He has so much playability. There’s even a super jet mode that’s not in the instructions but used in the cartoon. So he can actually have a crazy 5 modes.
Just wow. By far one of the best figures to come out of G1. I can't believe it was never released in the US, but I suppose I should not be surprised it wasn't. Thank you Nagging Guy and Patriot Prime!
This is a Great Figure! But Patriot, you forgot one mode, on Vehicle mode, you extend the leg ports of the Jet and plug the Tank at it´s back. It creates a mega Flying Vehicle. He used it often in the Master Force Series! It would be cool if you could show it in one video before you return the toy!
What a shame we never got this beast in the states, it's easily one of the highlights of G1 and would have stood proudly against all of the Autobot giants.
Hi PP... One of your favorite characters. I'm surprised you didn't include the backstory of the character like you do with G1. Of maybe it's in your TR video of the character. I'll have to go re-watch that one too see. Great review!
I found him in 2006 or so for $500 in box with styrofoam. The tank attachment was broken and the box was ripped, but I loved him. In 2012 I had to sell my collection to pay off my credit card, but the truth was it had been getting way too big for me to manage anyway. I don't have the space you do. I'm so thankful for the memories. I was really lucky. Also, Mega is actually a woman. ;)
He is an awesome figure & 1 awesome center piece of my collection. I was looking internationally on eBay in the late 1990s/ early 2000s & scored 1 from Italy. The box looks sweet also. Thanks for doing this video sir! Somebody did a custom Cobra version of this guy as well- pretty slick! Again great video!
4:50 Sorry, but you’ve got the names backwards. Fantastic review as always! I’m considering picking up a G1 Overlord myself. A very cool figure with a lot of play and display value.
Man, this guy... really wish I could have it, but at those prices I would never be able to get him. Very awesome that you finally got a chance to fiddle around with an original Overlord. 🙂
@@PatriotPrimeReviews Must have been quite the big surprise. Honestly, it would be like me receiving a G1 Minerva from someone (I know it'll never happen, but one can dream 😆).
Awesome review Patriot! Overlord looks very impressive, shame we didn't have a chance at him here the states. Would absolutely love for Takara to reissue him like they did with Fort Max.
@@PatriotPrimeReviews He was the last G1 reissued Encore, I believe Fort Max was the last reissue Takara did with the exception of the G1 Optimus, the Walmart reissue and the Bumblebee movie Optimus Studio Series 2 pack from a few years ago. Would love to see more, hopefully we'll hear something soon.
He is a awesome guy. In the Japanese show Super God Master Force he is his own way killing everyone in his way. I like the IDW version of Overlord as a rival of Megatron show which cons will fit to lead the Decepticons. He is amazing thank you for the video review of SGMF/G1 Overlord.
At first just really seeing the jet mode, thought it was a recolor of Snapdragon or something. Man, my anxiety would of been on overload handling that figure. Props to the owner for keeping it in the condition that it is in and letting you use it, legend.
Hey guys I got one, my father bought it in Japan when I was a kid. Before this video I never thought it's rare and valuable. Mine missing a few element and decapitated. Any idea where to get spare parts?
I rememebr seeing Overlord in shops (I am in the UK) and could never afford one, that hasn't changed lol! However, a friend of mine did get one and we played about with that, loved the figure. The story has a sad ending though as he decided he was to old for TF and gave them to his little brother who trashed them all pretty quickly :( it was nice that we got something the USA didn't for a change though, you guys got a fair numberof G1 figures that we never saw (that trend has also never stopped and it's annoying many fans these days).
My greatest regret is I had a chance to get one incomplete it was missing one of the ramps and all the other radar/gun attachments but it was 60$. This was in 2000 so I was after more Gi-joes at the time, if I only knew we would have 3d printing to get the accessories and how much I would end up loving the toy and character lol. But that was the first time I had ever saw one
Man this would have been a fun fig to get back then. Wonder what the reason was why never was sent over here to the US. He is a beast of a con. Remember oh a few clips of Master Force with him in it. One oddly his . . . no thats a spoiler. I watched before going to work today but wasn't at full attention cause was getting ready. Making up now.
I have the 1993 version but only Mega Jet been looking for Giga tank and both masters so I can finish him. I bought it for $20 just because it was so large and wanted to finish finding the rest of his pieces. This is a very very large toy for something so old.
@Polybius Unknown ehh I managed to, and like I said I've seen him pop on ebay for around that price mostly complete in good condition, they don't last long on ebay tho
@Polybius Unknown I agree. The last one that popped up on ebay for under $500 was last year and I think it was in Germany. You can find them for a decent price but not very often. It was easier to find one about 5 or 6 years ago but he has gained some traction.
I got a mint, complete with box Italian Version at Botcon 2001 for a steal. Space is needed and it may go. I'll hit you up. I appreciate your service! That will factor in if it goes.
@@PatriotPrimeReviews good deal! Mine also shipped the 16 so I should get it today or tomorrow. I’m in Fayette Co. right by the New River Gorge Bridge, if you know where that is?

