Notes
[edit]- Overkill is described as having "stubby arms", which, combined with the fact that he appears to have had a close relationship with Soundwave, makes it pretty clear that this Overkill is directly based on his Generation 1 namesake.
- Overkill was in an early draft of The Reign of Starscream, but was dropped at Hasbro's request.[1]
