Description
An Autobot powerhouse. On his own, he's strong, massive, and covered with guns and artillery. Overload was an Autobot who developed an addiction to Powerlinxing, to the point where he would forcibly merge with Mini-Cons who didn't want to join with him. Realizing that his addiction had turned self-destructive, he went into voluntary exile until he could overcome his problem. By the time that he sought refuge on Nebulon, his Spark had begun a fatal diminishment as a result of withdrawal from the Powerlinx process. Fortunately, the Nebulan doctors Hi-Q and Arcana were treating another Cybertronian patient: Rollout, who had lost the ability to transform as a result of nucleon. The two doctors consulted the archives and discovered an ancient medical technique known as the Headmaster process, which could save both lives with a single operation. The new composite being would survive, but their mind and body could not accommodate two sparks simultaneously. Seeking a Cybertronian physician, they found Rhinox, who brought them back to Cybertron and completely rebuilt them using the same techniques he had used when refitting Jetfire. The new Overload was deployed before he was completed to help Optimus Prime defeat an evil clone of himself. Rhinox was killed in the battle against Unicron, and thus could never complete his upgrade. For many years, Overload never truly understood the mystery of his origins, until he discovered his original schematics. After upgrading himself again, he left Cybertron in search of clues. He eventually discovered Hi-Q, solving the mystery.
