Hey i was woundering, Does a casset master have to be a cassetplayer of some sort, or is it poseble for them to other things?

And another thing, how many casset-bots can a casset master hold?

By cassette masters I take it your talking about Blaster and Soundwave (Later Twincast and Soundblaster)

Soundwave and Blaster could each hold one cassette.

Twincast and Soundblaster could hold two cassettes. All four changed into cassette players.

In the G1 cartoon, soundwave was shown as a.... Streetlight.... in the first episode. He was also shown to dispatch Laserbeak shortly after so I guess in the toon at least they didn't need to be Cassette players. Don't know if it occurs in any of the other fictions tho.

In the cartoon series, when is in space (what i call G2) part of the series.
In the ep. Primetives, soundwave ejects about 5 cassets (or so i recall), and Blaster 2 cassets, one after another in one scene!
And in the cartoon series headmasters, after blaster turnes into twincast, all of his 4 casset-bots transformes all (the opposet of ejec) into him in a raow, so must mean that they hold more then one!

But anyways, to get back to the point of why i need to know, is that i thinking of maybe using it in the RPG, so what is you guys take on it?

Eject as many as you want, its your character. Tho I wouldn't go much higher than 4, keep it sort of realistic, my answer was from the toy line. In comic lore Blaster could carry 4, but Soundwave only could carry one.

Then what about a fast car with a unique built in sound system like G1 Jazz?

It's not becurs i what to use that sound thema they always run on.
I'm thinking, using the technoligi from them, and making a comando strike forc! Having a normal alt. mode like other transformers, nothing to do with sound at all, and then having the capabelity to use casset-bots!
What you say?

Then go for it. It sounds very interesting. If you were a vehicle the cassette 'bots could travel inside as passengers!

Just in reference to the above posts. I have a character [albeit secondary] called Warstorm who uses similar tech but has cylinders rather than cassettes. (think cybertron: soundwave)

He has three distinct variations: Shatterhorn [rhino type drone], killereagle [bird type drone] and Widow [spider type drone]. Stored on his person or in his chest compartment. They are non sentient though and follow his commands telepathically, thus when they are destroyed he can easily replace them by building more.

Correct Goldbug, Soundwave and Blaster both had a Cybertronian vehicle form.

Man, sounds like cartoon Soundwave could pwn comic Soundwave!

While the original Soundwave and Blaster toys could each hold only one cassette minion at a time, i always got the impression that the characters could carry as many as they wanted. (In TFTM, both launched four without any "reloading".) Where did you read that comic Blaster could carry four and comic Soundwave only one? and which comics--Marvel G1, Dreamwave, or IDW?

...Not Madman, apparently.

I'm not into the RPG side of things, but if I was, I'd be a Citroen style car... each wheel would be a different robot.
