I will never not hope for a Buzzsaw until one gets released   but whatever tapes they want to release is fine by me. I'm currently using TR Overboard and Ramhorn as targetmasters for Soundwave and Blaster, so at the very least they have representation at the right size (tapes would be better though).

 

Thanks for the heads up, @Fenrys!

I've got all 3 colours pre-ordered from Show Z.
I'm only now discovering how user-friendly they are to get stuff sent to Australia. Terrific!

I think the green set would work as a Decepticon variant. When I look at them I see Micromaster Roughstuff's colour scheme, so I think it kinda fits.

I really want to mix and match this set, much moreso than Chatter who only looks right in the prescribed colour combinations.
I think mixing the black and green variants will look awesome thanks to the green variant having black detailing.

~L~

 

I'll probably give the G1 colors to Blaster, green to Twincast (since Blaster will be stealing Rewind) and black to Soundblaster.

 

Sounds like a solid playlist to me.  

~L~

 

So you’re saying you want to make a mix-tape?  

 

So I think I'll be calling the green version Skytread (since Siege Slamdance and Skytread aka Flywheels shared a mold) so now I just need to come up with a name for the black version of both Squawkbox and Slamdance, and not just Nemesis/Black Slamdance/Squawkbox.

 

You win!  

~L~

 

just having fun spit-balling here...
Squawkbox b:
bird - ScreeMix
ape - Burn Tape (he loves Epic Rap Battles of History, and also homophone of "burnt ape")
combine - MixTape

Slamdance b:
jet - High Pitch (double entendre for frequency and soot)
tank - Track Slap (has beef with Burn Tape)
combine - Pitch Slap

 

I like those, though I may change the 1st one to Sonic Mix for the bird

 

Bigbad put the squad up. Whew.

 

Out next month! Supposedly at least.

 

What are these supposed to be? Are this from the comics or something?

 

They're G1 Grandslam and Raindance, Blasters cassette combiner from G1 - iirc they aren't featured in much other media, and definitely not on screen

 

Blaster's combiner tapes, the counterparts to Soundwave's Beastbox & Squawktalk. They were barely in the G1 comics from Marvel, but never even transformed, though they do have a profile write-up in the "More Than Meets The Eye" compendium that Marvel did at that time.

 

preordered the og colors and the green colors on BBTS

kicking around getting the black deco as well but i'm not sure for what purpose so i'm on the fence.

 

Hilarious that I'm probably gonna have these guys before we get an official Ramhorn, Rewind, or Steeljaw.

 

I like the recolors, but man, I wish I could have a black jet with a green tank.

Lol, anyone want a green jet with a black tank?

 

got my PO in!

 

Do you have a Soundblaster? The Dr Wu black scouts and Chatter go a long way to giving Soundblaster some tapes and this guy would fit in well with them

 

I've also had great service from TFSafari, and purchased (too) many upgrade kits from them. I also bought both my Chatters/Squawktalks from them. Postage is slow from China, but that's not TFSafari's fault, and I can track the slow progress easily enough online.

Good news! The Dacia Sandero- They just put Sword Dancer/Slamdance up for pre-order:

• G1 deco
• 2pk of all-black and green & black decos
