I honestly think the southern accent suits Overlord, he does look like the kind of con that would charm you before he kills you, ask Rotorstorm. [Edit: This is the same way I think a german accent fits Blitzwing, half of his name is german afterall]

[@KingNanoA]

Anyone almost surprised that Overlord was never added to Bayverse? He would fit uncomfortably well.

[@TuberoseKisser]

I know this comment is 4 years old but I think the reason why he was never added is just cause what he does wouldn't stand out from the ultra violence that already happens in the movies.

[@GalvyTheTom]

Even he would look at what was happening in the Bayverse and say "Hmm, I think I've been outclassed, this is a little too much for me"

[@myriadmediamusings]

Ah, I see. Between his rather unique apperance in Masterforce, to being a key component of the renowned Wreckers and Lost Light comic series, to having a major role in Prime Wars, I can see why Overlord has become a fan favorite. He’s certainly got some unique aspects to him. Hasbro really needs to Spawn more Overlords in future incarnations of the franchise to give him more exposure.

[@KingNanoA]

Pio Nepomuceno there’s one particular quote from Wreckers about overlord that always stick in my mind: Kup: “Unlike every other ‘con tough enough to give Megatron sleepless nights, Overlord wasn’t power-hungry. He just wanted to graduate from homicide to genocide. Add a few notches to his kill stats.”

[@RapidFyrez]

You made this entire comment just to make that pun didn't you?

[@sebastianorduzo322]

Finally. This guy is one of the most monstrous (I speak english at an ALMOST professional level, ok?) Transformers that ever existed (thanks to IDW) and I would love to see a spotlight comic about him by, IDK, Justin Jordan and German Erramouspe? That's just my opinion. Also, SPOILER ALERT, he killed the real Rewind, so he deserves worse.

[@TheSithLibraryArchivesGalactic]

It's weird, when I first voiced Overlord in my MTMTE video, I did him with a southern accent too. WELL before ever seeing him depicted in the Machinima series speaking with one. I just read his words again and again and for some reason, his voice felt natural speaking his words with that accent and tone. It seems I guess like a sophisticated with a cruel side kinda scary accent that you don't wanna run into when alone at night outside a Florida bar.

[@zoltanperei4789]

And since I never got into the Japanese media I have had no idea who this toy was until now. Thank you for laying the mystery to rest!

A fitting end would be Megatron kicking Overlord's ass so hard that Overlord can't repair himself from it and Megatron slapping Overlord with the truth that even as a "weak" Autobot, Megatron is still stronger than Overlord. Thus defeating Overlord both psychologically and physically

I'm never going to unhear that southern accent, and I love it. Thank you for the episode!

I don't know exactly when I was aware of Overlord, but it was close to when the G1 Commemerative toys were out in Canada. I didn't grow up on G1 but I started looking into it and was immediately attracted to some of the Japanese ones since I was already into Gundam. (and maybe RID was on at that point?) Overlord and Star Saber were ones that I always wanted and thankfully they did eventually get new toys many many years later.

[@damonbecker9409]

I learned about Overlord from the Transformers:Titan Return cartoon series. I have been fascinated with the character. I have been looking up information about the character.

So weirdly enough, I first encountered Overlord from a webcomic I used to read that had a mini arc about someone breaking her rommate's Overlord figure and struggling to describe it over the phone while panicking on how she can fix or replace it.

[@iinkygiirl5078]

what was that webcomic?

[@CosmicPlatonix]

​@iinkygiirl5078 Fair warning: it's a comic aimed at adults, with lots of sexual content. Its title is "Menage a 3", published by Pixie Trix Comix. The plot twist with the Overlord figure 'breaking' is that it wasn't actually damaged at all; the girl just didn't know much of anything about Transformers, and had no idea that this character was meant to be broken apart and put back together as part of transforming it. Upon discovering this, the boy tricked the girl into agreeing to watch a bunch of old cartoon episodes with him before he revealed the truth.

Thanks so much for doing this. As a 40 year old fan, who really only had exposure to the original American cartoons, as well as a light exposure to the comics, and more recently the Machinema Prime Wars Trilogy, I had no idea who Overlord was. Now that I'm getting a better sense of what the Masterforce and Headmasters and Victory were all about (none of which I had any exposure to growing up), I love your show that helps catch me up. I hope you do one on Sixshot, or at the very least, the Six-Changers. Also the powermasters themselves. I got as a kid Powermaster Optimus Prime, and Sixshot. I had zero context for them other than what was in the commercials. Thanks!

[@rodimusrider8798]

I first discovered him in the pages of MTMTE after Red Alert discovered him I knew he was a major threat in the comics and after reading Last Stand I can see why though I had no idea of his Master Force days might check that anime after hearing about the dynamic of its Generation of Decepticons I like villains with shades of nobility

[@kamphaer3421]

I heard of Overlord from Titans Return, and I just today got his Toy in my hands. He's one imposing badass.

[@seantaylor424]

"Last Stand of the Wreckers" is probably his most famous appearance, but it seems that Overlord was destined for violence even before he was himself, given that surprisingly-graphic beatdown he gave Jinrai (or was that Optimus shown when Jinrai was mentioned?) in Super-God Masterforce. They say the best characters take on a life of their own and influence their writers on where to go; if a character can debut in a mostly-forgotten series and keep his hobby when he comes back decades later with few toys to his name, I'd say that Overlord definitely took on a life of his own...Which is very sad when you consider how many lives of others he's taken...

[@TFfangeek]

I have always imagined Overlord being the Decepticon equivalent of Ultra Magnus. Overlord is the #2 Decepticon after Megatron and Ultra Magnus being #2 after Optimus Prime for the Autobots. I did not know of Overlord until the first announcement of his Titans Return figure. Overlord has become one of my top 5 favorite G1 toys/characters, since I learned about him. :D

[@originaluddite]

I've always felt that way about Shockwave. :)

[@TFfangeek]

​@@originaluddite I view the Decepticon's top rank's in terms of how sinister the characters are in this order: 1) Megatron/Galvatron 2) Overlord 3) Deathsaurus 4) Nemesis Prime 5) Soundwave 6) Shockwave 7) Scorponok 8) Cyclonus What do you think?

[@originaluddite]

I'm at a bit of a disadvantage here, not really being familiar with the Japan-only part of G1, but I'd happily agree to your ordering of who is most sinister. I'm not sure that's would translate into ranks, however. Two very ruthless and ambitious Decepticons might never accept one another as superior, and so the result would be two rival faction leaders, or one overall leader and one outcast maverick. With that in mind, the most sinister character might be the leader, the second most sinister one an independent marauder, the third most sinister a lieutenant serving the leader, and so on. :)

Did not expect the southern twang, but I can't say that I hate it.

My first encounter of Overlord was in Japan at the Nikko Narita hotel in 1988, where my brother and I saw him and asked our Mom to buy the toy. I had the tank, and my brother had the jet. Overlord was great, and I wondered when he was going to reach the Western world. He was so unique at the time, as he was the double powermaster, we knew there was a cartoon in Japan, but we never got to see them for how many decades. Glad to see Overlord was a character that fans also enjoyed, not only in Japan.
