Now making its way across the web is an image of the previously-reviewed Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection Voyager Override, showing the figure in its box and giving us our first look at the line’s packaging. It’s looking pretty slick and reveals that the figures will be packaged in alt mode. Additionally it shows off her packaging art, and in a nice touch the Velocitron logo also makes an appearance.
Hopefully Hasbro will give us the official reveal for the line sooner rather than later.
Check it out and let us know what you think on the boards!

do you guys have paint chipping problems with this figure mine was good but every time i transformer him more white spots on chest red paint
Ractonite
They totally could've. They also could've used a pin the same width as the piece it's inside with a slightly larger plastic ring inside. Doing it that way would've prevented any possible scratches
Astrotanker
Couldn't they have used a smaller pin

Don't really like the color of black. Maybe it's just mine, but it's clearly brown.
Ractonite
I looked for the pin, which is the reason for the damage, in the instructions and it's not even rendered. Doing the transformation exactly as the instructions say still damages the figure.
Astrotanker
i actually sort of damaged my cosmos too because of how his shoulders are designed
Ractonite
Yup
Astrotanker
Did you scratch yours too ?
Ractonite
The pin in the side of the torso is just plain bad engineering. Even if you do it correctly, there is barely any clearance and it will still get chewed up. A normal clip on peg like ER prowl's wheels with a pin driven through it for stability would've worked just fine with no scratching done.

Oh Hasbro! Mach 5 from Blurr please!
Wh33ls
Ah, gotcha. Thank you for the pic.

Just got mine a few days ago.
So far so good. Very happy with her. Though, I'm hoping for some sort of upgrade kit to fill in the sides of the vehicle better.
On my shelf she is Celeritas Prime, leader of Velocitron.
Thinking of doing a custom for her pre-prime form out of a Minerva or Elita One which would be named Speedracer.
Astrotanker
It's very minor but this stupid pin will scrape the white part because there's barely any clearance and ur supposed to do it in a specific way which I guess is my fault but still kind of sucks
Wh33ls
Oh no! Please take a pic showing what and where, so that I can look out for that when I get mine, please?

Has anyone else damaged override during the slider part of her transformation because of the pin
SPLIT LIP
Had she been a Hot Rod retool she would’ve stunk, though. This monkey paw scenario we got isn’t ideal but I’ll take it.

Got Nitro Convoy today, and he is awesome! Nice and sturdy and the transformation isn’t annoying. So much better than the original, though the bar wasn’t set very high.
(Yes, I know it’s called Override, but Galaxy Force is how I originally saw this show to the point that I couldn’t even stomach the Cybertron version)
SecretWyvern
Yeah, had she been a Hot Rod retool like originally intended she definitely would've filled out the price point more, but in this case think it's a worthy sacrifice to get her done well, though I'd prefer if the other leaders fill out their pricing a bit more
Dirge121
I wish she had more tilt on both axis of her ankles and more range on her elbows. Otherwise she’s pretty solid but definitely doesn’t feel like she justifies the voyager pricepoint in the same way Hot Rod did. Even something like a trophy with a 5mm peg so it could be held by figures would have gone a long way.
SecretWyvern
Got Override, she's fun though definitely doesn't really fill out the full voyager price, but given she's a whole new mold made from the budget for a hot rod retool it's definitely something I can deal with, though I wish the ankle tilt had more range and her chin strap wasn't so thick, but those are mostly nitpicking. If I were to have a genuine complaint, it's that her backpack gun is obnoxious to pull out of her and I really wish they painted her feet and manage to give her her key. But overall excited for more Cybertron updates, can't wait to get Metroplex and praying to the dark gods for a new Optimus cause GUOP is just a G1 Optimus in Cybertron cosplay
