So Overlord is Rampage from Beast Wars, a monster created only to kill and is more beast than cybertrions and is hard to or impossible to kill
a force of nature type like villian ❤

Yeah, it’s a pretty spot on comparison especially with the IDW version!

[@bruzzunathtuch]

Not quite.
Rampage was proved to have a good heart deep down
Not to mention Rampage isn't not at fault for the way he is: He was created by the MAXIMALS as a weapon, he was tortured time and time again in repeated experiments to test his indistructable spark. His life is pain, and yet he still had a tiny bit of goodness in him, after Transmutate's death, That goodness in him died: He lost the person who he related to the most.
Overlord Is basically Dio Brando. A sadistic tyrant bent on domination and power, and a thirst for blood.

Love me some compact video essays about my favorite characters

[@Caleb-zs8is]

How come nobody has made a video talking about bluestreak? Honestly he might be the most forgotten g1 character, and it makes me sad because he's my favorite.

I prefer the Japanesse Overlord, it was not only the first half human half cybertronian leader of the Decepcticons, he was a brillaint strategist, a brillaint scientist that put the Autobots against the rods but the truth is that Giga and Mega trully believe that they were doing the right thing, because in their ideal when the Autobots were defeat and the humans and Earth were cyberformed, an utopia will finally ocurred, and when they realize their mistake they try to change their actions, while the IDW version is just another psycho

[@HandsomeComics]

The Super God Masterforce version is also my preferred version and actually gives Overlord a story instead of just portraying him as a monster. As much as I enjoy IDW for all it did, I do feel some of the characters lack that depth that over incarnations were given

@@HandsomeComics Well the original ones tend to be the betters, but is because Masterforce exceed expectations
