Designer's Notes: Crippled following a serious football injury two years ago, Overdrive has taken his passion for cars and transferred it to his wheelchair. Although not the world's best student, he is a genius mechanic, building most all the gadgets Brain designs. He is also protective of Brain, and has no liking for bullies—gladly showing any the error of their ways.
My biggest beef with Overdrive is his SID. I mean, the artwork showing his sitting in this souped-up wheelchair with nothing over his face. Then again, one has to wonder how many wheelchair-bound ex-jocks are there at the school? And let's not mention the +15" Running and Armor.... My suggestion? Make the wheelchair a vehicle. Some sort of egg-shaped armored pod on wheels. Remove the Force Field, scale down the DEF on the Armor, and there you have it! One "supercar." Increase the Running on the Exoskeleton, and Overdrive's ability to pull off his SID just got a lot better.
