- Noise is an Autobot Mini-Cassette from the Headmasters portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Noise (ノイズ Noizu) is one of the Autobot Cassettebots. A "forest investigation" bot, he is their most violent member (worse than Ramhorn? Yikes), and his fangs and claws are the strongest out of all of them. Noise idolizes his fellow dinosaur, Grimlock.
As a member of the W Cassettebot sub-sub-group, he can combine with his partner Graphy to form the robot Decibel.
Toys
The Headmasters
- Noizu [sic] (W Cassettebot, 1987)
- Japanese ID number: C-122
- Accessories: Left & right "Fire Blasters"
- Noise is a mini-cassette that transforms into what appears to be a blue Allosaurus. In tape mode, he fits into the chest compartment of Blaster or Soundwave (and their retooled reincarnations). Two silver "Fire Blaster" guns plug into the faux cassette tape holes by his arms.
- Noise combines with Graphy to form the top half of the humanoid(-ish) robot Decibel. Noise's cannons become over-shoulder cannons for Decibel.
Vintage G1
- Mini-Cassettes 3-Pack (Multipack, August 8 2019)
- Accessories: Left and right "Fire Blasters"
- In a surprise move, Noise (now called "Noizu" because of stupid reasons) was reissued as part of the Vintage G1 series, in a 3-pack alongside "Gurafi" and -inexplicably- "Decepticon Frenzy". This version came on a retro-styled 2-pack card with Graphy, with Frenzy all alone on his own same-size card.
- This set was revealed when it went up for preorder on Hasbro Pulse on the first day of San Diego Comic-Con 2019... despite not being announced at the show at all.
Notes
- As one of the vanishingly few toys unique to the Headmasters toy line and something of a tail-ender within the line, Noise 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).
