Transformers Tech Specs
Squawktalk and Beastbox were the gestalt-inspired additions to the Decepticon cassette lineup for 1988. Squawktalk was only slightly inspired by Buzzsaw and Laserbeak from years past, since he transformed completely differently in order to form the lower half of Squawlbox. He and his partner were two of the best-designed creations for this year's Transformers lineup, ironic since it's usually the smallest toys that have the least aesthetic appeal.
