Mini-Cassette

Mini-Cassettes (also known as Cassette Warriors, Cassette-Bots, Infiltration Troopers, or simply Cassettes) are a subspecies of small-sized Cybertronians from the planet Cybertron.

Anatomy
Mini-Cassettes share a similar biology to other Cybertronians, except they are about the same size as Humans and transform into audio cassettes. Mini-Cassettes have different types of robot modes, with the most common including:
 * Avianoids such as Laserbeak, Buzzsaw, Sundor, Garboil, and Squawktalk
 * Felines such as Ravage, Steeljaw, Stripes, Howlback, and Glit
 * Humanoids such as Rumble, Frenzy, Rewind, and Eject
 * Iguanodons such as Dile, Dairu, and Uriad
 * Apatosauruses such as Zaur, Zauru, and Uruaz

Animalistic Mini-Cassettes exclusive to the Autobots include Ramhorn, who is a rhinoceros; Graphy, who is a Pteranodon; and Noise, who is an Allosaurus. Animalistic Mini-Cassettes exclusive to the Decepticons include Ratbat and Wingthing, who are both bats; Beastbox, who is a gorilla; Overkill, who is a Ceratosaur; and Slugfest, who is a Stegosaurus.

Alternative alternate modes for Mini-Cassettes include electric guitars, keytars, and Cybertronian data disks.

Powers and abilities
Mini-Cassettes share many of the same abilities as Cybertronians.

Mini-Cassettes can generally fit into the chest compartments of Cybertronians such as Soundwave and Blaster.

Culture and society
Many of the Mini-Cassettes have communication or espionage roles. While they are commonly affiliated with either the Autobots or the Decepticons, incarnations of Buzzsaw are alternatively affiliated with the Mercenaries.

In the Malgus cluster, Mini-Cassettes exist as Cybertronians created on Earth using AllSpark fragments.
