I am having flashbacks of arguing about that not being the RID toyline proper and basically just Universe 0.5 before they changed the name to get retailers to look at it again.
Size wise, Overlord is a bit bigger than MW Starscream, but that is the thing. The way I proposed it, It's meant to be the big toy of the second wave. The crowning figure of the toyline. However, it runs into a problem where you have an issue that you can't just call it a pre-existing character...
I really hate the keycard games as a concept. It is just a matter of time before it is worthless plastic waste. I am grateful that they at least label them clearly.
Some of the Scramble City combiners maybe? They used the Bruticus molds a couple years later for Car Robots, so that would have been a great choice. Or maybe throw in the Zone Transformers? They had the Micromaster combiners and Big Powered. That way, with the Overlord mold, you could have two...
So would Wave 2 of Machine Wars have used the Overlord mold? That would have been a nice figure to have as the centerpiece. Who would he be? An Autobot or Decepticon? A new character or a rehash of a G1 character like Flywheels for example given the alt modes?
Man, that sucks. He was in a ton of stuff that I watched growing up. I didn't remember his Star Trek roles, which is on me since he was in one of the best episodes of TNG, the Inner Light*.
* Not the best episode IMO, which is Season 4 Episode 2 Family.
