RID15-toy OverloadDeployer
Part of the second assortment of Deployers, Overload transforms into a Cybertronian tank. In this mode, the front clamp between his treads can be loaded with any Cyclone-style Mini-Con —such as his pack-in partner Backtrack— and launched by pushing the trigger on Overoad's gunbarrel. (You can wedge (ha) Torpedo-style Mini-Cons into this launcher, but they don't hold very well.) This launcher will not work if the small "safety" on his tank mode underside is not pushed in, either by setting him on a flat surface or by doing so manually. This launcher is also inoperable in robot mode, though at least you can still store a Cyclone in it. His tank barrel has tabs to mount Backtrack's blaster accessories.
His shoulders have an undocumented feature, small tabs that allow you to attach Mini-Cons to them via the armor-sprue attachment points. Obviously Cyclones fit best, but Torpedos can attach as well, albeit slightly awkwardly. Buzzsaws have ridges that prevent them from attaching securely, however.
Overload also has a battle mask, which is both intended to cover his face in vehicle mode and also homage the rectangle-eye of the illusionary Decepticon warrior from "Out of Focus".
His Robots in Disguise mobile game scan-badge is located on his right forearm, impossible to scan while still in-box.
The Adventure release of Overload features extensive paint details to resemble his appearances in the cartoon. He also features a scan-badge, which was compatible to the Transformers Chronicle app.
