Notes[]
- Cassette Bats are among the few animalistic breeds of Mini-Cassettes to not be given an official name.
- Wingthing is only portrayed as a Cassette Bat in both Transformers Animated and various Generation 1 toys, being portrayed elsewhere as an Action Master partner.
- Likewise, Skar is exclusively portrayed as a Cassette Bat only in the Generations Selects toyline, being portrayed elsewhere as a Powermaster.
- The "Aligned" continuity family incarnations of Cassette Bats are capable of being reformatted into other types of Mini-Cons. For example, Ratbat is depicted as a Torpedo in the 2015 Transformers: Robots in Disguise toyline.