Here we have 3 types of greatness: the greatness of who lend you the figure, the greatness of the figure itself and the greatness of this good video
Thank you so much.
@@PatriotPrimeReviews nice overlord bro is you not overlord
Just wow. By far one of the best figures to come out of G1. I can't believe it was never released in the US, but I suppose I should not be surprised it wasn't.
Thank you Nagging Guy and Patriot Prime!
This guy has been on my dream list for days
He is currently one of the rarest Transformers!!!
This is a Great Figure! But Patriot, you forgot one mode, on Vehicle mode, you extend the leg ports of the Jet and plug the Tank at it´s back. It creates a mega Flying Vehicle. He used it often in the Master Force Series! It would be cool if you could show it in one video before you return the toy!
I researched the figure before shooting and just decided to leave it out because it was just over lord lying down with the nosecone attached.
@@PatriotPrimeReviews Oh Yeah... You are right. In the series looked so cool! But when you put it that way it sounds pretty lame... HAHAHA!!!
@@diegos7337 I’ve done a video on my channel and included that mode if you’d like to see it
Overload was also released in Australia in the late 80s
Good to know, thanks.
Overlord was also released there back then if I remember correctly
And Europe. His Powermaster partners were called "Energon figures", with no mention of him being a Powermaster.
i wish they did the slide out fists on the modern figures. It'd solve a lot of the problems with hollow forearms.
I agree with you 100% on that.
I actually mentioned that in my ss86 Grimlock Review (not finished yet).
Such an amazing figure! After this you're gonna be SCOURING the internet to get your own!
Already been doing it. 😁
Thanks for watching my man.
Hooah!!!
@@PatriotPrimeReviews good luck on finding a complete one that isn't broken or badly discolored.
What a shame we never got this beast in the states, it's easily one of the highlights of G1 and would have stood proudly against all of the Autobot giants.
I know, right?
I'm truly blessed that I was entrusted with this guy for a review.
Hi PP... One of your favorite characters. I'm surprised you didn't include the backstory of the character like you do with G1. Of maybe it's in your TR video of the character. I'll have to go re-watch that one too see. Great review!
I thought about it, I always go over G1 US Comic & Cartoon History, but I'm not that familiar with the Japanese series (still haven't watched it).
I found him in 2006 or so for $500 in box with styrofoam. The tank attachment was broken and the box was ripped, but I loved him. In 2012 I had to sell my collection to pay off my credit card, but the truth was it had been getting way too big for me to manage anyway. I don't have the space you do.

Also, Mega is actually a woman. ;)
I am only measuring things by units of Earthrise Trailers from now on lol, such an awesome figure!
I thought I had a Tape measure on my desk...I did not, and the Prime trailers were within reach.
He is an awesome figure & 1 awesome center piece of my collection. I was looking internationally on eBay in the late 1990s/ early 2000s & scored 1 from Italy. The box looks sweet also.

