Universe (2008)

• Mini-Con 10-Pack (Multi-pack, 2009)
  • Series: Armada Series

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

He was only available as part of a Mini-Con 10-pack with Windrazor, Ransack, Stockade, Sky Shadow, Scavenger, Longview, Snow Cat, Treadshot, and Crosshairs. This set was not widely available at retail, showing up primarily at Kmart and Meijer stores in the U.S., Canadian Tire in Canada and Tesco outlets in the United Kingdom.

This mold was also used to make Cybertron Strongarm, Detectas, Radrogue, Flatfoot and Mighty Stra.

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.
