:''Overkill is a [[Decepticon]] [[Decepticon Mini-Cassette|Mini-Cassette]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''

[[Image:Overkill.jpg|right|250px|thumb|"When we take over Cybertron, I'm gonna have a whole harem of girl-bots! Blue ones, red ones..."]]

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 disadvantage, such as when he gets so caught up in showing off that he becomes distracted in combat. And sometimes it just makes him look 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 dinosaur 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 audiotape-sized dino. Awwww!

===Cartoon continuity===
====Madman ''The Transformers'' comic====
[[Image:Madman comic Soundwave ejects tapes.jpg|left|200px|thumb|]]
In the year 2001, Overkill, along with [[Slugfest (G1)|Slugfest]], [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]], [[Beastbox (G1)|Beastbox]], and [[Squawktalk]], were dispatched by [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] to locate the [[Matrix of Leadership]], which [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] had buried somewhere at the construction site of [[Autobot City]], prior to the mass Autobot evacuation of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Slugfest had to explain what "excavation" was to the dull witted Beastbox, though [[Squawkbox]] ended up finding the Matrix. However, Slugfest and Squawktalk were then run over by [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]]. {{storylink|The Transformers (Madman)|The Transformers}}

[[Image:CallPrimitivesOverkillSlugfest1.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Oh so crucial to the plot.]]
In 2006, during a battle on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|Moon]], Overkill was one of the many "primitive" Transformers who answered the call put forth by [[Oracle (G1)|Primacron's assistant]] in response to the threat posed by [[Tornedron]]. He was not seen again afterward. {{storylink|Call of the Primitives}}

====''The Headmasters'' comic====
[[Image:OverkillSlugfestDanielManga01.jpg|thumb|200px|left|]]

After the Decepticons abandoned Earth, [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundblaster]] remained behind with his cassettes. He jumped the Witwicky family out of nowhere, and had Overkill and [[Slugfest (G1)|Slugfest]] keep them hostage while he taunted their protector, [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]]. While his back was turned, though, Overkill and Slugfest were overwhelmed and defeated by [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]].

===''G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers''===
As part of [[Serpentor|Serpent O.R.]]'s Decepticon forces, Overkill attempted to prevent a group of Autobots and [[G.I. Joe (team)|Joes]] from escaping Decepticon headquarters. While trying to devour [[Hawk (G.I. Joe)|Hawk]], he bragged about his future girl-bot harem and let slip that Serpent O.R. had captured [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], only to be violently blinded by [[Snake-Eyes]]. Despite his claims that he didn't need his eyes anyway, Overkill fell to the ground unconscious. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 5|The Art of War #5}}

===Custom Class bio===
In a gambit to counter a string of humiliating defeats by Grimlock, Overkill's leader had this new body built for Overkill. Overkill's chronic failure to grow larger in robot mode had become a permanent condition, sidelining him from the battlefield. This new body carries an armored interface housing in its chest allowing Overkill to be inserted in cassette mode, effectively overcoming his disability.<ref>This information is summarized from the [[BotCon 2007]] Custom Class booklet.</ref>

===Special Edition bio===
Overkill reinstalled his [[Circuits#Brain_circuits|cerebro-circuitry]] into a larger, more dangerous body. Doing so released him from his status as a partner and slave to Soundwave. He is now free to indulge in his destructive whims.

{{note|Curiously, despite his bio describing him as larger and more dangerous, his [[Tech Spec]]s remain unchanged from his mini-cassette form. His Fireblast even lost half a point.}}

===Marvel comics continuity===
====''Classics''====

After the war officially ended on [[Klo]], Overkill was one of the handful of [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s Decepticons who scattered to the far corners of the universe. He, [[Drag Strip (G1)|Drag Strip]], and [[Acid Storm (G1)|Acid Storm]] were waiting on a dusty planet when [[Springer (G1)|Springer]]'s rogue team of Autobots attempted to hunt them down. {{storylink|At Fight's End}}

Cody Burns

{{disambig3|Burns}}
:''Cody Burns is a [[human]] from the ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots (franchise)|Rescue Bots]]'' portion of the [[Aligned continuity family]].''
[[Image:Cody Burns profile.jpg|thumb|right|250px|And the fandom worried.]]
'''Cody Burns''' is the youngest of the Burns siblings. Despite still being in school, he's keen to take up the family mantle of becoming a rescue worker and driving an emergency vehicle around [[Griffin Rock]]. Now that he's discovered that the rescue vehicles can drive themselves and his dad, [[Charlie Burns|Chief Charlie Burns]], has relented and let him join the team, maybe he'll get that chance.

