- Overcharge is a redeco of Classics Strongarm, transforming into a taxi based on a 2006 Dodge Charger (but with the proportions messed up).

Notes
- Given his altmode (a taxi), the name "Overcharge" is remarkably apt.
- Overcharge's mold is the only Mini-Con mold with Powerlinx sockets that are accessible only in robot mode by design: the sockets on the outside of his lower legs, which end up folded against his thighs inside his car mode. However, he still has other sockets that remain accessible in both modes.
