    Overkill looks like a turkey.

    To be fair, his TR one had a turkey mode, so it kinda works?

    Now, lets hope these are better than the old KFC ones.

    Not to say Modern KFC is bad, but the old KFC ones were garbage.

    I'm happy with the KFC ones, I certainly wouldn't call them garbage. This slugfest might be a hair better.

    The only tapes of theirs I hate is the slamdance set, so fiddly. I hope someone else does those.

    Yeah, the legs are a bit strange.

    Slugfest looks amazing though. I also think that the set should have been called "Fred and Barney", but that's just me.

    I get the Barney reference. Don't get the other one.

    Edit: Just realized it. Fight Club reference. Slugfest=Fight Club Tyler Durden

    I hope they tested the fit in a Generation One Soundwave and Soundblaster as well as the MP type cassette Bay - some don't fit in both and that is kinda annoying when that happens.

    I would say the same thing to Takara too with their new cassettes also.

    Slugfest is alright I suppose, but Overkill looks atrocious in both modes. how does that even remotely look like a cassette?

    These look pretty cute. I\'d buy them, but Takara will probably announce official Masterpiece versions tomorrow.

    Tempting. I might have to get these at some points. At least the QC should be better than KFC's cassettes.

    Hmm. I already have the KFC versions, and like 'em fine, but no reason not to get these too since I have two MP Soundwaves. :)

    I have and like the KFC versions, but I'll probably get these as well because I really like how they look. Plus, I'm a sucker for cassette bots.

    As many have pointed out, I agree Slugfest looks great. But that Overkill... I almost never have criticisms about design choices, but that Overkill looks like he fell down some stairs. I'd be okay if he actually looked like some kind of dinosaur. Heck, even if he looked like some kind of lizard. He just looks like a supremely pissed off shaven hamster chicken to me.

    Darn, I don't collect Masterpiece, but I do want Soundwave someday, might have to start getting his cassette buddies when I can... 'cause these guys are adorable. I love Ceratosaurs!
