It's not often that the combining tapes get love in TF fiction...

About time seeing those cassettes in a story.

One question though: are all the designs here based off the DW profile books, because that's the only place I've ever seen Raindance with cannons like Squawktalk's on top of his jet mode. He only came with the missiles for under his wings. Granted that looks cool enough that I bought extra cannons just for that purpose, but it continues a trend of those 2 always being either incorrectly drawn or mistransformed, even in the most comprehensive guidebooks and the official checklist. It's partly because Slamdance's design makes for versatile weapons placement, with extra room on his shoulders and legs to stack up other cassette guns. A spare Overkill missile pod goes great on his other shoulder opposite the main cannon.
Why they haven't reissued these 4 and the 4 dino-combiner cassettes yet is beyond me. Maybe an issue with the molds, but I sure hope not.

I was REALLY excited reading this one. You never see these guys in any fiction....well at least of any significance.
This is a fun mosaic for me. I would have liked SquawkBox be a bit tougher looking but who cares really. It's just good to see these characters get some time in the spotlight. Or at least remembered.
Thanx for the great mosaic!

Thank you!

More of them in the chapters of Omega Supreme and Shockwave/Soundwave of our larger project, Seeds of Deception. There is also a SoD Blaster story on the way, with LOTS of Cassettes as guests!
Special bonus: character study for part 3 of the miniseries.

See, everything that comes out of that project is like Gold mixed with Plasma and Diamonds except it's drawings and writing. Really excited since more cassettes probably means OverKill and at least RatBat(wondering how he goes from humanoid to cassette anyways) who are some of my favorite Cassetticons.
