- Squawktalk is a Decepticon Mini-Cassette from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Squawktalk can request a cracker in over 6500 languages. He loves to hear bizarre languages and dialects, as he finds it soothing and relaxing. To this end, he talks constantly, even when he has nothing to say. This has not particularly endeared him to his comrades, who eagerly await for Squawktalk to have to translate something—even if it won't shut him up, at least he'll be talking about something important.
Squawktalk can combine with Beastbox to form Squawkbox.
- French-Canadian name: Loquace
