The Overlord Main Battle Walker (or Overlord Mk. I) is a large bipedal combat walker employed by the Hypersentience Federal Armed Forces.

25 feet tall and armed with a 120mm side-mounted cannon, the Overlord still suffers from lack of speed and inability to effectively counter infantry units. Typically faster units were used for this purpose, although it should be noted that Overlords, especially in large groups, could simply crush infantry under their massive feet.

This unit would prove to be very useful in attacking bases, and unlike units with catepillar and wheel chassis, it can crush not only infantries but non-walker ground vehicles. Since it is a walker, it can walk across any terrain with a stable speed. As a general-purpose ground combat unit, however, the Overlord remains lacking in terms of viable air defense ordnances and a self-repair capacity.

The Overlord chassis has been used extensively by the HFedAF, and many advanced walkers used either newer versions of the Overlord chassis or modified ones.
