Overkill (G1)

63.3.17.1: Yay for real bios.

:''Overkill is a [[Decepticon]] in the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].

As you might guess from the name, '''Overkill''' is all about excess. Sometimes this works to his advantage, such as when his endless tirades and theatrics distract his foes in combat. Sometimes excess works to his dissadvantage, such as when he gets so cought up in showing off that he becomes distracted in combat. And sometimes it just makes him looks silly, swinging and blasting at a fallen foe long after the fight has ended.

Though he talks a better game than he fights, Overkill's Tyranosaur mode is strong enough to be a decent threat... except when the circuits that control his size-change from cassette to dinosaur malfunction (as they are wont to do) and he finds himself stuck as an audio tape sized Tyranosaur. Oops.

==Fiction==
===Animated continuity===
:''Voice actor'': N/A

Overkill was one of the many "primitive" Transformers who answered the call put forth by [[Oracle (G1)|Primcron's assistant]] in response to the threat posed by [[Tornedron]]. {{storylink|Call of the Primitives}}

''Overkill is seen ejecting from [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave's]] chest in response to the call, and then promptly disappears, as does [[Slugfest]]. Assuming the two of them boarded [[Trypticon]] with the group, it is possible that they simply stayed inside of him for the remainder of the episode.''

===Devil's Due ''G.I. Joe vs the Transformers'' comics continuity===
As part of [[Serpent O.R.]]'s Decepticon forces, Overkill attampted to prevent [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and a group of [[G.I. Joe|Joes]] from escaping Decepticon headquarters. While trying to devour [[Hawk (G.I. Joe)|Hawk]] (and bragging about his future girl-bot harem), Overkill was violently blinded by [[Snake-Eyes]] and incapacitated. {{storylink|The Art of War, Part 5}}

==Toys==
*'''Slugfest and Overkill''' (1987)
Overkill was only available with his partner, [[Slugfest]], and transforms from a blue and white microcassette into a robotic Tyrannosaurus (according to his tech specs; however, the actual toy more resembles a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceratosaur ceratosaur]). He came with two "motion missile" weapons which attach to his robot mode.
