Megatron was convinced that he would make a better leader of Cybertron even then, and Ravage agreed, noting that Megatron was the planet's best chance of weathering the inevitable change on the horizon. His sacrifice was in vain now almost completely out of energon, the Overlord pleaded to both Megatron and Ravage to spare some of their own energy to keep him alive, but they rebuffed him. Nightstalker, in an extreme show of loyalty to his charge, defied the suggestion and then sacrificed himself to take out the shock troops. Unfortunately, they were set upon by shock troops-remnants of Tarn's nearly defunct military-and Megatron suggested to Ravage that they abandon the Overlord and try to jump a gap in the expressway to freedom. He was exhausted and unable to travel further without fear of complete deactivation by the time the group reached the Iaconian expressway, causing Optimus to go on ahead to seek help from the city while Megatron and the bodyguards stood watch over him. The Overlord, accompanied by his trusted bodyguards Nightstalker and Ravage, along with the now ex-athletes Optimus Prime and Megatron, tried to make his way to the safety of Iacon. Though the saboteurs were discovered, they blew up the plant anyway, and Tarn and Vos went to war with both the Overlord and Iacon's athletes still within Tarn's city walls. While a competition held at Tarn overseen by the Overlord was going on, athletes from Vos (including Tornado) attempted a plot to sabotage the city's power plant and blame it on Iacon, hoping to start a war that would take out both of their rivals. Unfortunately, this had the opposite effect, only widening the rifts between the city-states. The last of the Overlords-an aging, rusted husk of a mech enfeebled to the point of needing a near-constant supply of Energon injected directly into his body to keep himself functional-attempted to keep rising tensions between the city-states at bay by instituting gladiatorial competitions that became known as "the Games". Over time, their power was shaken by overpopulation and fuel shortages, which caused the world to break up into feuding city-states. The Overlords appeared exclusively in the UK portion of the Marvel Comics continuity.ĭuring the era prior to the Cybertronian Civil Wars, a line of Autobot Overlords ruled Cybertron as a planet-wide autocracy.
