"Broadcast," the Autobot communications specialist, and "Steeljaw"—leader of the Cassettebots under his command—join the MPG lineup.
Broadcast transforms from a radio-cassette recorder into a robot, while Steeljaw transforms from a cassette tape into a lion-like robot. The figure also recreates the "Alternate Transformation Mode" seen in Episode 33 of the animated series, "Operation: Survival." In this Alternate Transformation Mode, the legs are articulated, allowing for the recreation of walking scenes.
Pressing the switch on Broadcast's abdomen opens his chest, allowing the Steeljaw figure (in cassette tape mode) to be stored inside. The figure can also accommodate the "MPG-24 Eject & Amhorn" units (sold separately); up to two cassette tapes can be stored at once. Included accessories are Broadcast's Electro-Scrambler Gun and Steeljaw's Solar-Power Pellet Gun. A monitor panel can be mounted inside Broadcast's chest. Also included is the megaphone used in Episode 51, "Broadcast vs. Soundwave," which can be attached to either of Broadcast's arms. Sound wave effect parts are included; these can be attached to Broadcast in device mode or to the tip of the megaphone.
A swappable head featuring the smiling expression seen in *The Transformers: The Movie* is also included. Steeljaw (in cassette tape mode) can be stored in theincluded barrier case.
