Overflow
From Transformers Wiki
- Overflow is an Autobot Micromaster from the toyline portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Overflow is half of the Autobot Battlefield Headquarters team, along with his combiner partner Full-Barrel. He is calm, meticulous, and would spend hours perfecting his battlefield strategies, if he didn't have to keep an eye on Full-Barrel all the time.[1]

The Transformers
- Battlefield Headquarters (Micromaster Combiner Autobot Headquarters, 1990)
- Accessories: 2-part "Battlefield Headquarters" vehicle, 2 "scrambler guns", 2 "laser machine guns", 2 "air-to-air missiles", 2 "cruise missiles"
- Released in the seventh and final year of the original The Transformers toyline in the US (sixth and not-final in Europe), Overflow transforms into... well, two-thirds of a tractor-trailer cargo trailer unit. Awkward. He is intended to combine primarily with his partner Full-Barrel to form a complete tractor-trailer rig. As a Micromaster Combiner, he can also attach to any other Micromaster Combiner, Combiner Transport or Micro Trailer to form weird new vehicle modes.
- He and Full-Barrel were only available packed in with Autobot Battlefield Headquarters.
- No version of this set was sold in the Takara line.
Notes
- Amusingly, Full-Barrel and Overflow form a perfect miniature version of the Battlefield Headquarters they drive, even having the Headquarters' folded wings sculpted into their sides. Both the Battlefield Headquarters and Full-Barrel/Overflow even split in the same place in vehicle mode.
- Dedicated art of Overflow and Full-Barrel's own bodies was largely obscured on the packaging for the Battlefield Headquarters. Decades later, the full views were published in Legacy: The Art of Transformers Packaging.
