Humorously, this transformation leaves the back of his head exposed in combined mode, right in the middle of Devastator's stomach. When in combined mode, the neck armor included with Overload snaps onto Mixmaster's top barrel.		:Overload can be combined with the rest of the ''Studio Series'' [[Constructicon (ROTF)#Studio Series\|Constructicons]] to form [[Devastator (ROTF)#Studio Series\|Devastator]], becoming the giant's chest, lower torso, thighs and waist.
