'''Overload''' gazed too long into the abyss.  His desire to be the best battlefield tactician led to an obsessive interest in understanding how [[Decepticon]]s think.  His superiors decided this was unhealthy.  (Given [[Starscream (G1)|how most Decepticons think]], they probably decided it was unhealthy for ''themselves.'')  Overload was thusly reassigned to the transport division.<ref>''[[More Than Meets The Eye]]'' #4</ref>

* '''Overload''' (Micromaster Transport, 1989)
**''Accessories'': Trailer/jet

: Overload transforms into a blue semi cab pulling a grey and red [[car carrier trailer]]. Overall, the colour scheme is quite similar to that of the ''[[Diaclone]]'' Powered Convoy toy that was later [[redeco]]ed into ''Generation 1'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]]. The ramp/gate at the back of the trailer folds down, allowing one to transport up to two smaller Micromasters inside, and two more on the top deck. The trailer unfolds into a jet which Overload can ride in the back of.
