Title:
Overload with Rollout
Description:
Overload with Rollout (Max-Con, 2003)
Takara/Sonokong ID number: MC-14
Takara release date: September ??, 2003
Accessories: 2 missiles
Released in the fourth wave of Armada Max-Cons (the first wave with the "Unicron Battles” branding), Overload is a red and black Cybertronian weapons trailer capable of carrying Jetfire in his vehicle mode. He is nominally towed by his pack-in Mini-Con Rollout in his vehicle mode, but can also be towed by both the Super Base Optimus Prime and Super-Con Optimus Prime in vehicle mode, or towed behind Supreme Optimus’s trailer thanks to a fold-out hook on his front end.
His robot mode is incomplete by himself, needing Rollout plugged into the chest cavity to form the central torso and head. Once installed, pushing Rollout back into the cavity just a bit further activates the classic Generation 1 cartoon transformation sound effect. Each shoulder has a flip-up panel revealing (non-firing) multi-missile racks.
He also has a third mode (without Rollout), transforming into a dual spring-loaded missile-firing cannon pack. This mode can attach to Super Base Optimus Prime in Super Mode, forming "Optimus Prime Megaweapon”. It can also be attached to Prime’s trailer in its base mode, wrapping around the central tower.
The Takara Legend of the Microns version of "Ultra Magnus” has all of his unpaintable plastic (his hips, trailer-cannons, arm-mounted ramps, tailer-hook and a few other small joint parts) cast in dark red plastic. He also has a large number of changes to both his paint colors and layouts from the Hasbro version, the most significant change being a silver face instead of blue.
This mold was also used to make Energon Ultra Magnus (likely conceived as a Powerlinx redeco), and OTFCC 2004’s Universe Sentinel Maximus
