Talk:Overlord (G1)

Is Gigatron really a different character than Overlord, or is it just another instance of two seperate names for the same Transformer? Dark T Zeratul 21:47, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Dreamwave's MTMTE guide went on to characterise him as an ancient mechanoid who first conceived the Powermaster process, so I'd say yes. - Chris McFeely 21:53, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Raising the inevitable question- is Gigatron UK Overlord, or are Gigatron, Overlord (UK) and VOerlord (MF) all 3 seperate characters? (Overlord (UK) is certainly not Overlord (MF), he's not even a Powermaster!) -Derik 21:55, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

This is a question I choose not to answer! :D (Although one might theorise that Overlord UK is the post-MF fully robotic Overlord Transtector.) - Chris McFeely 21:59, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Dreamwave also had Dai Atlas and Deathsaurus as ancient TF's. And it has Sunstorm (who is not generally a clone) as a clone, along with a bunch of other non-clones like Ricochet and Monacle. -Derik 22:03, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Mmn, but at the same time, they didn't change their names. "Same body, same names, different setting" would equal "alternate version of same character," moreso than "different name, different setting, same body" would. - Chris McFeely 22:04, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Isn't there also a UK comic character called Overlord? --M Sipher 22:08, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Yah, from "State Games," I think. But IIRC, that was a title ("The Overlord") rather than the bloke's actual NAME, for what that's worth. - Chris McFeely 22:10, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Last of The Overlords, who had once ruled Cybertron. I construed the ovelords were reponsible for the city-state clustering, having foudned them as personal power bases before dying off of old age... but there's nothign int he story itself to support that. They were a source of stability on Cybertronw hile they held power. After they died, planetary war broke otu almost imemdiately and never really ended. One cour argue this indicates TF's, which have a sort of inherited monarchy system, were not culturally ready for self-rule.-Derik 22:25, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
