I appreciate how they gave him a characterization that isn't suggested by his bodytype - the majority of tank TFs tend to be dim bruisers (Brawl, Warpath) or warlords (Bludgeon, Turmoil, some Megatrons). This obnoxious, egotistical actor's an entertaining twist.Madeus Prime wrote:Well, after watching Overloaded P1, I can say Overload is a nice refreshing light villain with a good egomaniacal streak. I like his attitude towards Prime and his constant usage of acting terms.

Funny you say that, I thought it was a reuse of the animation model from the bot Windblade took down in her first ep.Madeus Prime wrote:
Forget everything I said about the polar bear 'Con being a redesign of Steeljaw, different animation model. But you can see why I had assumed it was the same, in my defense.

The non-Furry Decepticons are of some interest to me though.

That's a bit hyperbolic - although I like both Beast Wars and RiD15's animalistic designs, I can totally see how someone might like one and not the other - a wolf tail on a carformer might seem a lot like wheels on a wolfformer, yeah? In my eyes the two examples aren't equivalent, but I can see how it might affect someone else's enjoyment.Deadput wrote:Mkall wrote:Agreed.

Do you like Beast Wars?
If you do and dislike the Decepticon designs of the show being based on animals that makes you a hypocrite.

Precisely RevTibe.
Beast Wars, robots with animal modes, was the entire theme of the show. The characters personalities were related to their altmodes a little bit, but not overwhelmingly so (except Waspinator, but he's special). Even when the lore did not require them to need animal modes (after all the Energon became stable), they still stuck with the theme. Why? Because there was in-lore reasons.
With RiD, there is no REASON given in-story (to my knowledge) that describes why all criminal Decepticons, from disparate backgrounds from all over Cybertron, that were locked into stasis pods that they be given some sort of animalistic persona/appearance to varying degrees. Sure, it's an obvious Hasbro marketing idea, and to give points to the show's writing most of them are pulled off well with a good personality. However to me it's a suspension of disbelief that I really have trouble accepting. Granted I'm not a 6-10 kid anymore, but I feel that similar characters/stories could have been made with more traditional-style Decepticons.
