The BTS-05A figures will also receive 2 alternate decos:

Each figure will come with 'Batteries' that turn into the Piledrivers for BTS-05A (That actually extended but isn't shown) or Cannons/Boosters for BTS-05B.
Nightfang is actually capable of combining with either of the BTS-05A figures in a sort of Micro-Cassette Combiner or Actionmaster Partner fashion too:

Why HasTak couldn't have just done these for their Classics releases of Rumble and Frenzy is beyond me.

These look shocking.

Except Nightfang. There's something interesting going on there but it's hard to tell from the drawings.

Those...look...interesting...? I guess. BTW if anyone wants sonicron he's on sale at BBTS for 29.95. Man. I should get one if these are coming out...

Nightfang is interesting as we are yet to get a proper 'classics' Ratbat but the other guys are pretty shocking. I am sure that there will be a lot of bashing in the International sites like that exclusive PowerMaster Prime armor that looks real strange.

I'm inclined to agree, I think they've got a real winner with Savage and Nightfang especially; if they can manage to sort out the hip region of BTS-05A then I might reconsider, but I'm pretty damn happy with my PE Not-Rumble & Frenzy at the moment. :)

those humanoid cassettes are so damn ugly. the only redeeming design is nightfang which i can even picture in my head.

Nightfang is looking good, well it's just a sketch for now so will wait and see if it's good in the final product, the rest is all rubbish.

They are without style like many gobots were. Nightfang tho has it :cool:

They look too G1, and not in a good way, they don't seem to add much more than a few extra joints.

Nightfang might be ok, but I by far prefer TakToms Rumble and Frenz, while cassettes were cool in the 80's it's all kinda a bit retro now, like in that Robot Chicken skit. I have no problem when Soundwave and the cassettes update their alt modes to something more relevant.

I don't think they are too G1 - The G1 cassettes looked a lot better!

These look like Rumble Frenzy got attacked by Mugatoo (zoolander reference) fashion. Ick!

Hmm I semi-like that not-rat bat. Did not like the Perfect-Effect one.

Other than that, these all look meh.

G1 Frenzy and Rumble iz where it's all at, them the sexiest cassettes 'round da block.
