official, solicits, something!

 

We need more pics! And pre-orders.

 

Was just thinking about these this AM.

I'm curious at this point, are these still getting a main-line release? Will they end up being exclusives to somewhere? Will they be released in Combiner Wars packaging? If shunted there, will they come out before or after Thundercracker ~ it seems very un-Hasbro-like to release 3 Cons and No 'bots in a size class in such rapid succession...

Just seems odd that we're at the last weeks of the year and Combiner Wars are hitting the shelves and we've heard nothing preorder wise or seen any in-hand samples.

 

maybe he was cancelled

 

I expect they're still coming. People are just more interested in Combiners, so are stealing them, or Hasbro is handing them out, or however people are getting them. We have seen a lot of the Deluxe and Voyagers, but unless we see enough to combine them, the combined modes can't be shown off, which is their main selling points.

If they are canceled, I will be disappointed. It'll be terrible to be one step further away from a complete MTMTE collection.

 

The Combiner Wars have been officially released in Asia and the UK with Europe soon to follow - no theft involved unless the Smyths Toy Company is stealing from the factories in Vietnam  

These are still coming, and they are the wave before Thundercracker. I expect they are just a bit further out due to the size of the toys and the resultant difficulties in shifting the size class. But they will come. Make no mistake.

 

Forgot that these are out in some places.

 

The figure looks good, but I'm also hoping that some 3rd party can make an add-on for him like a g1 fusion cannon or parts to make him look like his old RID body.

 

Mostly, i was it's just curious how little noise there's been. You'd think there'd at least be a preorder somewhere by now.

I wonder if given that they are 2015 releases they may have decided late in the process to put them in CW packaging, and it was far enough along that it caused a delay?

 

Well we had 2 Leader Bots in AOE so 3 Cons this time will balance it out.

 

Wow, that face looks like it came right from the cartoon!

He's good from the waist up, but those legs need some bulk.

 

There is a third party making a IDW Meg's. Not sure on the size or which it will be exactly. Check it out!  

 

They haven't made any Decepticon Leaders in 4 years. I can see why people would find it odd that they'd release 3 in a row all of a sudden.

IIRC, it's based on the Cybertronian form he had very early in the war.
