Thoughts

Compared to the other loader Scavenger, Overload is AMAZING, nothing gives away his purpose (apart from the accessory) and is a fine stand alone, looking great in robot mode with his spindly insectoid arms.



Great detail, lots of greebling but not overdone, makes robot mode really detailed and interesting to look at.



But vehicle mode.... what the hell were they thinking. He looks great from the same angle used on the box... but that’s it. Devastators butt takes center stage literally, and looks like 2 different people worked on the left and the right, and so one changed the dimensions without telling the other! The difference in leg connectors means Long Hauls leg side is 13mm shorter than Rampages leg side, meaning the dump truck bed is just ruined. And the side detailing matches at the ends, so it’s not even like there was a 1cm long insert to plug the gap, which there so easily could have been.




But overall, he is amazing. Just keep him in bot mode or devy mode, and you’d never know they screwed this up so badly.
