Velocitron band

The Velocitron band is a band from the Unicron Trilogy.

What kind of Transformers society evolves the need for a trombone player?

The Velocitron band is a group of no fewer than fifteen Transformers who appear to perform at important racing events on the planet Velocitron.

Led by a drum major, the band consists of four cymbalists, three snare drummers, two bass drummers, a trombone player, a saxophone player, a musician on an unidentified brass instrument, and at least four others.

One cymbalist and one snare drummer seem to be female, as they resemble the Nekomimis.
