I was wondering the same thing. I see Eject, Rewind, Steeljaw, and Slamdance, but those other two have me baffled.

The other two might be considered "practice run" cassette combiners. They were only released in Japan in 1987 (the year before Slamdance and Squalkbox). All four of the cassettes were Autobots and dinosaurs. The one on the left of Slamdance is made up of an aerial dinosaur-type (presumably Pteradon, but well, these were bad) and a dino that looks remarkably similar to Overkill. The one on the right is made of a vaguely T-Rex dino and something like an Apatosaurus. They looked pretty bad both seperately and combined (which is probably why they were never released outside of Japan), so unless you really are a completionist, there's not much reason to seek them out. Slamdance and Squalktalk really are much better. Sorry I can't supply names, but I don't read Japanese and only have the reference for them from the Transformers Generations book (where the only English is the name and function of TFs released in the US and UK).

I just found out who the 2 'bots flanking Slamdance are:
The pterosaur (Gurafi) + t-rex (Noizu) gestalt is Decibel.
The brontosaurus (Dairu) + lizard (Zauru) gestalt is Legout.
When you're looking at the pic, I think the 'bot to the left of Slamdance is Decibel (I couldn't find a pic of Legout to make sure).
