I love how unrepentantly evil he is in the comics. IDW makes great villains, in that they have good motivations, and its easy to feel sorry for them, or at least see where they're coming from by the end of their arcs. Then there's Overlord. He's just evil. He's sadistic, unhinged, and scary. He relishes his evilness, but not so much that becomes nonthreatening or cartoonish. Its actually kinda refreshing.
I've always found this modern take on Overlord fascinating. He looks like the Transformers equivalent of a supermodel, or a bodybuilder, who's secretly a serial killer who'd show up at someone's door and sweet talk them into letting him inside their house, sealing their fate. That's the kind of vibe I get from him, anyway. It's not a sort of look we've ever seen before.
His modern IDW design was based on roman sculptures and busts, especially the pouting lips. This is done to reflect his moral decadence and compulsive nature masked by an air of sofistication and finesse. His face is made to look like Caligula's. His mannerisms on the other hand were based off Doctor Who's villain The Master.
yes me too i just watch videos about masterpieces and i got a lot of knowlege about it , but its imposible for me to afford then ,, even a ko takara is out of posibilities, thanks emgo dude for your vids ,, where do you put all ypur figures? are you rich?
when you said "hi, I'm overlord, hope that I can rip you on half", is a last Stand of the wreckers reference when guzzle was ripped from his upper and lower half.
I love it when Emgo gushes over a figure. His excitement is the good kind of infectious! If this Overlord was ever to appear in a new Transformers cartoon (*big* if), I'd want Patrick Stewart to voice him!
I think if Overlord ever appeared in a series (minus Power of the Primes), that series would immediately get an R rating because otherwise it would’ve really be overlord
The moment emgo made overlord tilt his head, I instantly noped and shook my head. He just screams creepy and I'm evil! Hes in the line of people like Tarn, that id jump planet and haul away screaming 'nope!'
@@lacking6101 @mico4767 SAME!!! Just got mine literally today after admiring it from afar for all these years....my goodness it is spectacular! Hope you guys got yours too!
I always thought of him in an overdramatic Tim Curry, but then A; I got into JoJo. and B; He was voiced by Patrick Seitz in the Prime Wars cartoon. Now I see him as the Transformers equivalent of DIO. Reasons: Both are sadistic beyond belief, had body split problems (Overlord's a Duocon and DIO's head took Johnathan's body,) both got voiced by Seitz, are freaking HUGE (jacked-huge,) calm and over-confident, born evil, had something time related (Overlord wanted a time machine and DIO can stop time,) and both are so charismatic and handsome beyond comprehension, they're actually terrifying.
Ring around the Rosie Pockets full of posies Ashes, Ashes, We all fall down Ring around the Rosie What do you suppose we Can do to fight the darkness In witch we drown Ring around the Rosie This evil thing it knows me Lost ones surround me I can’t fall down
Wow, that eye is unexpected and awesome. Most of the time there is no details in TF eyes (not counting bayverse) so seeing that fine detailwork there is very impressive.
We missed a great opportunity for a Simpsons reference. "I for one accept our new MC Overlord..." Ah well, perhaps the next time a toy version of this guy is reviewed...
this was a really cool one. a lot of stuff to like about it. ha ha. I like the 2 seperate vehicles, allows each to look better. and how they look combined is really cool. the wobbling gun was to kill a bunch of bots in front. a lot of neat features to all of it. I didn't expect that there could be a more evil looking face though so that was neat. this one really makes me wish I had loads of money. ha ha. for the skit I was expecting Megatron to shot him in the eye, thus the alternate head used, and Megatron blown practically to pieces. still a funny skit though
I really can't afford to get this at the moment (and couldn't have when you first posted the review) ... but it looks really, *REALLY* awesome. The base mode looks like it's ALMOST more trouble than it's worth, but the end result pays off kind of abruptly and by surprise. The robot mode is, almost predictably, even better - awesome enough that I can forgive the partsforming (which is, all told, *VERY* well-done) I am curious about two related questions: 1) How much do you play with the figures you've acquired over time? For instance, do you tend to just leave them on a shelf once you've done your initial play sessions and reviews, or do you take them down and play with them again off and on? 2) How well have the tabs and joints on Carnifex held up over time? (I can tell you that my answer to #1 is generally "a fair amount, depending on how much I like the toy," so this second question is kind of important.) So yeah, I may go ahead and buy this if BBTS still has it in stock when I scrape the money together. That's a steep price tag ... but I think Carnifex looks to be worth it. @.@
Hi, my name's Overlord. I'm gonna rip you in half right now. Hope you're okay with that! Don't care if you're not. Where has this line been in my life? I need this.
Not really. Technically a Duocon is when two separate transformers combiner their vehicle modes to make one robot mode. Both of Overlord’s vehicle components are not separate transformers. So technically he is not a Duocon.
@@therandomnessstrikes1435 What? No. Battletrap and Flywheels aren't separate robots. They're both one consciousness each that splits into two vehicles.
@@zuttoaragi8349 well then. I don’t know that. So I am guessing that Overlord really is technically a Duocon after all. Although Power of The Primes Battletrap is a different story. After that version of him IS two different bots.
@@therandomnessstrikes1435 Yeah, POTP Battletrap is the exception, not the rule. The G1 Duocons are one robot, two vehicles, and Siege Skytread is one robot, two vehicles. Personally I don't mind the idea of Duocons being the Decepticon version of Powerlinx, but since it's a one-off I doubt it.
@@therandomnessstrikes1435 Also, don't feel bad about not knowing that off the top of your head. And apologies if my first response came off rude, wasn't intended that way. I think Thew said it best when he said that, as Transformers fans, there's this innate idea that we always have to know everything about everything, which isn't true or good.
PARTSFORMING?!? WORST TOy... yeah guys, he's a glorified DUO-CON, at the MINIMUM he was gonna split in half at the waist, a-la upcoming Titans Return one.
Hey emgo can you review the six clone sixshot ( i think its called that ) and do three parts as it has six forms so maybe do 2 vehicle modes each episode and on the last one do the vehicle then the robot mode also i love your videos and your are my favourite toy review channel
Do you ever have issues getting the shoulder pads in the right place going into jet mode. It seems like I have to fight with it every time. Just wondering if you have any issues with them??
yeah and he brutally killed mistress of flame and infecter hot rod to rodimus unicronus in titans return, hes a tough guy, but megatron himself said he beat overlord up a few times

