Kabaya Overlord & Road Caeser

[griffin]

A preliminary mock-up image has surfaced (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/japanese-transformers-40/transformers-gum-dx-overlord-with-road-caesar-brainmasters-178513/) of the next DX Kabaya (big size) set - Overlord.
It looks to be similar to Fortress Maximus, with two or three kits that can be merged to form the large robot.
The three Autobot Brainmasters are shown as well, so maybe this will be a set of 5 kits, resulting in two combined figures.

Said to be out in December.

A nice new, colour image of this next set (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/japanese-transformers-40/transformers-gum-dx-wave-2-overlord-with-brainmasters-new-image-178680/).
I'm still not sure how they are going to release this.

The source article claims that Overload will be in three packs, and each one will come with a tiny Autobot Brainmaster.
But the Brainmasters look too big (based on the size of the joints, and having moving parts), so I'm thinking that maybe Overlord could be in two packs (tank and jet), and the Brainmasters are each a separate kit.... totalling five packs to complete this assortment. (it would also be better scaling for the "humans" in each kit)

Either way, they are both odd amounts, since there are usually 8 kits/packs to a master case.

They are the bigger boxes like Fort Max was shipped, and apparantly are 5 per case.

i think the split was reported as Overlord 1 box, Limb cars 1 box, black car and parts 1 box (Names escape me)
