I never knew they made a g1 toy of Overlord. He was really badass in the IDW comics!! I hope with the Titan Returns line coming out he will get made to fight Powermaster Optimus and maybe get a Titan Class Version!!
+Ron Butler Check out the Masterforce series. It's much darker than the Sunbow G1 series that was in the USA. WIth human deaths, I can see why the censors would have had issues with it. (For the love of the gods, I never knew why US censors were such pussies)
AMAZING REVIEW! At 0:52 when you showed the original price tag of 94.90 German Marks, in 1991 that was the equivalent of $55.26 U.S. dollars, and when adjusted for inflation that is the price of $99.61 U.S. dollars in 2017, if G1 Overlord is reissued by Hasbro chances are likely he'd retail for at least $120.00 U.S. dollars. AAUGH! :0 Again fantastic review.
So jealous. My overlord is in awful condition, but yours is amazing. One of my all time favourites - up there with sixshot for me. Great review, thanks
2:21 I think that's just the different types of plastics used. The Japanese one has much more vibrant lavender for all the parts, more than the difference seen in these.
i had one of this toy when i was 6 years old, i have played with it maybe 10 years i would care it as if it is my child. i gave it my nephew.he has played with it a few years then he gave it his brother unfortunately my little nephew didn't understand its value and he screwed it up in a few months.
Does anyone know the value of this, I have the Uk version with all the parts. Only missing the styrofoam inserts and the box is not great condition. All in good working condition and manual included
OMGmaster! 'Lady Mega' is the best pet name ever for your WAG. This is a fantastic set, must have cost a fair few doubloons... but I'm sure you don't regret it. Thanks for the look! :-)
great bot luke i'm still short alot of part's for this guy but i do at least have his powermasters and tank barrel, i look out for a cheap large gun and small double gun and that oh so expensive middle ramp! i'd love to find some part's in a box at a booty! great review mate!
MAN!! Do I like this thing!! Just wondering though, does your timing for releasing this video have anything to do with Hasbro's resent release of Generations Doubledealer? If not, it's a real coincidence! It almost seems that a new "Generations Overlord" would've been a better fit for a reuse of the Generations Blitzwing body mold. Thanks Luke, for opening my eyes up to this obscure character.
have you heard of fanshobby Doubleevil (its a very newer transformer toy) that's their name for overlord since they cnat use official names, it's bigger than this and has diecast in it too, and completely posable
One of the best G1 Transformers ever made. Takara needs to reissue this fig in the encore line! Great review Luke.
Imagine how well it would sell! They are crazy for not making it yet
I never knew they made a g1 toy of Overlord. He was really badass in the IDW comics!!
I hope with the Titan Returns line coming out he will get made to fight Powermaster Optimus and maybe get a Titan Class Version!!

Watch these videos in 1080p and fullscreen people. Cannot stress that enough.
Awesome review
haha, good advice mate! Cheers
Thanks! Cheers

Thanks buddy, haha Overlord for $120 that's a bargain

Cheers mate, damn Sixshot, I still don't have him!

I had this when I was a child brings back memories
i had this when i was a kid!!! then it went missing. i was the coolest kid at school because I had this lmao.
i still have no idea who took it
Great video, thank you. Overlord's on my list of guys to pick up one day.
Thank mate
The fact that I can never own this makes me depressed as hell.
supercell615 I never thought I would get this either, just got lucky on ebay.
I gotta know, how much was he? Great Vid!
Im so sorry, that robot is in my basement right now XD
@@actionjackman you Scottish or Irish?
i had one of this toy when i was 6 years old, i have played with it maybe 10 years i would care it as if it is my child.
i gave it my nephew.he has played with it a few years then he gave it his brother unfortunately
my little nephew didn't understand its value and he screwed it up in a few months.
How big is he compared to Scorponok and Fortress Maximus?
You can in fact turn the head around for jet mode
Does anyone know the value of this, I have the Uk version with all the parts. Only missing the styrofoam inserts and the box is not great condition.
All in good working condition and manual included
He is absolutely stunning mate. Awesome review :)
OMGmaster!

Well, this is the one I was on about, did you guess correctly?
I had an inkling to be honest. I was looking at a boxed example at AA - then I saw it was £800! Yow!
bumblejumper82 That's insane! Unless it was a case fresh MISB then fair enough
Nope. The box was no-where near as nice as yours is. No-one bought it as far as I know.
If I live to a thousand I won't understand why those ramps don't connect
fans hobby is making an Overlord within a year, that's MP scaled.
Awesome toy! This remains my G1 Grail!
predaking79 Hey man, how's it going? Bout time this got a reissue like.
great bot luke i'm still short alot of part's for this guy but i do at least have his powermasters and tank barrel, i look out for a cheap large gun and small double gun and that oh so expensive middle ramp! i'd love to find some part's in a box at a booty! great review mate!
Might happen one day mate, you never know. I had to go the in box route with this, the parts go for way too much on their own
actionjackman tell me about it! lol
Great video but one mistake... first you said the jet/tank mode was in the master force cartoon and then you said it wasn’t.
Wahh my parents bought me two (rich kid issues 🙃) but I played with both card boxes -> so I dont have have the packaging anymore :(
and hes so awesome by the way overlordi s one fo my favoritecharacters
excellent review mate!
Cones reminds me of Snapdragon Headmaster Triple Changer.
were can i get this figure from. i have the titans return version and i love it. one of the best figures i own
you can't.
holy crap there was g1 overlord sweet
I think this is identical to the original Japanese version from Transformers Masterforce. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Excellent presentation 👍🏻🍺

Just a coincidence mate, I don't really keep up with the modern stuff except the Masterpiece line. Always a pleasure my friend
The g1 toy is amazing I wish I had it
i could only find one G1 overlord online for like 1200 - 1500 dollars, jeez
The Lyle Sports Channel if you can deal with having a newer version than the g1, titans return overlord is amazing
have you heard of fanshobby Doubleevil (its a very newer transformer toy) that's their name for overlord since they cnat use official names, it's bigger than this and has diecast in it too, and completely posable
The Lyle Sports Channel ??!! Really?! Thanks for the info!How’s the price? Is it terribly expensive?
You actually sound like Shrek.
Nice.
Lots and lots of play value, a recent pick up mate? Cheers Fuzz.
Cheers mate, recent-ish this one. Yeah, hit the big 1k finally!
Mate you done it in very short time I think......your well on your way to being a Superstar! ;@)
Love me some Euro-formers.
Damn! I had one when I was a kid...Gave it away when we move...T.T
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Damn it! I feel your pain!
I forgot how big this thing was in base mode?!?!?!?
Great video mate and well done on reaching your target, over a 1000 before Christmas :0)
Awesome Luke!! Epic figure
Cheers Roy!
Awesome!---thanks for sharing
My pleasure good sir!
I have the titans return version
Very cool
Great Review I Subcribed
+Astrotankerpixel Moderatus Nice one! Cheers
Still, it’s a great toy.
very good
its omega sepreme but bad
Action/power/trigger masters all seem cheap and clunky.
