There are villains who conquer.

There are villains who believe.

And then… there’s Overlord.

A Decepticon Phase Sixer engineered for escalation, Overlord wasn’t created to win battles—he was built to end them. From Masterforce and Zone to Last Stand of the Wreckers and Requiem, this is the story of a monster who didn’t just thrive in war… he became it.

But what happens when the war ends?

In this episode of Disassembled: Heroes and Villains, we explore Overlord’s brutal legacy, his terrifying evolution across Transformers continuities, and the deeper lesson he forces us to confront:

Tarn wasn’t a conqueror. He wasn’t a warlord.

He was something far more dangerous—a believer.

In this haunting deep dive, Disassembled: Heroes and Villains unpacks the story of Tarn and the Decepticon Justice Division—a group so feared, even Decepticons whispered their names. But behind the executions, the list, and the voice that could kill… was a tragic spiral of loyalty turned lethal.

We trace Tarn’s descent from prison commandant to ideological enforcer, revealing how his obsession with Megatron’s teachings destroyed not only others—but himself. And in doing so, we confront a terrifying truth: when belief becomes identity, even mercy becomes treason.

This episode explores:

• The emotional horror of Grindcore Prison
• Tarn’s manipulation of Skids and betrayal of Quark
• The DJD’s most chilling executions
• Cross-franchise parallels to Vader, Magneto, and Zamasu
• What real-world extremism teaches us about blind devotion

If you’ve ever asked how a hero becomes a villain—this is the answer.

He spoke little.

But he heard everything.

And in the shadows of the Decepticon Empire, no one was more trusted—or more feared—than Soundwave.

In this episode of Disassembled: Heroes and Villains, we dissect the silent sentinel of Megatron’s inner circle. From G1 to IDW, from cold enforcer to tragic ideologue, Soundwave’s evolution reveals a character shaped by surveillance, loyalty, and silence weaponized.

Was Soundwave just Megatron’s spy?

Or was he the only true believer?

We explore:

– Soundwave’s origin as a watcher rather than a warrior

– How his loyalty was both his greatest virtue and deepest flaw

– His surprising tenderness toward his cassettes and comrades

– And the unsettling truth: that information—not firepower—wins wars

Whether you’re a fan of his stoic G1 presence or his revolutionary role in IDW’s More Than Meets the Eye, this episode reveals the inner workings of the Decepticons’ most enigmatic asset.

Because Soundwave didn’t just follow Megatron…

He amplified him.
