    I believe the ones that came with Bumblebee were Zauru and Uriad. They were a sauropod and raptor.

    Daaaaamn! Hasbro is really giving us all. The rarest G1 casettes ever, now available for a mere 35$ with an extra Rumble (Frenzy). And no bad Bee movie toys attached this time either!
    I have the KOs but needless to say, instantly preordered. I cannot see any errors or differences here, unlike on Zaur with the raised bumpes on the hinges.

    Oh and love their G1 style bios. I don't think they had such extensive ones originally. Nice that it mentions Noizu's hero is Grimlock and that they work with Twincast - and it gives some nice details on their personalities too. :D

    Ok, so I got part of my wish. Shame the packaging is not going to be available for both pairs in the same way for collectors, at this time. I would imagine that they would have sold 90% less of the Bumblebee's if they released those cassettes like this before, especially when people needed 2 sets for singles & combiner sets. My only question now is this: where are my Decepticon versions in the alt coloring?

    As to the Frenzy, so many people are gonna wanna either return him as defective due to the stickers/legs or not want this at all due to it not representing any release version they are familiar with. As a collector of this type of item, I have no interest in what looks like a horrible reproduction of Frenzy. Especially when you get the more authentic duo pack at Walmart coming for one issue of him. Another genius decision on a toy that must have been left over in some manner & needed to be sold.

    Well, DAMN. I forgot Hasbropulse does not accept Paypal, just cards (why not, in 2019??? Apart from stupid Amazon and its used by nobody else service, who else does not accept Paypal?) - and I just cancelled my Mastercard recently given that I changed to a treasury fund from an investment account. And my Maestro is not useable for online purchase outside the country.
    Guess I need to ask a friend for help again...

    His stickers are correct, it's the legs that are on the wrong sides.

    <rolls up sleeves> This got VERY confusing at the time

    FOUR Combining Tapes W Cassettebot

    Dile & Zaur, who form Legout

    Graphy & Noise, who form Decibel

    Dile was reissued as Dairu in Studio Series 19 Bumblebee Vol. 1 Retro Rock Garage along with Uruaz, a clear Decepticon repaint of Zaur

    Zaur was reisued as Zauru in Studio Series 20 Bumblebee Vol. 2 Retro Pop Highway along with Uriad, a clear Decepticon repaint of Dile.

    You needed both packs to form Legout and what is presumably called Tuogel.

    This is the first time Graphy, Noise & Decibel have been re-released though this precise pack, with Frenzy, was listed/rumoured a year ago: Encore Noise, Graphy, and New Color Frenzy

    Bought, but the odd bot out bothers me. OCD demands the other half of FIRRIBRIBFIR, I hope he's getting a reissue too shortly.

    Huh. Maybe it's just for display at the Con? Because, while they're still connected, the back art is flipped.

    Anyone else notice the tiny red dot painted on Frenzy's head? Wonder why the extra paint app?