Perfect enemu dor the Wreckers
Wrecj and Rule!
It's cool that a lot of the villains in the Comics are autobots .

This...This is disturbing......however I agree lol!!!!
you have a wonderful imagination.
NickonAquaMagna don't forget he also sets that house on fire and laughs and points at it then he leaves
stop looking at the package ing

I like seeing these third party Transformers. I can't afford them, but I like them.
what leader class is supposed to be in my mind
yes me too i just watch videos about masterpieces and i got a lot of knowlege about it , but its imposible for me to afford then ,, even a ko takara is out of posibilities, thanks emgo dude for your vids ,, where do you put all ypur figures? are you rich?
youtube gives money for subs and veiws i think but yeah i watch reveiws even though ill probably never be able to get it

when you said "hi, I'm overlord, hope that I can rip you on half", is a last Stand of the wreckers reference when guzzle was ripped from his upper and lower half.
spoilers man.
no you say wreckers combine
So...who's in charge?
Megatron: No you hang up
Overlord: No you hang up
Megatron: No you hang up
Overlord: No you hang up
Oh god this guy. Overlord has managed to be the only character in all of transformers to officially creepy out
Vos?
Astray Noir what about Sunder
Sunder?
Sunder: *Exists*
@@silenc3068 If they teamed up it would spell the doom of society.
I love it when Emgo gushes over a figure. His excitement is the good kind of infectious!
If this Overlord was ever to appear in a new Transformers cartoon (*big* if), I'd want Patrick Stewart to voice him!
Daniel Brant good call
Daniel Brant or the purple man actor from the jessica jones series, if (big if) he was a voice actor.
I think if Overlord ever appeared in a series (minus Power of the Primes), that series would immediately get an R rating because otherwise it would’ve really be overlord
I think James Spader would be a better choice
If this Overlord ever appears in a new cartoon, I'd shit my pants from both sheer joy and terror.
Imagine waking up it the night and seeing that grin staring at you through the darkness. Have fun going back to sleep
Yeahhhhh.... Nope. Going straight to nope town on so many levels. Dont need nightmares!
The moment emgo made overlord tilt his head, I instantly noped and shook my head. He just screams creepy and I'm evil! Hes in the line of people like Tarn, that id jump planet and haul away screaming 'nope!'
Watching this review six years into the future as I've finally been able to afford a pre-order for the reissue at my new job. Thanks for the review!
wow thats awesome! same here actually!! so excited
@@lacking6101 @mico4767
SAME!!! Just got mine literally today after admiring it from afar for all these years....my goodness it is spectacular! Hope you guys got yours too!
Anybody else hear Malcolm McDowell's voice when you read Overlord's dialogue? I'm singin' in the rain...
I always thought of him in an overdramatic Tim Curry, but then A; I got into JoJo. and B; He was voiced by Patrick Seitz in the Prime Wars cartoon.

