Really? Random mass killings happened a lot in the G1 Marvel comics. It was a great way for Hasbro to remove toys that were no longer currently on sale from continuity and clear way for new toys to take the spotlight. Underbase Saga anyone?

"Oh noes~1!! I'm a 1985 figure, I don't stand a chance in this fight!"

Although Fort Max's maiming was particularly disturbing. At least I read it as an adult this time... seeing Straxus rip off Scrounge's arm or Galvatron ripping Fort Max's circuits out with his teeth as a kid freaked me out. It's amazing the amount of violence they can get away with in Transformers cos they're robots! Just look at Waspinator! If that happened in any other cartoon (like say, South Park) it'd be rated M!

Wouldn't surprise me. Just as well Overlord's not on my priority wants list! I think it's interesting how this Overlord (persona) is actually Hasbro's Overlord and not Takara's. AFAIK Hasbro's Overlord has never had a canonical appearance before.
