Every time I see that pic of Overlord from the comics I want to say "My brand!"

I always thought Classics Rodimus had 4mm ports?
Back on topic, while the Cybertron boxset Thunderwing is intended for use with that sets Tidalwave, and bar the exception of Sky Shadow, who else do you think he'd work well with?
3mm ports go back to the G1 Autobot Cars, the Dinobots, the Constructicons, and the Special Teams limb members (Well, except the Aerialbots)
Anybody got any connected base mode photos of the Leader-class figures (for these purposes, Sixshot's tank mode counts)?
Speaking of base modes, add me in to those hoping there will be a Dai Atlas (who would probably be packaged as "King Atlas" - precedent plus "Dai" sounds like "Die" and retailers aren't letting any brand other than Star Wars use words like "Die", "Death", and "Kill" these days) from the Sky Shadow/Overlord mold and/or that the "Power of the Primes" successor line will have compatible base modes. Because PMOP's base mode is.. yeah. There's that fan mode that points the decks forward to give driving clearance on the ramps, but it's still not ideal for linking him to other base modes (if only his knees were reversible so that the ramps could point out to the sides like the original PMOP..). That and, well, as far as regular retail goes: The Decepticons have Oversize Soundwave, Overlord, Sky Shadow, and Sixshot. The Autobots have Oversize Blaster and Powermaster Optimus Prime. "Quickswitch" and "Magnus Prime" even the numbers out but they're set exclusives and Magnus Prime is not exactly super-distinct in color from PMOP (at least Overlord and Sky Shadow have markedly different color schemes) and unless he's been retooled to have reversible knees his base mode has the same deficiencies. So we could decidedly do with either Dai Atlas or an Apex Bomber import of Godbomber.
