'''Overload''' sometimes combines with his fellow [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]] to form [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]]. His earth form is a modified red Komatsu HD465-7 articulated dump truck. And no, he's not [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]].

During the climactic battle in [[Egypt]] between the Autobots, their human allies and [[The Fallen]]'s Decepticons, Overload arrived in a quarry with the other Constructicons before merging into Devastator to attack former [[Sector Seven]] agent [[Seymour Simmons]], [[Leo Spitz]], [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]]. Later, as Devastator smashed away at the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]] after shrugging off Skids and Mudflap, Simmons called upon the [[United States Navy]] to fire upon the giant Decepticon. The [[United States Navy#U.S.S. Kidd (DDG-100)|U.S.S. ''Kidd'']] fired her experimental [[Wikipedia:Railgun|railgun]], smashing one of his arms to pieces and destroying Devastator. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

==Notes==
[[image:Constructicons ROTF adaptation 3.jpg|thumb|right|400px|]]

* Like several recent Japanese ''Transformers'' toys, [[TakaraTomy]] has incorporated Overload's faction with his name in an effort to strengthen his [[trademark]]. Hasbro, however, has not had such problems to date with the name [[Overload (disambiguation)|Overload]] in their markets.

* Being the seventh Constructicon, Overload technically hasn't got a G1 counterpart, but he is a (albeit articulated) [[Long Haul (G1)|dump truck that forms Devastator's lower torso]].

* One of [[Ben Procter]]'s concept art studies for Overload's robot mode is a monstrous - and awesome - four-armed quadruped with claws and hooks up the ying-yang. <ref>[http://conceptartworld.com/?p=2772 Ben Procter's concepts for ''Revenge of the Fallen'']</ref>

* His robot mode is shown —obscured, but it's there— in the [[Revenge of the Fallen Movie Adaptation|Movie Adaptation]].
