Terrorbot/Spaceborne Trooper OVERCHARGE

-------------------------------------------------------------

Established as the latest model of "military hardware" produced by the

Transformers' evil creators, the Quintessons. In addition to the Autobot

and Decepticon decals, also come with a newly designed original emblem. You

get to decide their destiny!

"In the distant past, "military hardware" robots were furnished and traded to

numerous planetary nations and interstellar organizations as tools of the

Quintessons' malevolent business dealings. These autonomous weapons would

become the prototypes of the Decepticons. The newest model of this line,

the Overcharges, were produced as all-purpose combat units, ones

incorporated with the Decepticons' distinctively evolved military technology

and more than sufficiently endowed with the offensive strength necessary for

global domination.

WOW! If you look at all the translated tech-specs in Chronlogical order (as released by E-Hobby", then you will notice that they translated the first few bios via software, like Bbabelfish.

 

This new one (and the last 2 or 3) wre written by either one VERY talented Japanese worker or a foreigner hired to do it for them.

 

It wouldnt suprise me if they were at Dreamwave OR Hasbro.

 

That truly is a great piece of Transformers Ret-Con (retro continuity) and English too boot (if written by a Japanese person).

 

Well done Takara!

 

It would seem that The Quints created Triple Changers BEFORE Shockwave did. Maybe it inspired him to create Blitzwing?

 

This also ties in with my theory that the "cockpits" found in TFs like Grimlock, etc are mechanical "mutations" of dormant Quint technology, as TFs were originally designed to be piloted or controlled by smaller mechanoids or organic races.

 

Maybe thats another erason the Decepticons hate "fleshlings" so much.

The Guy who wrote this is my Personal TF-god and Japans Simon Furman

Hirofumi Ichkawa!!!!!!

this guy writes the E-Hobby Bios does the art for them, also wrote Linkage(armada Manga), The Binaltech Booklets/bios, and the Masterpiece Convoy Booklette!!!!
