Override is the best racer on Velocitron, and as such is the leader of the planet. She seemingly embodies the culture itself; she is quick-witted, decisive, self-sure and always looking for a challenge. This has its upsides and downsides: while she's brave and determined with a never-give-up attitude, she can also be cocky to the point of arrogant, if not selfish and shortsighted. She entered the great race for leadership by lying about her gender and posing as a male, and has been defending her title and proving herself more than a match for anyone since.
After contact with the Autobots from Cybertron, particularly Hot Shot and Optimus Prime, she has matured into a more careful, more compassionate robot, less focused on being the best racer and more focused on being the best leader for her people... though she still maintains her never-lose attitude and love of high-speed challenges.
She has developed a close bond with the human girl Lori, referring to her as "Little Sister", which Lori reciprocates by calling Override "Big Sister".
During a regular race on Velocitron, Override was making everyone else eat her dust when suddenly, someone was blocking her way. She drove right at him but he wouldn't move so she had to transform. Megatron introduced himslef to her asking where he could find Override, the leader of the planet. He had found her. He asked where he could find the Cyber Planet Key so she challenged him to a race to get that info. He accepted and even though it was a photo finish, she still won. She told him she didn't really know about the key and just wanted to race so he told her he'd tell her all about it next time they race. Space
Later on top of a mountain with a flat top that had a race track she always goes to, Megatron was questioning her about the Cyber Planet Key again but she told him she didn't know anything about it. He promised to give her a great reward if she helped him find it but she didn't think he could do that since the most valuable thing on Velocitron is the Planet Cup which she had already won. Megatron believed this may be the key they were looking for. It was settled that if Megatron could beat her in a race she would give him the cup. As soon as the race started another racer joined in and he was also looking for the key. Megatron warned her that he was part of an evil organisation while the other racer tried to convince her that Megatron was part of the real evil organisation. However she didn't care and just wanted to see if they could beat her in a race or not. Override managed to stay in the lead as whenever Megatron tried to boost faster he hit the edge of the track. Hot Shot almost won but Crumplezone shot two missiles at him which, although they missed, made him lose so Override won. She was so angry at him and Ransack for ruining her race that she almost ran them over, so they ran away. Override complimented Hot Shot on how fast he was and said they could talk about the key next time they race and warned him he wouldn't win that one either. Rush
Their next race started soon after. As Clocker started the race by saying "Go!" Hot Shot jumped into the race but Override waited, much to the annoyance of Clocker, said that a lady never rushes and started while Hot Shot was already into the race. She was much faster than him and believed he needed a head start and was still winning regardless. Hot Shot suddenly managed to summon a Cyber Key and was beating her, but crashed quickly and fell off the race track. Override looked forward to racing him again. Speed Later, she found Ransack and Crumplezone with a velocitronian who they had knocked down. They told her he had fallen down and they were helping him up but she didn't believe them and was going to help him up, but he told her he didn't want her help so she drove away. Search
I want to tell you about the Transformers!
This character article is a stub and is missing information on their fictional appearances. You can help MediaWiki by expanding it.
Override led the crew of the Star Arrow, which was carrying an experimental Force Chip. The Star Arrow was attacked above Sandokan and crashed on the surface. The crew encountered Synthos, a scrap-monster powered by the Dark Heart. Override and the other Autobots fled from the monster and hid until Astrotrain attacked. When Astrotrain captured the Force Chip and headed towards Synthos, Override followed. She sought to prevent Synthos' Dark Heart from falling into Decpticon hands, but also desired to save the sentient scrap monster. The Autobots captured the Decepticon shuttle that carried Cannonball into battle and used it to capture him, Astrotrain, and the other Decepticons. After depositing them on the other side of the continent, the Autobots fled to Cybertron with the recaptured Force Chip. The Dark Heart of Sandokan
Part of the Speed Planet theme, Override transforms into a sleek futuristic race car. Plugging a Cyber Planet Key into the rear portion of her car mode causes two non-firing blasters to flip out into attack position; this assembly becomes a hand-weapon for robot mode, and can also store on her back. Override's transformation is partially spring-loaded; pressing her black "front bumper" automatically flips her torso and arms into position, requiring only her lower body and backpack to be manually configured. She came with a gold-bordered Velocitron-style Cyber Planet Key.
There are a few small deco changes between the Hasbro and Takara versions of the toy; Takara's has a gold face, black paint on the chest intakes and blue stripes on the thighs while Hasbro's has an orange face, an Autobot faction sigil on the left side of her chest, a less prominent stripe pattern on the inside shins and gives her Key the Key code "dy7p".
This version of Override also was available in two different store-exclusive multi-packs. The first was a Wal-Mart set, including the Cybertron-series Tiny Tin version of the Race Mini-Con Team member Mirage. The second was a Target-exclusive "Drag Race" (...yeah, there's a joke there) set with Hot Shot.
Override's first toy was redecoed into a non-show coloration, replacing her white for a light gray, and gaining more black in her scheme. She still came with a gold -bordered Velocitron Cyber Planet Key, though this one has the Key code "dj9n".
Early solicitations for this toy used the name "Double Clutch", suggesting that at one time, it might have been under consideration as being a new character. However, the first true Hasbro announcement of the toy at BotCon 2005 was that it was Override again.
In Japan, Override is the male Nitro Convoy. It was originally intended that she would be male in the Hasbro version of Cybertron, but Cartoon Network, the channel with the airing rights to the show, felt it needed more female presence in the main cast, and Override was chosen to change genders.[1]
Although actress Lisa Ann Beley is the only one to receive credit as the English voice of Override in the credits of the show itself, the character's voice actually continuously changes back and forth between Beley and the uncredited Nicole Oliver.[2] Beley's performance has a little bit of a harder edge to it, but overall, it takes a very experienced ear to pick out the differences, to the point that it took four years after the show had aired for anyone to realize!
Override's alternate mode of a futuristic race car, as well as its red and white color scheme, evokes the Mach 5 from the Speed Racer series.
In Cybertron, Lori and Override refer to each other affectionately as "big sister"/"little sister". Being male, Galaxy Force Nitro Convoy's relationship with Lori is slightly different; he refers to Lori as what essentially translates to "little miss".
In the Hungarian dub, Override is both male and female. Don't think about that too hard.
Many fans believe that she and Hot Shot have a thing for each other, though this is never confirmed nor denied within the series.