Freaking awesome he's in the top of my list this year
Dat Nguyen me too
+Jackson Harris yes I totally agree, mastermind creations hit the ball out of the park with this figure
Let’s be honest, the scariest part about Overlord is the lips.....
Ring around the Rosie
Pockets full of posies
Ashes, Ashes,
We all fall down
Ring around the Rosie
What do you suppose we
Can do to fight the darkness
In witch we drown
Ring around the Rosie
This evil thing it knows me
Lost ones surround me
I can’t fall down
Overlord would recite this poet ENDLESSLY.
*Wreckers, combine!*
life persists...unless Overlord gets to you.
*I thought it was funny.*
Just made me laugh lol
( overlord aim his blaster to your head )
Too soon
Overload is so evil and scary that even his gun is scared of him , look how shaking it is!
I love how everything is storable.
why'd they give him the name of a deathcore band
(actually i love deathcore so my respect has been gained)
Wow, that eye is unexpected and awesome. Most of the time there is no details in TF eyes (not counting bayverse) so seeing that fine detailwork there is very impressive.
"and you take this tab and plug right here... into his crotch"
me: "please for the love of god do it in robot mode."
hahahahaha
I'm surprised you didn't include Pipes in the size comparison, though I'm glad I didn't have to relive that sad moment.
*A third party Transformer named after a Warhammer 40,000 unit form the Tyranid army. Cool reference!*
very detailed review, lighting was better than the others I've seen so I've now been sold. thanks again EMGO
Whenever i do an Overlord impression, i just end up doing an impression of Cell from DBZA.
Man this reminds me of hexatron. Mastermind has come a longway
We missed a great opportunity for a Simpsons reference. "I for one accept our new MC Overlord..." Ah well, perhaps the next time a toy version of this guy is reviewed...
The combination mode reminds me of Megatron/Galvatron from Transformers Cybertron.
That gun-placement in base mode made me LOL.
I thought he looked kinda big so I looked at the comics and yeah. He’s working a pretty perfect scale.
this was a really cool one. a lot of stuff to like about it. ha ha. I like the 2 seperate vehicles, allows each to look better. and how they look combined is really cool. the wobbling gun was to kill a bunch of bots in front. a lot of neat features to all of it.

The end skit apppeared in my dream but with two buff mustache dudes.
8:50 Looks like cybertron megatron
he goes from "squirrel!" to "look a penny!"
22:53 Oh no.....what could make it MORE evil?!
22;56: "Boop" OH GOD GET IT AWAY!!!
It's never too early for your tongue to stop working!!
Anyone kinda think his cannon looks like an M16
*I too, got similar vibes from that.*
ikr

