[[Image:Overcharge-card.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Second-most [[Shothole|unfortunately-named exclusive]] ever... and there's a chance it was ''intentional''.]]<br />
The '''Overcharges''' are the latest model of [[Quintesson]] mass-produced warrior-drone (aka "[[Terrorbot|Terrorbots]]"), using technologies gleaned from the [[Decepticon|Decepticons]]. Produced in countless numbers and sold to whatever buyers can cough up the credits, Overcharges are strong, fast, powerful, and in the wrong hands, can overrun worlds.<br />

===Generation 1===<br />
*'''Overcharge''' (Triple Changer Terrorbot, 2005)<br />
**''Japanese ID number'': '''72'''<br />
**''Accessories'': "Heat rifle", "null gladius" sword, 3 missiles<br />
<br />
: An [[E-Hobby|e-Hobby]] exclusive [[Redeco|redeco]] of the [[Blitzwing (G1)#Toys|Blitzwing toy]], Overcharge transforms from robot mode to a Type 74 tank or a MiG-25 fighter jet. In jet mode, it features two spring-loaded [[Missile|missile]] launchers, one within each wing assembly.<br />
<br />
: Overcharge came with an extra decal sheet with multiple faction logos (including several totally new ones) so it could be assigned to different armies: [[Autobot]], [[Decepticon]], [[Quintesson]]/Terrorbot, "Ancient", [[Earth Defense Command|EDC]], and "[[Herald of Unicron|Unicron Herald]]" (using the [[Blendtron]] sigil).<br />

==Notes==<br />
* While the toy's color scheme is based on the mold's original pre-''Transformers'' ''[[Diaclone]]'' colors, the "character" appears to be based on the mass of off-color Blitzwing-model tanks seen in the opening to the third season of the Generation 1 cartoon.<br />
<br />
* Overcharges, it is noted, are based on technology from the Decepticons, since the Quintessons' original robots did not transform, only developing the skill after freeing themselves from slavery. The use of the Blitzwing mold for this Quintesson creation seems to harken back to ''[[The Transformers (cartoon)|The Transformers]]'' cartoon series Season 3 episode "[[Five Faces of Darkness, Part 3]]", in which Blitzwing is the only Transformer to recognize the Quintessons, albeit in a vague, uncertain way. This seems to suggest a connection between Blitzwing and the Overcharges, but what that connection could ''be'' is pure speculation.<br />
<br />
* Considering that the toy is an e-Hobby exclusive, "Overcharge" is considered in the fandom to be a very apt name.<br />
