It’s time to go back on the hunt! While Blaster has been out for a while at U.S. Retail, his companion Cassette Robots have yet to be sighted, until now as TFW2005 Boards Member Bumblebee3 has sighted the second wave of the Transformers: Generations Legends Class toys in Texas. This wave contains 2-Packs of Rewind/Sundor and Eject/Ramhorn.
Bumblebee3 shared this news via the TFW2005’s Sightings Forum thread for Texas sightings. Do you have any sightings you’d like to share with your fellow Transformers fans? Swing on by the Sightings Forum and share the love for your area. Who knows, you might find out that toys you’ve been looking for have been nearby. Real nearby.

Really now, if they didn't have the gimmick, they'd just be cybertronian versions of the cassette-formers, and collectors would still buy the masterpiece versions over them. It's not like these prevented something else from being made.
Foster
These are like the old Battlechargers. Ruined by the auto-tf gimmick.
WoundSave
my kids love them, I only have laserbeak so far and my two daughters fight over who gets to play with him. If you want show accurate there's always the masterpiece cassettes
Kantus Prime
Except the quadruped mold, kind of a chore than a quick TF fix…. Still love it though.
ZacWilliam
These are GREAT legends size figures and the two packs are a great deal.
They are rediculously fun to TF back and forth.
-ZacWilliam, if you don't love these guys you don' love fun toys.

I like these. They're fun and my son loves them. Also, since some are hit and miss, I have no problem giving him those that don't really look like their G1 counterparts (Steeljaw, Eject, etc.) But Laserbeak and Ratbat are terrific!
YoungPrime
Agreed.
Indeed.
It's a matter of taste.
Some people just can't see themselves paying $10 for Happy Meal quality figures w/o even getting the darn Happy Meal with it….
Yeah that has to be the reason…
Oh wait…The figures I do actually find "purchase worthy" are fun.
puma
its fine. Bumblebee3 should have clarified in the original post he made. He is known for finding stuff first which is why i assumed myself they were bought in retail. I received my 2 sets from HTS on the 16th.
Kantus Prime
Is it just my computer, or are these images really small?
Optimus Clyde
DAMN! SO my bad. I completely misinterpreted that.

Some people don't know how to have fun with their toys. I'm excited about these too!
puma
These were purchased at HASBRO TOY SHOP. Not retail.

They are REALLY fun toys. Clicking them back and forth and springing them open is immensely fun. The cats are a tiny bit weak, but the rest are awesome.
I would love Someone to do Glit, Rosanna, Flipsides, SCROUNGE(!) and more. I'd buy em all.
-ZacWilliam, seriously if you want G1 lookers buy the MP cause they do look awesome, but if you want FUN TOYS you could not buy yourself or the kid in your life better than these.

I dig them, they are fun. Plus they go with blaster who even though is a repaint, is like the definitive version of the SW voyager mold lol.
Thundershot
I just wish the birds (and Ratbat) had legs to stand on.

Aw, come on everyone! How can you be so hard on these? We do already have the G1 and masterpiece versions of cassettes… given, these are SUPREMELY compromised by their gimmick… but the gimmick is really fun. They're really fun to eject and monkey around with, which is I think the only real point to these. They're like… solid 95% gimmick.
Thinking back to the original Laserbeak, really you're just waving him around in your hand like he's flying. You don't care about his articulation, just that he goes from one mode to the other… in this case, in a fun, automated way.
So I'm cutting these some slack, buying the cheap little inexpensive things, and having a good time. (And yes, getting the highly superior masterpiece cassettes, too. Hope we get some Autobot cassettes in the batch eventually.)
Smashs
I dunno, I picked up 3/4 of the sets from HTS and they showed up last night. I love em. Ramhorn is just awesome.
Thundershot
I have all 3, and Blaster is by far the best looking. Colors and sculpt work perfectly. He even has the Marvel Blaster shades up on his head.
minimaster
+1 on both counts, i wish i could get my Ratbat to stand more vertically.
they're fun little toy to mess around with. Shame the lion/Steeljaw is only available with Blaster. (I know it's a Ravage remold)
Thundershot
Much like the PCC limbs, these could have been so much cooler if they weren't auto-transforming. I still like them though.
I want more packs… Like one with Rosanna and Glit (Rewind/Ravage repaints), Howlack and Garboil (Ravage/Lserbeak repaints), Wingthing and Enemy (Ratbat/Rumble repaints), Stripes and Nightstalker (Ravage/Steeljaw repaints) and then Twincast with Flipsides (Rewind repaint). (Poor Blaster has two traitorous cassettes…)
