Encore Cassettes?

[Deceptigtar]

So we have seen the encore minibots, would anyone be interested if they did encore cassettes for blaster and soundwave? i think it would be cool if they did seperate boxes, one for blaster and one for soundwave. i would enjoy that. maybe 6 cassettes to each or all the tapes each one had.

thoughts?

If it was the 4 Japanese Dino Cassettes yes. Otherwise I already have vintage ones in fairly decent shape.

[G1Wheeljack]

I'd love that. For Soundwave I'd like to see:
Rumble
Frenzy
Ravage
Laserbeak
Buzzsaw
Ratbat
and for Blaster:
Rewind
Eject
Ramhorn
Steeljaw
Grand Slam
Raindance

I suspect something happened to a lot of the cassette molds because Takara and Hasbro KNOW they would make a killing releasing those, especially ones like Rumble, Frenzy and Ratbat, so it seems like they would have released them by now.

But yeah, I'd buy any cassettes they put out.

But not everyone does.

That's a silly reason. "I already have it, so there's no point in making it available to anyone else at a cheaper price."

Aren't you putting a lot of words in his mouth? Isn't he just saying what he, himself, would or would not be interested in? Where does he say he wants to deprive others of them?

[SPLIT LIP]

I would love it. The 'con cassettes were basically the bad guy's equal of mini-bots, so why not?

I would like to see Rumble, Frenzy, Buzzsaw, Ravage, Ratbat and Lazerbeak. Though the last one may be left out since Encore Soundwave came with him. (or was it Buzzsaw?) I don't see them doing the Autobot cassettes right away, (if tehy did the 'cons first) but if they did it wouldn't be a bad thing.

Sorry. It sounded like he was saying they shouldn't be made.

Enough people put words in my mouth with every breath I take. I should be allowed one mistake...

Isn't this 50% of the argument against _all_ G1 reissues, official and otherwise?

Yeah it sure seems that Laserbeak/Buzzsaw, Eject/Rewind, Ravage, and Steeljaw are the only usable ones they have. And I'd buy an Encore cassetterons pack for sure.

Also wish that they'd make legends/mini-con class cassettes for universe.

VS. Sets for the Cassettes.

Rumble vs. Rewind
Frenzy vs. Eject
Steeljaw vs. Ravage
Ramhorn vs. Laserbeak
Playback vs. Ratbat

File this under "completely ridiculous"... three sets of six:

Decepticon Set
Rumble - Frenzy - Ravage - Laserbeak - Buzzsaw - Ratbat

Autobot Set
Rewind - Eject - Ramhorn - Steeljaw - Grand Slam - Raindance

Dinosaur Set
Dairu - Gurafi - Noizu - Overkill - Slugfest - Zauru

And if you purchase all three sets, you get a free mailaway Squalktalk & Beastbox.:)

In all seriousness, a set of the six decepts would be great, as they were by far the most well-known of the cassette bunch. The prolific number of KOs on the market may cause Tak to think twice, though.

[Soundwave.ca]

I would love to see new cassettes aside from what's already been done.

[Takara_destron]

I'd buy an encore set in a heartbeat, but I'd love to see some new ones too (hoping this anniversary Ravage is gonna be good, it sounds great).

VS. Sets for the Cassettes.

Rumble vs. Rewind
Frenzy vs. Eject
Steeljaw vs. Ravage
Ramhorn vs. Laserbeak
Playback vs. Ratbat
Playback? Did I miss something?

If they were going to do this I'd rather they didn't use the cassettes that have come with every Soundwave/blaster, Blaster/Twincast reissue.

Screw the condors and the jaguar for Soundwave and screw the humaniods for Blaster.

For the Con's I'd want to see Rumble, Frenzy, Ratbat, Slugfest, Overkill, Squalktalk and Beastbox.

For the Bot's I'd like Steeljaw, Ramhorn, Grandslam, Raindance, and the uber elusive Japanese dino cassettes.

[Easterling Capt]

anything is possible in the Encore line but I highely doubt Ratbat mold still is usuable or they whould have probbaly used him by now with any fo the Soundwave/Soundblaster that has been relesed .

[ninety]

I'd like to see more tape cases, it's a pain trying to track them down, I considered buying a load of 'Classics' Soundwaves for the cases till i realised what a stupid idea that was.

I'd buy pretty much any Encore tapes, except Laserbeak and Ravage as I have quite a few of them of them already, looking forward to Uni. Ravage though, hope we get to see him at SDCC.

We'd all like the Dino-cassettes, eh?

As has been said, I suspect most of the cassette molds are shot/lost, as they would be a goldmine for TakTom, Encore releases would have to be better than the KO's.

[Shark Jumper]

I've been wanting slugfest and overkill since forever...

[MagnusPrimal]

I'd buy the cassettes before I'd buy the minibots.

[Melkava]

Did Hasbro/Takara ever mentioned anything about the status of the cassettes molds other than those recent reissued ?

to my knowledge no. it would make sense if they had them that this or something similar would have happened already.

i wish they did though because i know alot of us including myself are sick of ravage, buzzsaw and laserbeak with every new reissue soundwave.

[dark69]

i would LOVE that i realy want the 4 japan ones:( there the best

[Indiancowboy]

slightly OT but isn't classics 2.0 hound going to include an all new cassette ravage that will be backward compatible with soundwave/blaster?

Perhaps there's more to come from that...

Not quite encore, but clearly intended to be played with the original soundwave/blaster.

if they did something like this would be cool. or if they ever do a masterpiece soundwave and do a rumble and ratbat or something.

Disappointed that the toys weren't shown at SDCC. Am waiting for the design artwork to be show at the panel.

[Kingplay]

they should just make a full cassette set, that will be pure awesomeness :rock
