More Cassettes for Soundwave and Blaster?

I think we all want more cassettes for Soundwave and Blaster. Honestly though, all Im hoping for at this point is a Selects box like they did with Soundwave. Give us Eject, Rewind, Steeljaw and Ramhorn, in their proper colors, at mass release. I dont want to buy a recolored Perceptor just to get a second Ratbat and Ramhorn.

Random idea, but turn the Action Master partners into cassettes. They've already done Wingthing from Ratbat, and that scorpion design could be tweaked into Scorpulator. Maybe Steeljaw as Lionizer or Laserbeak as Sights. Have the removable weapon chunks that most cassettes use double as an adapter for their weapon modes for the bulks.

I was thinking something similar, but Battle Masters. A lot of them can kind of fall into a few mold categories (Glitch/Fistfight/Push-Button/maybe Anti-Tank Drone, Scorpulator/Razor-sharp, Vanguard/Road Rocket/Basher).

I want a tape that turns into a motorcycle.

That does look very familiar. I do recall seeing the Microchange Laserbeak (in that packaging) in person more vividly (I know I definitely had a "damn, should've gotten that" moment after I came back and saw it had been sold). Maybe I only saw this online later on. (Googling it now, there was also a neat little helicopter one!)

I also vaguely remember some comic-style color artwork of this being ridden in a desert setting, but I may be hallucinating.

(Googling also reveals that this was among the cycle molds brought back for Microman in 1999, along with the helicopter.)

It's the Cassette Machine Battle Bike HG90 from Micro Change.

That's right. I was trying to place it within memory as the thing I saw, and where I might have seen it.

Love this packaging. That circuit board background, in fairly accurate green no less... Lovely.

Yup. Somehow the corner store where I went with my Grandpa went to buy the Sunday paper after church every week had a two pack of both of the Cassette Machines in their tiny toy section for a while when I was a kid, but at the time I wasn't really interested in it because I was into the *real* Transformers, not that fake knock-off stuff. 🙃

The bloody one is an alien chestburster. I find that idea funny for a tape minion. (obviously) I have a few of the alien cassettes listed on ebay.
That's what I figured it was, but I began to wonder if for some reason it was a homicidal manatee or something.
