japanvoice =Overdrive's bio described him as incredibly fast, both physically and mentally - which, unfortunately, had brought with it a severe case of arrogance. Even the other Omnibots have to suffer his continuing putdowns and superiority complex. Because of this other Autobots shun him, and hope he can get his ego under control before he is abandoned entirely.Dreamwave Productions
Overdrive and the other Omnibots made a brief cameo appearance in the second G1 miniseries from
Dreamwave Productions . Their bodies were seen as victims ofMenasor 's rampage.Transformers: Binaltech

*Generation 1 Overdrive
*Binaltech Overdrive:Overdrive transforms into a
Honda S2000 but was characterised asWindcharger inAlternators as the Overdrive name was unavailable toHasbro . The figure is surrounded in some controversy, as Takara's Overdrive version includes a long gun barrel that forms the car mode's driveshaft, while Hasbro's Windcharger version had the barrel deleted. Windcharger's gun was otherwise unchanged, and still includes the connecting point for the absent barrel.:Another source of confusion is the Head sculpt for theDecepticon retooled from the convertible S2000,Decepticharge . Decepticharge's head resembles the original (Generation 1) Windcharger's animated version, and is the source of rumors that the 2005Ford Mustang GT robot used to createGrimlock andWheeljack was intended to be Windcharger's body.Transformers: Super Link
