Much rather have seen it as the silverbolt mold. Totally missed with the Bludgeon mold.

Totally missed? The tank mode is spot on, as is the updated head. I don't see anything wrong with it.

I'm not familiar with Gigatron or Metalhawk and I don't care for SG Soundwave in the Classics Ratchet/Ironhide mold (the waist section is too big and looks weird), so this set looks like an easy pass.

I agree, the tank mode will likely look spot on. The problem is the tank is the least remembered component of Overlord IMO - most people think of the Robot mode first (which at least we have a good likeness in the head) and the Jet component before the Tank.

I don't find that the Robot mold evokes Overlord very well myself, and between the Jet and Tank I would rather have the Jet myself.

I actually like the use of this mold for Overlord. I'm looking forward to the rest of this set.

Love the head. Not so thrilled with the choice of body though. So far, my wallet is a little happier seeing that picture.
