Overall, the colour scheme is quite similar to that of the Diaclone Powered Convoy toy that was later redecoed into Generation 1 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.
- Overload transforms with a basic similarity to both Generation 1 Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus' truck cabs, and thus ends up with a robot mode somewhat similar looking to the two larger Autobots. The trailer itself unfolds into a jet which Overload can ride in the back of.
