We’re back with another new Transformers gallery, and this time we’ve enacted Phase 6 on Garrus 9. Get ready, because the most vicious and sadistic Decepticon of them all, Overlord, is here!
The latest and greatest Titans Return Leader class release, Overlord is a remold of Titans Return Sky Shadow, essentially replacing the entire upper body / jet from Sky Shadow. This rendition of Overlord includes the Duocon gimmick from the original, with both vehicle modes being faithfully recreated, and even a version of the original Powermaster gimmick recreated for this release. Poseability is good, with ankle tilts a welcome addition, as are the twin hinges that allow a good range of movement in the shoulders, although it has to be said that one of these hinges is not strong enough to support the weight of the shield Overlord wields.
Overall, Overlord is a very welcome addition to the Titans Return lineup, and a character who we’ve been looking forward to for a while. Check out the gallery to admire him for yourself.

That's a cool idea. I like the deluxe Sky Shadow a lot, so I don't really want to get rid of it. I was thinking of maybe using it as a drone or something, but I think I like that more. Makes even more sense if the hired goon Sky Shadow is a fan of Black Shadow, so he just modeled his design after his hero. He's currently on my desk at work, but he may head back home soon now..

In all honesty think the Deluxe version has a slightly better design but still like the Leader class one a lot. So I'll just refer to the Deluxe one as Sky Shadow who will be one of my Takara Senator Ratbat's hired Goons with that Takara Remold of Amarda Starscream as a Blue Bacchus place holder.
The Leader Class version I'll call Black Shadow to go along with Sixshot and the pending Overlord I ordered over the weekend via BBTS to complete my Phase 6er crew.

Bummer. Thanks for pointing it out though.
Sol Fury
No, it's molded shut.
No, it was perfectly within my ability to buy him, it was beyond my ability to take a photo of the three Leaders together on account of not owning all three.
I've already got the Deluxe, and that's fine for me. He's not a character I feel a massive amount of connection with.

Not sure if you're still wondering, but no, they do not.
YoungPrime
Wait, it was beyond your ability to grab a worthy pre-mold…?
Are you a Phase 6er hater?!
MadMaximus
Does his Abdominal hatch not open for his guns?

G1 is big what happen to his size. But the new Overlord has my attention.
Ramberk Magnus
Do the chest panels stay flushed when closed when you have Titan Masters inside the chest cavities?
Skyclaw
Ill just wait on takaras version. Gives me plenty of timr to save up money. TFSource is predicting around December for Overlord to arrive.

I have the Takara Overlord on PO but…I'm sorely tempted to pick up a Hasbro version as well since the Takara version won't be coming out for another several months.
Demonacon
Definitely gonna get the Takara version
Windsweeper II
Loving that base mode.
Come on Hasbro! Where you at with the shipping! Octane, Blitzwing and Twin Twist were supposed to be shipped in july. I want to get them shipped with Overlord. I need shipping… shipping!

Titans Return Overlord is a converting machine. Who’s picking up this awesome bot?
[Wing_Saber-X]
He's always had boxy feet…From his G1 days till his IDW design.
deathdrive
If you keep the back treads down and the toes lowered you get about an inch of height! Pretty stable too.
The sticker work is pretty damn garbage though, WAY more sticker over molded detail than im used to.. i dont think running over panel lines with an exacto knife into the stickers are gonna work this time
Also he needs a bigger gun fo sho. Gotta spend for some upgrade kit again le sigh.. hopefully its just a barrel that goes over the gun nozzle
