After about a month I FINALLY got a configuration to have him on all fours and he won’t fall apart and his head isn’t looking at the ground.

Where did you get your upgrade kit from? BBTS still hasn't gotten them in

The joints mentioned in the following posts are relatively prone to breaking depending on how much you use them/transform the figure. The ratchet tooth is designed to rely on plastic flex for movement as opposed to using a spring to allow for the tooth to properly retract, so in the long term it’s something of an inevitability. You can do a few things to lessen the likelihood of it happening and there’s some stuff to be done after it breaks to make it work again but it’s definitely an issue.

The ratchet tooth broke on one side on my overload but I was able to fix it with a piece of plastic from a junker 09 leader prime and some bondic liquid plastic

I’m so pissed off right now. I contacted hasbro and they don’t have anymore. I contacted big bad toy store and hasbro pulse and they said they don’t know when it’ll be back in stock. eBay prices are through the roof. The only place that sells him is bbts, but you have to buy it with scavenger. If they have them together, they should be able to sell them individually.

In fairness to BBTS… You're citing the exact problem they have. If you buy only Overload, they'll be stuck with all of those extra Scavengers. You can only imagine how many of him they have sitting in that warehouse. Between POLs sitting there, waiting to ship, to the singles they have, to the case assortments before, to this one now… Yeah, I wouldn't sell them except in a case, either.

Hasbro's fully to blame for this one. They need to start doing solid cases of a figure (more specifically Leader Class) so stuff like this doesn't happen, especially when it's part of a set/series such as SS Devastator.

I was waiting for a sale to buy the boxset on Amazon, but it looks like they don't have anymore, only 3rd party sellers with ridiculous prices. That sucks cause I still need an extra Longhaul to display in robot mode, and also the yellow Skipjack leg.

Has anyone found overload in stores? I went on a trip to 5 different places nearby and there weren’t any studio series figures. (Btw I’m not going to transform my next overload. He’ll stay in torso mode.)

The only Constructicons I’ve seen lately are 6 Scrappers and a Scavenger, the rest of the gang have vanished from shelves, doubtful we’ll ever see them again

I tried unscrewing the three screws to see what’s up inside (the two obvious ones and the one in the red whole) and it still won’t budge.

I mean it never hurts to have a backup just in case. It’s not like its value will drop anytime soon anyway so one way or another it’s a worthwhile investment.

There are actually 4 screws, here’s a pic from when I disassembled mine.

This is correct. Four screws. I've already made the hip ratchet upgrades, but that'll be coming soon. Overload's getting an overhaul.
