Hat tip to 2005 Board member Nevermore for alerting us to a listing for a new (or is it cancelled?) Robots In Disguise toy. According to a listing over at UK retailer thetoyshop , we have a listing for a new Deployer figure named Overload. The figure is simultaneously listed as “Discontinued” as well as “Coming Soon”. The listing unfortunately contains no images (The picture attached to this story is of Armada Overload).So, take this news with a grain of salt as we receive more information. Hopefully, fans of the line can be looking forward to a new Deployer figure to fire their growing Minicon collections.
You can check out the listing at the link above.

ToyWiz not only lists Overload, but also a second version of Drift that's different from the wave 1 version.
I double-checked with the BBCW Distributors listing, and indeed, his product number (630509363766) is a different one from the wave 1 version (630509289271).

If it's Armada Overload update then the posability might actually be improved!
Nonetheless I'm intrigued.

I'm guessing it be a new mold,rather than just a repaint of Drift or Fracture. I have a hunch. Besides,it be odd a guy called Overload is just Fracture with Different tooling.
Speaking of which… What minicon will he/she be bundled with?

Neither Jetstorm nor Slipstream are Deployers.
Spiderus Prime
He or She could/would be a Jetstorm/Slipsteam Retool/Repaint.

Interesting. I doubt it'll be a Armada Overload homage.
NemiMonkey
Maybe a yet unseen repaint they weren't supposed to have listed yet?
Color me very curious either way.

Oh please be a homage to Armada Overload, please, please!

No photos yet, listed as "discontinued" and "coming soon" at the same time.
