This may be the only time you ever see me in robot mode!

Overload sometimes combines with his fellow Constructicons to form Devastator. His earth form is a modified red Komatsu HD465-7 articulated dump truck. And no, he's not Bonecrusher.

Fiction

Revenge of the Fallen movie

During the climactic battle in Egypt between the Autobots, their human allies and The Fallen's Decepticons, Overload arrived in a quarry with the other Constructicons before merging into Devastator to attack former Sector Seven agent Seymour Simmons, Leo Spitz, Skids and Mudflap. Later, as Devastator smashed away at the Great Pyramid of Giza after shrugging off Skids and Mudflap, Simmons called upon the United States Navy to fire upon the giant Decepticon. The U.S.S. Kidd fired her experimental railgun, smashing one of his arms to pieces and destroying Devastator. Revenge of the Fallen

Notes

• Like several recent Japanese Transformers toys, TakaraTomy has incorporated Overload's faction with his name in an effort to strengthen his trademark. Hasbro, however, has not had such problems to date with the name Overload in their markets.
• Being the seventh Constructicon, Overload technically hasn't got a G1 counterpart, but he is a (albeit articulated) dump truck that forms Devastator's lower torso.
• One of Ben Procter's concept art studies for Overload's robot mode is a monstrous - and awesome - four-armed quadruped with claws and hooks up the ying-yang. [1]
