I think they're Twincast's combiner cassettes.
I thought the cassettebot 'pre-powerlink' combiner was Grandslam and Raindance making Slamdance...

Ooh...I thought they were both combiners...maybe TFU.info has some information.
it sorta does... Legout and Decible are likely the repaints like Soundblaster then... given ther function: Cybertron Information Gestalt Warrior.

Yes, I couldn't find any pictures to be certain. I do note, however, that TFU.info doesn't say that they are recolours of a pre-existing mold, though, and there seems to be no mention of one combining with the other.

The TF Wiki says this of Legout, "Legout is the younger brother of Decibel. What relationship this gives his components Dial and Zaur to Decibel is unclear," and this of Decibel, "Decibel is the older brother of Legout. What relationship this gives his components Noise and Graphy to Legout is unclear, possibly they're half-siblings. Ha!"

They must be combined forms of smaller robots (Dial & Zaur and Noise & Graphy, respectively). I thought that Legout and Decibel combined but it appears I was mistaken.
So did I. Wondered what there combined name was too. Deciout, Legibel, Outibel or Belout...

If they are from 1987 I'ld think the cassette mold would have been used outside of Japan once. Then again, there are a few cassettecons (though they could be 4 bots) that price over $400 and i've only really heard there names once on this board...

I guess it's possible.

From J.E. Alvarez's "The Unofficial Guide to Japanese and International Transformers," Decibel is formed by Gurafi (pterosaur) & Noizu (t-rex), while Legout is formed by Dairu (brontosaurus) & Zauru (lizard). The book has a few pics of Decibel, Gurafi, & Noizu, but none of Legout/Dairu/Zauru. The book makes no mention of whether Decibel's components can interchange with Legout's.

Looking at the cover, Decibel is to the left of Slamdance.

Those would be the four $400 cassettebots then. surprisingly they've been applied for on the Seib's RPG here with psuedo reference links.

good find ;)^

No but there may have only been about 1000 of each made. With easily twice that number of Soundwave/ Broadcast fans among the collector community they could be considered the holy grail of TF Cassettes.

Yes and No.

They combine more like the Energon Powerlinking combination, rather than a Gestalt combining.

yeppers Auto Bot, like the other animal cassettecon combiner SqualkBox, or Duocon BattleTrap, or even OverLord.

Two dino cassettes combine into one mini dinobot. Not in Grimlock's ranks though :wink:
