That seems like it would require an awful lot of retooling to work, more so than most exclusives get. Sure, Netflix Soundwave got a lot of retooling, but can you really compare the popularity of Soundwave (a mold that was already used twice prior) and Override? Then there's Fangry, but again they used that mold so many times they probably already had all the parts tooled just waiting to be used. Can't imagine they planned to reuse Hot Rod as Override from the start.

GUOP was a retail figure so extensive retooling wasn't a surprise. Hot Shot was just a simple head swap which is the norm for exclusives. Soundwave figures will always sell and a tape player version was in high demand so heavy retooling was a no brainer. Override, on the other hand, is a little remembered character with a not particularly good figure, I'd be surprised if they do anything more than give her a new head and call it good.

As would I, I'm just not as optimistic.
