That's including Japanese post-G1, toy only, and others I might be missing.

Currently known Soundwave minions:
Laserbeak
Ravage
Rumble
Frenzy
Ratbat
Buzzsaw
Overkill
Slugfest?
Beastbox
Squaktalk
Howlback
Garboil
Uriad
Uruad
Zauru
Dairu
Canyon drone
Enemy
Wingthing
Flipsides
Glit
Sundor

Thats soundwaves. So yeah just bored and thought I'd ask how many chest minions did soundwave have.

EDIT 2: Blaster apparently has 15 Canon chest minions:
Rewind
Eject
Ramhorn
Steeljaw
Dile
Zaur
Graphy
Noise
Raindance
Grand Slam
Rosanna
Sundor
Flip-sides
Nightstalker
Stripes

so once again soundwave is superior.

EDIT 1: 12 added. Bringing the total to 22. Wow. That's a lot of chest minions.

Thank you!

As if anyone's surprised he came through.

This might help if you ignore the Autobot ones.

There's Howlback and Garboil for toys but I'm not sure if they're Soundwave's or just Decepticon tapes.

 

They are most likely just rando tapes.

 

Don't forget that little rover cassette that went down into the canyon with the crystals.

 

Glit and Flipsides
Wingthing, Enemy, and Nightstalker.

Pretty sure dairu and zauru are autobots.

 

I consider 10 on each side (Autobot/ Decepticon). I don't care about the repaints that weren't in the American G1 cartoon. Came up with my own American names for the Autobot dinosaur tapes:

Decepticons:
Rumble
Frenzy
Ravage
Buzzsaw
Laserbeak
Ratbat
Beastbox
Squawktalk
Overkill
Slugfest

Autobots:
Eject
Rewind
Steeljaw
Ramhorn
Grand Slam
Raindance
Dial
Noise
Bass
Treble

My God.

 

Updated my list.

 

This one did get a toy, in 2010. Came in one of the souvenir sets.

 

Fixed:

Ravage (first fictional appearance 2009, BotCon exclusive toy released in 2010, as a redeco of Universe Ravage from 2008; colors based on Decepticon Glit)

 

Chest minions sounds cool, I'd like to call my female friends that  

 

Too many.

Careful, that could be a Rule 2 violation.

 

As many as he needs.

 

Not unless he posts indecent images of his female friends here.

Seriously, do people actually understand rule 2?

It does not say that acknowledging the existence of women is forbidden...

 

Can you be a Casseticon but not be specifically tied to Blaster or Soundwave?

First rule of TF Club- talking about the opposite gender is strictly forbidden.

Second rule of TF Club- consult the opposite gender if it’s okay to join TF Club.

 

The cool thing to me about the tapes is, if they don't make an MP of some of the more obscure ones, you can simply use the G1 tapes in their place, since they are the same size as MP.

 

Do Tigatron and Cheetus count as Blaster's minions since they transform into memory sticks that can attach to his lap top mode in the Device Label line?

 

so Soundwave has a lot chest minions
