A bulletin is posted to the Autobot database, consisting, mostly, of a picture that Autobots from at least one reality will find very recognizable: Overlord. The images (there are multiple ones from different angles) are all high quality, as they were pulled from the Decepticon database and not the visual recordings of the one who provided them, and there are also one or two that show him in the state he was in when he first arrived on Ship.
"Need anyone who can identify this guy to give us what they got on him, pronto. Went by 'Gigatron' among the 'Cons, but we got reason to suspect he wasn't being entirely forthcoming."
This goes up Month 2, Week 2, Day 1.

Holi responds, because he reads the database too often!
"That looks like Overlord, sir.
"I don't know for sure if it's the Overlord that fought God Ginrai," because there could be others, you know, "but what I know about that Overlord is that he was one of the Godmasters, and very powerful. He nearly killed Ginrai, and almost destroyed Earth. He was the Emperor of Destruction for a long while, at least until Deathsaurus took over. And even though he wasn't in charge any longer, he hadn't been defeated, either.
"God Ginrai was still fighting him in Space Sector Two when I left."
Included is a somewhat deteriorated but large file image of his reality's Overlord.

Springer's video post has him looking...well, slightly unsettled by this.
"Far as I know, like Holi said, that 'bot's name is Overlord. Where I come from, he was one of Megatron's go-to guys for getting battles won. He might not be one of the Decepticons' Phase-Sixers, but he could certainly be one if he wanted to. He's one of those 'bots that really enjoys combat - and is pretty good at it, too. Wiped out a whole battalion of us on Caldoon 4 - and very nearly took my Kup with 'em."
A pause.
"I don't know if this is the Overlord from my universe, or Holi's, or some other one... I'd approach him with extreme caution, just in case, though - if at all."

The sight of those pictures makes his fuel lines run cold.
"Yeah. That looks like our Overlord." He'd recognize those absent, cold red optics anywhere. Even in grainy, unfocused pictures.
Attached is the file that was given to the Wreckers for their assignment. There is not much, but it contains a basic write up and clearer pictures of Overlord then what's currently in the database.
"Here's what I've got on him. Former Phase Sixer. This means he kills planets for a livin'. Or used too, he went renegade for reasons unknown. Nigh invincible, has access to heavy firepower, you will need heavy ordnance to take him down. Extremely sadistic, sickest glitch I've ever seen."
"Yeah. Bad news. Avoid at all costs."

The pictures aren't grainy or unfocused, as they were taken from the Decepticon database itself. Still, more images are always welcome.
Kup attaches a voice and text reply.
"Well, we were figuring the bad news part, but 'avoidin' ain't always an option."
"All right. Here's what we got: showed up among the 'Cons in the state shown among the burnt pics. To all accounts, shouldn't have been functional. Gave his name as 'Gigatron,' claimed to be a criminal psychologist working for the Decepticon Justice Division." Kup sounds pretty dubious about the concept of 'Decepticon Justice.' "Hung around for repairs and to recover, then in the middle of onna of their rock watches turned around and crucified his watch partner, Bonecrusher, with shards of metal pulled from Bonecrusher's own body. Tore through an opposition force that included Scourge, the spikey Starscream, Hellbender, Wreckage, and slaggin' Bruticus, grabbed about half their meteorites and then took off, shruggin' off as much firepower as their Ship could send against him."
"So he's out there, and he may be buildin' an army, and avoidin' means letting that army get bigger, but until we can figure out where he is, ain't much we can do about it, anyway."

"Burned? Hrmn. Hope so. Does me good, knowin' the fragger got blown up after all. But that level of sadism? Gotta be him. Sounds similar to his handiwork at Garrus-9."

OOC: Sorry, missed that the pictures were clear.

"Mind you, he didn't stay burned. Seemed to recover pretty completely and pretty quickly, from my understanding. But yeah, something big happened before he showed up over there."

"Never heard anything about Overlord, nor any 'Gigatron' being a part of the DJD. Given the mention of that group and his...actions... in his escape, and that level of endurance, I think it's safe to say he comes from mine and Guzzle's universe, or some variation of it."
"Dealing with him should be fun," he comments, tone and facial expression showing the metric ton of sarcasm that statement's loaded with.
