The Overcharges are a notable type.

Toys

The Transformers

• Scorponok (Headmaster, 1987)
  • Takara ID number: D-93
  • Accessories: 2 guns

The Guardminders were repurposed from Fasttrack.

Available only with the large Headmaster Decepticon city Scorponok, The Transformers Fasttrack transforms into a six-wheeled assault buggy. His axles were designed for quick rolling down the main ramp of Scorponok's city mode. His two guns can be either hand-held or shoulder mounted.

Collector's Edition

• Overcharge (2005)
  • ID number: 72
  • Accessories: "Heat rifle", "null gladius" sword, 3 missiles

An e-HOBBY exclusive redeco of the Blitzwing toy, Overcharge transforms from robot mode to a Mitsubishi Type 74 tank or a MiG-25 fighter jet. In jet mode, it features two spring-loaded missile launchers, one within each wing assembly.

Overcharge came with an extra decal sheet with multiple faction logos (including several totally new ones) so it could be assigned to different armies: Autobot, Decepticon, Quintesson/Terrorbot, "Ancient", EDC, and "Unicron Herald" (using the Blentron sigil).

Galaxy Force

• Noisemaze Ryōsan Gata Version (DVD pack-in, 2006-06-21)
  • Accessories: Left & right wing-swords, Planet X Cyber Key

Available only with the thirteenth, final volume of the Galaxy Force DVD series in Japan, the Ryōsan Gata Version is a redeco of Deluxe Class Sideways/Noisemaze. It transforms into an alien spacefighter with Cyber Key-activated pop-out blades and faction-sigil-switching built into its battle shield. His wings can also detach from his ankles and be used as blades, with both pegging into either his hands, either with one blade in each hand, or with both blades pegging into the top and bottom of a single hand, forming a double-bladed weapon. The toy comes with a Planet X-style Cyber Key, which inexplicably has Sideways' Hasbro key code stamped on the back. The toy uses the Hasbro mold with the trimmed horns rather than the Takara mold.

Despite being a "mass numbers" character in the fiction like the Scrapmetal, the Noisemaze Ryōsan Gata Version's price due to being packaged with a DVD (Amazon Japan listed it at 7644 yen, roughly $66 USD at the time of release before shipping) makes it largely unfeasible for army-building.

Generations Selects

• Abominus (April 17, 2021)
  • Hasbro ID number: TT-GS05
  • Accessories: Individual Terrorcon weapons, Gestalt hands, Gestalt feet, Terrorbreaster

Generations Selects Abominus is a redeco of Power of the Primes Abominus with a couple of new accessories. As you might expect, this version of Abominus features a much more cartoon-accurate coloration: the head is purple with a white face, Abominus' upper legs (formed from the backs of Hun-Gurrr's arms) are grayish-white as opposed to dark gray, stickers adorning Hun-Gurrr from the Power of the Primes release are gone, and the Terrorcon limbs have more saturated plastic colors. TakaraTomy also went the extra mile to create the hilariously named Terrorbreaster piece which appears to fit on Abominus' chest, making it more closely resemble the animation model. Abominus also features new foot and hand pieces cast in uniform magenta, which are mostly recolored from TakaraTomy's Selects Seacons, with the exception of the new detachable toe pieces and the new small cannons for Hun-Gurrr that double as heel stabilizers for Abominus. Unfortunately, the dragon-head knees are still absent.

Additionally, Abominus has a new rifle that is also recolored from TakaraTomy's Selects Turtler and decked out with a plethora of 5 mm ports, allowing for the smaller Terrorcons' guns to be attached to it and form a slightly bigger weapon.

Originally slated for release on March 27, Abominus's release was pushed back to April 17.

Notes

• The e-HOBBY Overcharge drone is listed as a "Terrorbot" on the packaging. However, the Quintessons sell the drones to anyone who will pay. A sticker sheet is included so the buyer can assign their Overcharge to different factions. One of those factions is "Quintesson/Terrorbot" indicating that the Overcharge drones might only be considered "Terrorbots" when they are used by the Quintessons themselves.
