I’m addicted to transforming Mixmaster’s legs. They’re everything I want from transforming robot toys. Split cab, Flip the foot out, fold the hood into the space the feet occupied. Simple, easy, little kibble and reshapes the cab/shin drastically.

These are my first Dr. Wu cassettes. They are wonderful! Haven't had time to combine them yet but the individuals are great. I have Slugfest and Overkill on preorder as well. Really looking forward to them as those 2 were always my favorite cassettes growing up.

Those were my first Dr. Wu cassettes, too. I loved them so much that I bought Slamdance and Decibel as soon as they were available, too. I'm a sucker for cassettes, so I'll buy pretty much any of them that Dr. Wu wants to make.

I have 6 new Dr Wu cassettes on the way Slugfest, Overkill, Drone 2 pack, and SG versions of Slugfest and Overkill. Tariffs weren't as awful as I was afraid they might be. Photos incoming as soon as they arrive!

I'm waiting for them to be sold fully before buying them from Show Z. The Autobot drone cassettes are in their way to me now though. No tarrifs on mine, I believe.

These are pretty neat. I've idly thought about getting this to rechristen the drone "Blockrock", but I may just repurpose SG Laserbeak as that.

Has any 3P (like Dr Wu, who makes these) ever made an Autoscout at WFC scale? All I've seen so far is that one Funbie Studios 3d printed one. And the blue one here's too different.

I've got an Autoscout, but I think it was an MP scaled one?

I've given my Drone and Rover Autobot stickers as their colours seem to match Optimus Prime more so than Soundwave for me. Also, as neither have weapons and seem to be more exploratory, I felt they should be Autobots.

Btw, why did they include mini versions of Rumble and Frenzy?

I was going to ask you all that question. I have no idea why they are in the set, or even how they fit together correctly. I'm going to try to mess around with them over the weekend to see if I can figure them out.

I think the limbs are on ball joints, which are then sandwiches between the front and back of the body pieces. Meta-wise, maybe it's just extra plastic that could be used on the toy sprues? Lore-wise, maybe they each have a mini-mini cassette pilot?
