Care of Fans Hobby Facebook Fan Page, we can share for your new image of the color test shot of their MB-08 Double Evil (G1 Overlord).
The colored test shots in robot and jet mode look impressive, even without any printing or spray painting details. We should expect a great finishing in the final product. The colors seem to be based on the G1 Overlord toy, and the figure includes 2 Powermasters which can be used as pilots in the jet and tank modes.
This new Overlord mold is as tall as the official Masterpiece Star Saber, and we are sure it will look great in your collection. You cam already pre-order it via our sponsors below for about $225 and expected for release on the 1st quarter 2019.

I still have this guy as well. Fun transformation with the sliding legs/hips too.

That DE combo made me think of this guy:

Well, they did chest pieces for Lightning Eagle and Machine Eagle – replacing the Powermaster too, I believe (I don’t have either) – so it’s not unprecedented for them to do new parts for a slight remould.

It's just not Skyquake to me without a massive translucent green chest.

True. But as others have astutely stated previously, the purpose of FHxChosen Prime convention exclusive is not to get a figure to look exactly like a g1 character. But rather to have enough similarities to homage the figure in their original colours. And a green repaint of Double Evil (and you know FH will get the shade of green perfect) scratches that itch for me.

Bot mode not so much though. Not without extensive chest remolding.
Magna Jet Convoy
Combined vehicle mode (interstellar space-jet) that – if painted green – might make a passable Skyquake for a 'convention exclusive.

The upgrade kit can still be purchased at RoboToyBase. I've purchased from them many times and can vouch for them.

That packaging is just hot. Still the best large scale Overlord out there.

Picked him up from TCP recently. What a beast. Sturdy, easy to transform, looks imposing and malicious. Love it.View attachment 30298353 View attachment 30298354 View attachment 30298355 View attachment 30298356

You can try messaging FansHobby on Facebook, I think. Kind of a long shot, but you never know.

It is a hard find now. No stock everywhere, technically everywhere/

I bought the original with stickers applied and hated the look. Often the stickers covered up really nice tampos (like on the chest). So, if it means anything to you, I do not think you are missing out on much. I ended up tossing my stickers in a waste basket.

I know I’m very late but I just picked up this guy and I am trying to find the add-on kit.
don’t see any on eBay at the moment, anyone know where I might be able to pick up a set for him.
any help is appreciated

Yeah I consider myself lucky in that I get 4 detolfs and a half a bookcase but the detolfs are be replaced by 2 shelving units. Just need the free time to move out of the detolfs, assemble the new shelves in their place and then move the collection in
Mentalic
Lucky you, the boss gives me exactly one bookshelf to put my Transformers on and its boat shaped (so skinnier at the top). Its not a display shelf, so not super tall either. But, hey, I can make Double Evil work.
Slimaximus
He is one of the main reasons I'm moving away from detolfs to shelving with custom heights. He is freaking so big he wants an entire detolf shelf to himself
Mentalic
I have smaller shelves so I had to put him in a sort of half kneel. Stll looks great (and increases stability).