Fantastic review Patriot Prime!!!!!!!! :D Overlord looks really imposing in all of his modes. :D Keep on being amazing, Double Thumbs Up. ;D
Glad u enjoyed the experience. Good luck hunting for one
Thank you "Nagging-Guy" so much for allowing me to check this figure out.
He'll be on his way home shortly.
@@PatriotPrimeReviews alright. I'm glad u had a joyful experience messing with him. Now u know what ur getting into for around $600+.
One of the true great G1 figures
He is a awesome guy. In the Japanese show Super God Master Force he is his own way killing everyone in his way. I like the IDW version of Overlord as a rival of Megatron show which cons will fit to lead the Decepticons. He is amazing thank you for the video review of SGMF/G1 Overlord.
Great review. I may have to try to acquire one at Pete's RoboCon this year. They had 2 at the 2019 show. Should've pulled the trigger than.
Yep, I need one. A new Holy Grail for my Transformers collection. Great work, Prime. Thank you
You and me both!
At first just really seeing the jet mode, thought it was a recolor of Snapdragon or something. Man, my anxiety would of been on overload handling that figure.
Props to the owner for keeping it in the condition that it is in and letting you use it, legend.
I was very nervous handling this figure. I wanted to get this review knocked out and get him back to the owner.
Yeah i remembered seeing him on the shelves here in Japan.😄
Great review as usual PPR, must have been fun for you to review this white whale.
It was...and also scary.
I did not want anything to happen to this beautiful figure while in my possession.
Hey guys I got one, my father bought it in Japan when I was a kid. Before this video I never thought it's rare and valuable. Mine missing a few element and decapitated. Any idea where to get spare parts?
Mega is not "he". Mega is "she". She is wife of Giga.

I see that Hasbro Pulse is opening a UK site...so hopefully that'll help.
@@PatriotPrimeReviews thank goodness, that is very long overdue.
Amazing review of a true GEM. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I was honored to be able to review it.
That Double Evil is still crazy impressive
Yes he is, Love that figure
Might be the last truly cool 80's era Decepticon released (imho).
Dezarus was excellent too
Overlord is a fabulous figure...
I had mine from new and sold it a few years ago. I was never really a big fan of it, so I don't miss it. As you say, just a big brick of a figure.
love your videos, especially the toyhax relabeling videos.
Thanks so much.
Really awesome one man! And for me he is like a power master giant duocon
He is.
Badass!!
My greatest regret is I had a chance to get one incomplete it was missing one of the ramps and all the other radar/gun attachments but it was 60$.

Duuuuude, that sucks.
I get sick every time I think of the figures that has slipped through my fingers.
Awesome figure!
It really is!
I know this is expensive but at least we have the Titans Re-
16:05
Wow, TR is tiny next to G1 Overlord.
Man this would have been a fun fig to get back then. Wonder what the reason was why never was sent over here to the US.

Good luck on your restoration
I love these Japanese Transformers!
Why does your titans return overlord look so different than mine?
I wasn’t a fan of the later Japanese Transformers cartoons but I do like some of the G1 toys they created.
keep an eye out on ebay, I've seen euro versions pop up for about $400 almost complete in good condition, it's how I got mine
Hooah!!!! Thanks for the info.
@@PatriotPrimeReviews no prob, great review!

Thank you so much, please do.
Better than Galvatron?
Whouldn't he be considered a Duocon as well?
How long does it normally take to receive decals from toyhax? I ordered some a couple weeks ago.
Usually for me here in WV, about 14 to 18 days.
@@PatriotPrimeReviews I’m in WV as well.
I received an order yesterday that shipped on the 16th.
They're out of Canada so it takes a bit.
@@PatriotPrimeReviews good deal! Mine also shipped the 16 so I should get it today or tomorrow. I’m in Fayette Co. right by the New River Gorge Bridge, if you know where that is?
@@Addam1978 I sure do, I'm in Greenbrier Co.
Transform
God on
Gattai Overlord 💪
You messed up. you should have put on the Power Masters.😢
As I stated...not my figure, so I treated him with kid gloves.
Not risking breaking someone else's $600.00 figure.
I could never get away with the Overlord toys, whether it's a G1 version or a modern iteration, it's just so damn meh, give me a thottlebot any day
sad that my power masters are all gone execept optimus
He is a big figure but to me he is just plain Jane. His transformation to me is just ehhh.
I thought I was the only one who felt like that about the toy, it's just so...dull
What, no comparison with Powermaster Optimus Prime? ;)
He's bigger. :)
I always compare Autobots with Autobots and Cons with Cons, it's just been my thing.
That Titans return overlord is just way to small
@Matt Borel Something looks off about it to I don’t know what
8:39 Mega is female.
I still have mine, but the box is in an awful state.