Why isn’t this toy on the wiki?... how dould something like this slip under their radar?
you could make this a Batman style transformer by painting him black
24:15 he was like what are u doing
hey yo emgo where did you get this toy from, I'm a newbie at collecting would love to have this figure to go with my many others?
Now that's what I called a masterpiece Idw overlord yep that's right
someone should probably tell mastermind creations that carnifex is an extreme death metal band....
Emgo you are one of the best reviewers out there. TOP THREE
Square power6149 I swear someone comments this on every vid he does lol
I know that's me I am trying to get Emgo to respond
Square power6149 kk HEY EMGO I DARE U TO RESPOND TO THIS GUY!!!!!! notice him senpai
Thank you
Square power6149 ur welcome we all want emgo senpai to notice us
The engineering is so amazing omg...
Mine just came in the mail today. great figure!
Combined mode of tank and plane is his space ship mode, emgo
Your post credit scenes are hilarious! :D
The back pack on this guy is a nightmare
i like it so cool keep up like this keep making transformers videos i love them i watch almost all of them
I got him for Christmas it's awesome he is above all the other ones I have he is a masterpiece in my eyes
I like the super god force over lord before he super scary and murderis tho
Are you gonna get the Whirl and roadbuster??
Bit odd I think that you didn't have a size comparison of him with Ultra Magnus, Warden, nor Chromedome with optional Rewind and Pipes.
That seeker has gotta be Skywarp
Two reasons I clicked on this. Number one is because it’s an emgo review. Number two is because his name is Carnifex 😂
I think his the names of the alt modes were the Giga Tank and Mega Jet
That tank looks like a neon lunch pail haha
Erik Hawkke lol
5:30. "PARTS FORMING!!! WORST TOY EVER!!!" (it's NOT)
Starting to regret buying TR Overlord :(
Amazing figure forsure! Great review!
7:54 Speedboat of Murder-Death
Was there a party when overlord have his giant chainsaw on a comic book
I don’t know of this is heresy or not but I prefer having Overlord being a triple changer then a guy that splits in half
Hi, my name's Overlord.
I'm gonna rip you in half right now. Hope you're okay with that!
Don't care if you're not.
Where has this line been in my life? I need this.
I'm so getting this no if ands or butts lol all hail Carnifex 😈
I hope they make an IDW Overlord in the WfC line because I just can't afford third party.
“Intelligence 3”
Whoever made this card just copied and pasted a combiner, because his absurd intelligence is what also makes him scary.
fffffffff that tank looks like something from Metal Slug but on super steroids
emgo, do you plan to get Jaegertron? I just got him in the mail today, and he's a wonderful representation of Lockdown. inspired by ROTF and AOE.
He's look like from the last stand of the wreckers comics.
i think the figure is based on that ver of overlord
Brandon Lougon that's exactly what he is: the IDW ver of Overlord
Kayone73 i saw him in my comic book i was reading.
i made a custom hellbent on ripping overlord to scrap metal
I thought this thing was going to be smaller but I was wrong now I want this thing 😄😄😄😄
Even megatron is afraid of him.
I just realized, that isn't Overlord technically a Duocon?

Was there no SAD PAC-MAN?
i think pacman may have changed his medication. i hope. i worry about the little guy sometimes.
crispcat It's only on Japanese boxes.
was waiting for you do him. ^_^ now will rid build team ever be reviewed ever to see compare to titans return constructions? :(
He is the most evil character in a group of evil Transformers
PARTSFORMING?!? WORST TOy... yeah guys, he's a glorified DUO-CON, at the MINIMUM he was gonna split in half at the waist, a-la upcoming Titans Return one.
Review the Titans Return version of him, when you get him.
George G. He will
The Giga-tank and Mega-Plane
can you do a review on the Reformatted R-15 Jaegertron? this is truthfully my go-to channel for transformers toys
You going to get the Masterforce upgrade kit with new head and power masters?
Hey emgo can you review the six clone sixshot ( i think its called that ) and do three parts as it has six forms so maybe do 2 vehicle modes each episode and on the last one do the vehicle then the robot mode also i love your videos and your are my favourite toy review channel
I am going to call the base mode crotch sniper
Do you ever have issues getting the shoulder pads in the right place going into jet mode. It seems like I have to fight with it every time. Just wondering if you have any issues with them??
not really
How tall is he compared to Siege Omega Supreme?
The base mode looks like a squid.
That thing is pure sex
i could hope honestly see mastermind heavily remold it to cybertron megatron
the jet mode should be the new Batman Jet
Oh cool. We got that guy who tortures and tears people apart in his free time. Great...
Pride!Ed from BBI/BBR have you read last stand of the wreckers?
As opposed to those guys who torture and tear people apart as their jobs.
yeah and he brutally killed mistress of flame and infecter hot rod to rodimus unicronus in titans return, hes a tough guy, but megatron himself said he beat overlord up a few times
Yay! Death!!!!
Is it just me or does the jet (when in combined vehicle mode) look like a Super Valkyrie/Veritech minus the wings?
I am starting to feel sorry for Mascot. Since he has to dodge boxes and cards and what not a lot.... Any who I dig your show emgo so keep it up.
yoo emgo, what about mp-32? do you get it? do the "MONKEY RAGE!!!!" for me if you review it...
wow this toy is so cool
You didn't compare him to IDW Fort Max
He smiles like Dr. Livesey.
its more a masterpiece than leader class
*Nervous memory stick noises*
