Graphy is an Autobot Mini-Cassette from The Headmasters portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
CAW! We are the people. We will poop on you.

Graphy (グラフィ Gurafi) is one of the Autobot Mini-Cassettes. The aerial intelligence soldier of the group, he is the calmest among them, a stark contrast to his hyper-violent partner Noise. Graphy is an impressive flyer with amazing eyesight.

As a member of the W Cassettebot sub-sub-group, he can combine with Noise to form the robot Decibel.

Toys

The Headmasters

  • Gurafi [sic] (W Cassettebot, 1987)
    • Japanese ID number: C-121
    • Accessories: Left and right "Laser Guns"
Graphy is a mini-cassette that transforms into a red Pteranodon. A pair of silver-chrome laser guns attach to the ends of his wings. In tape mode, he fits into the chest compartment of Blaster or Soundwave (and their retooled reincarnations).
Graphy combines with Noise to form the legs and chestplate of the humanoid robot Decibel. In this form, his guns attach to his legs for added stability.

Notes

  • Graphy's name is likely derived from "[[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}discography|{{#if:||discography}}]]".
  • As one of the vanishingly few toys unique to the Headmasters toy line and something of a tail-ender within the line, Graphy and the other three "dino-cassettes" command ridiculous sums on the secondary market. Their actual rarity is questionable, though; similar "exclusive holy grails" Stepper, Artfire, Twincast, and Soundblaster were uncommon, but not vanishingly rare, yet still commanded top dollar due to overseas perception (until they got reissued, at any rate). As there appear to be no plans to reproduce these cassettes, their high-price status is unlikely to change.
