Overload (Transformers)

Overload is a name of several fictional characters in the Transformers series.

Generation 1

The original Overload was an Autobot Micromaster who turned into a truck, with a trailer that could convert into a battle vehicle.

Unicron Trilogy

In this series, Overload is initially depicted as an Autobot with a Mini-Con Headmaster who can combine with Optimus Prime to serve as his shoulder cannons. In Japan he was a version of Ultra Magnus.

Comics

"Ask Vector Prime" later explored Overload's origins, revealing that his 2009 toy form was actually his original appearance. After becoming addicted to Powerlinking with Mini-Cons, Overload ended up on a self-destructive path that eventually led him to seek help on Nebulos. With his Spark fading, Overload was combined via the Headmaster process with Rollout, a Mini-Con previously addicted to Nucleon, and the pair were later enhanced by Rhinox. However, Nemesis Prime forced Overload to deploy before he was completed by Rhinox, and Rhinox's subsequent capture by Unicron meant that the project was never finished. However, Overload eventually found his original design and was reformatted back into this form, but with his memories of the past lost until he made his way back to Nebulos and found Hi-Q, one of the doctors who had originally worked on him.
