Just buy Grapple.

And switch his head for Road Hauler's.

I like the idea of having that head, but not being in a dynamic pose.

It's going to be a real look of Dull Surprise.

Inferno (or Artfire), then.

Does seem weird that the voyagers don't have ikkle guys with them like the netflix line. Hasbro overcharging for deluxes aint anything new, theyve done it before and been praised for it so dont see any difference for Override.

I don't want those little guys, they only ever made the previous voyager figures even more expensive.

Hunh...didn't notice on Override, but the packaging ia designed to be pegged, not shelved (shelfed? Naw, shelved)

I wonder why the change?

Also, not sure why I'm even bringing it up...

Even Voyagers in Legacy have peg hooks now.

I tend to agree with those saying Override isn't worth voyager price. She's worth more than a deluxe, since she's bigger than most modern deluxes and has a few extra parts for things like multi-part forearms and shins, etc., but more than deluxe =/= voyager.

I'll probably still buy it though (if I ever find it) because, as others have mentioned, this has all the makings of a figure that's going to get scalped to high heaven and quadruple in price on the secondary market. Plus I really like how this line is packaged in alt mode, it'll probably be one of the only boxes I keep.

I think the claw on Hauler has been retooled as well, something is going on with it since it can attach over the hand nozzle.

I'm pretty sure there's a peg in the claw that would allow for the nozzle/blaster/missile would peg into, even if I've never displayed it that way. I'll look at it when I get home.

Judging from the box art for Hauler and Override it's actually a foot race.

Racetrack repairs? Demolition derby-esque competitions (I don't know sports and even less of motor sports)? Part of the non-racing minority established by the two IDW continuities so Knock Out could keep his buddy Breakdown?

Though we all know the real reason: easy repaint/remold which showed up in a recent comic. Still, I have to wonder what kinda logic Hasbro is working on that Sunstorm is too obscure to release a toy but (Road) Hauler is A-OK.

What they did with Stud Ser Hot Rod and Earthrise Prime is fine I guess, but for things like Override it is just plain stupid and unfair.

Not much else they could do if she went over budget for Deluxe.

Grapple's claw has an Airlock base connector, not a port, based on everything I've seen of it online.

Yup, looks like the new claw piece has the A.I.R. Lock connector removed in favor of pass-through 5mm port.

No.

Is there a difference between orange Hauler and Grapple? Seems like it would be the exact same toy to me.

I think we need to see a digibash of Hauler, how else could we know

New screaming head sculpt as said in the story, but still the Grapple cartoon head design. Otherwise, no new parts outside of the claw.

Honestly, looking at ovveride, what is "higher budget?" NOTHING THATS WHAT! I'm feeling very angry right about now probably cause I just listened to an enraging Billy Bud audio drama. Maybe I should have replied to this comment when I've calmed down, but I feel like replying to it now. Just why why?! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God help me I'm not having a good day sorry for the trouble.

The original constructions were confronted by the robo-smasher. Most of them were reporgramed into evil decepticons. My personal fanfic was that only a few escaped, Scoop and Hauler among them. They joined the repainted themselves orange to distinguish from the structicons.

It isn't a race. It's just fitting in long overdue redecos wherever they can. I complained at first too, but where else would we get these? It's like Buzzworthy isn't even about celebrating the ovverated bumblebee (it used to be).

I made this a while ago, please don't steal my precious from me!

I like the way you think, with Hauler using the Inferno head.

wow, I completely forgot about that. It is toy accurate though...
