Title:
Overload
Description:
Overload (Micromaster Transport, 1989)Takara ID number: C-337Accessories: Trailer/jet.
The Transformers Overload transforms into a blue semi cab pulling a grey and red car carrier trailer. Overall, the colour scheme is quite similar to that of the Diaclone Powered Convoy toy that was later redecoed into Generation 1 Ultra Magnus. The similarities continue, as Overload’s robot mode bears more than a passing resemblance to Optimus Prime, whilst his trailer even includes the iconic stripe down the side, albeit as a molded detail rather than a decal. The ramp/gate at the back of the trailer folds down, allowing one to transport up to two smaller Micromasters inside, and two more on the top deck. The trailer unfolds into a jet which Overload can ride in the back of.The Overload toy was sold in Japan a year later as Zone "Roadjet”. This Takara release replaces the black paint on the truck grill with silver, but is otherwise identical to the Hasbro release.
