Talk:Squawkbox

Is this Squawktalk/Beasty Bos's Squakbox's first appearance... anywhere? (Hearts of Steel is awesome.) -Derik 00:23, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it is his Hearts of Steel body.

I'm sorry, 42.246, but that artwork is directly from the B cover to issue 3 of Hearts of Steel, and looks nothing like the toy, and very little like his (rare) appearances in more mainstream G1 continuities. I have no problem with using HoS art for this page (it's not like we have a lot to choose from) but it should be labeled as such. Unless there's massive dissent, I'll restore the caption in the near future. JW 23:43, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

We don't usually have a disclaimer note about what piece of fiction the picture is from. I object. - Starfield 14:35, 23 April 2009 (EDT)

Yes, but usually the main image is of the main/standard version of the character, and not an alternate reality version. I think this is necessary clarification. Though the best answer would really be for someone to track down a different image of Squawkbox, and just move this to the Hearts of Steel section of the page. Unfortunately that is easier said than done :S --Loudstone 14:45, 23 April 2009 (EDT)

I repeat my contention that this isn't his HOS body. -Derik 14:49, 23 April 2009 (EDT)

Official Toy Name

This page lists his G1 toy as "Squawktalk & Beastbox (Micro Cassettes 2-pack, 1988)", but Beastbox and Squawktalk's pages list it as "Beastbox and Squawktalk (Cassette 2-pack, 1988)". Anyone know the official name of the pack (as well as whether Micro Cassettes or Cassette should be standard)? --Loudstone 14:19, 23 April 2009 (EDT)

The catalog for 1988 says "Mini-Cassettes". I think that is what we go by. I don't know about the card. - Starfield 14:32, 23 April 2009 (EDT)