==Fiction==
===''Rescue Bots'' pack-in storybooks===
{{charstubfiction}}
{{storylink|Prime Alert}}

===''Rescue Bots'' cartoon===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Elán Garfias]] (English)

Cody once borrowed [[Doc Greene]]'s [[Fusion powered water gun|fusion powered water gun]]. It did not end well, though at least the town was a lot cleaner afterwards. {{storylink|Four Bots and a Baby}}

[[Image:FamilyOfHeroes Cody Burns.jpg|thumb|left|220px]]
Cody was cycling to school when Chief Burns stopped by to remind him to attend the dedication ceremony for the new emergency vehicles that afternoon. Cody went along, meeting his friend [[Frankie Greene]] there, but his suspicions were aroused when one of the new rescue robots moved on its own. He followed his family and their new robots to a fire at the [[Griffin Rock Natural History Museum|museum]], and became even more suspicious when [[Heatwave (RB)|the fire engine]] saved his dad and brother [[Graham Burns|Graham]] from a falling dinosaur head. That night, he caught the four robots talking and discovered that they were, in fact, [[Autobot]]s from a distant world. He attempted to help them better act like Earth robots, taking them through one of the tunnels under the island. When they encountered a rogue robot ''Tyrannosaurus rex'', Cody contacted Chief Burns, only to find his father already knew the Autobots were aliens. After he helped stop the ''T. rex'' by consulting Frankie, Cody was welcomed onto the team. {{storylink|Family of Heroes}}

Cody continued to try and help the Autobots to work together with his siblings, even luring [[Kade Burns|Kade]], [[Dani Burns|Dani]] and Graham down to the bunker beneath the fire station for a bonding session. During a subsequent disaster with a volcano spewing lava onto the island, Cody was able to advise his family by radio and help them cooperate with the Rescue Bots. By the time the adventure was over, they even worked together to save Cody from the lava. {{storylink|Under Pressure}} When Dani attached a rescue claw to [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] and tempers started flaring in the team, Cody tried to ameliorate relations, only to be dismissed by both his siblings and the Rescue Bots. Despite this he went along with Dani and Blades as they went on patrol and was endangered when Blades was struck by lightning. {{storylink|Hotshots}}

After Heatwave nearly gave away the game, Cody gave the Rescue Bots a refresher course on behaving like robots. He went to the [[Lobster and Technology Festival]] with Frankie, and when the festival was attacked by flying lobsters, he dubbed them [[flobster]]s. He coordinated the Rescue Bot response to the threat and even helped rescue Frankie from a swarm of them. It was his idea to scare them using the giant lobster balloons that helped neutralize the flobster threat. {{storylink|Flobsters on Parade}} Cody subjected the Rescue Bots to a screening of ''[[The Natives of Tatui]]''. When the power went out during an alien invasion panic, Cody used the tunnels to reach the [[Griffin Rock power plant|power plant]], and helped his family cover for the Rescue Bots when their secret was in danger of being exposed. {{storylink|The Alien Invasion of Griffin Rock}}

[[Image:CodyOnPatrol powering up.jpg|thumb|right|350px]]
After a cat rescue, Cody visited [[Griffin Rock Zoo|the zoo]] as part of [[Earth Day]] celebrations. Unfortunately his photos of the animals and earlier talk of getting a pet resulted in Boulder letting loose a lion and some lemurs. Cody's thought up a way to get the lemurs back into their enclosure. {{storylink|Walk on the Wild Side}} Finding an old go-kart, Cody used it to save [[Harrison (RB)|Mr Harrison]] and subsequently rebuilt it into [[Rolling Thunder]]. Unfortunate its engine was still inadequate, so Cody borrowed nanites from Doc Greene's lab to soup it up. The nanites soon became out of control, and after being menaced by the [[Scrapmaster]], and having [[Boulder]] taken over by them, Cody came up with a plan to stop them using the power plant that ultimately succeeded. {{storylink|Cody on Patrol}}

