    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!

    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. ;)

    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).
