I don't buy the explanation of "The U.S. only knows him as Gigatron" as it is a load of Beryllium Baloney , and I doubt it'd be due to Copyright either as they'd just slap "Decepticon" in front of "Overlord", re: Decepticon Overlord , so what other possible reasons might there be?
This.

Still... it's a BotCon toy that's aimed at fans... fans know who freakin' Overlord is! It'd be a weak excuse for a regular store release, it's a urine-poor excuse for an exclusive figure.

I have the same problem with this as I did with Banzaitron. It looks nice, but no matter what colour scheme you put on this mold, it's still going to look like a robot skeleton samurai aka Bludgeon.
The only part that looks skeletal is the face. The rest of the body looks samurai-armour-esque... which does work for Banzaitron (so does the helmet, if not the face)... doesn't quite work for Overlord though. The only thing that looks Overlordy on that mould is that new head.

I don't think it looks too bad though. Masterforce Overlord's character did have a fierce sense of warrior honour - so that kinda makes sense. Not Hasbro Overlord though... as we saw in LSotW he's just a cruel amoral son of a glitch (and absolutely awesome villain! ).