In an attempt to convince Doc Greene that he was responsible enough to test-drive the [[Turbo Cycle (RB)|Turbo Cycle]], Cody volunteered to look after the [[Robo-Baby]] and roped the Rescue Bots into helping him. When the baby escaped from the fire station in the middle of an emergency, Cody tracked it down to the wind farm, where he and the Rescue Bots retrieved it from a windmill. Doc Greene was impressed enough with the data collected to allow Cody to be the Turbo Cycle tester. {{storylink|Four Bots and a Baby}} During a heatwave, Cody and Frankie sold lemonade from a stand. Boulder gave Cody the idea of trying to create a snowstorm, so he got Doc Greene to set up a weather machine in the town square. Their fun came to a halt when the machine went out of control, and Cody was under threat while sheltering in city hall, as the roof almost collapsed under the weight of the snow. After a rescue from the rest of the team, Cody joined them in helping Frankie off her chunk of ice in the river. {{storylink|Christmas in July}}

Unlike the rest of his siblings, Cody was happy to go on the annual family fishing trip, but when they encountered a [[shark submarine|giant mechanical shark]], Cody was left on the pier to monitor things from afar. {{storylink|Deep Trouble}} When Cody discovered that the Greenes had reprogrammed the [[Trex|dinosaur from the museum]] as a butler, he wanted one too. He seemed less enthusiastic when it passed on a virus to the town's mainframe, and he had to help the rest of the team attend emergencies caused by out-of-control technology. His idea to stop Trex by giving it voice commands saved the dinosaur from being destroyed though. {{storylink|Return of the Dinobot}} His journey to school was cut short when [[Blades (RB)|his ride]] had to attend an emergency. The unexpected arrival of [[Morocco|Doctor Morocco]] and his [[MorBot]] resulted in the Rescue Bots being stood down, and Cody had to try and raise their spirits by relating the story of [[John Henry]]. A series of incidents got Cody suspicious of Morocco's motives. {{storylink|The Other Doctor}} When the little evidence he and Frankie had scrounged up was dismissed, he got Dani to take him up in Blades to try to spy on Morocco, and they were almost taken out by the MorBot. Undaunted, he and Frankie sneaked into the lab to access the computer. They were found by Morocco, but managed to escape to the doctor's airship, on which they found the proof they needed. Instructed by Dani, Cody managed to land the airship and the Rescue Bots trashed the pursuing MorBot. {{storylink|The Reign of Morocco}}

Cody visited the [[Hall of Inspiration]] with Graham and Boulder, and watched Doc Greene demonstrate the [[Minimizer]]. When there was a break-in at the Hall that night, the internal cameras were down and Cody was unable to see the device being used on Heatwave, Blades and Boulder. He only realized what had happened when Chase showed him a picture of the weapon, and subsequently got Doc Greene to fix the damaged Minimizer, so he could use it to return the three Rescue Bots to their normal size. {{storylink|Small Blessings}} After the rescue of [[Wild|Captain Wild]], Cody found a plate with an intriguing dragon design. With the help of Graham, Doc Greene and the Bots, he tracked down information on [[Anna Baranova|Professor Anna Baranova]] and her attempt to investigate the [[Griffin Rock Triangle]]. This culminated in him joining a mission to the Triangle itself, where they found Baranova still living in the ''[[Midgard]]'', and Cody talked her into completing her original plan to seal the methane vent causing the ship disappearances. {{storylink|The Griffin Rock Triangle}}

Chief Burns invited Cody along to do a security check on [[Griffin Crest]]. After a brief run-in with a bear, Cody made a brief garbled phone call back to base which resulted in the Rescue Bots racing to the crest. Cody and his dad were unable to render any assistance when the bots were immobilized by the [[Electromagnetic pulse|EM field]], but after the crisis was over, they continued with their camping. {{storylink|Rules and Regulations}}

{{spoiler|The Lost Bell|July 7, 2012}}
Cody's [[Lad Pioneer]] practice was interrupted by a storm hitting the town, during which he and the Rescue Bots were swept out to sea. They washed up on an uninhabited island, where Cody used his Lad Pioneer skills to survive, and they stumbled on the old pirate ship, the ''[[Oaken Crow]]''. They were thus able to return to Griffin Rock with the [[Settlers' Bell]], which had been stolen by pirates in the nineteenth century. {{storylink|The Lost Bell}}
