- Dile is an Autobot Mini-Cassette.
Who's got two thumbs and can rapidly detect energy? THIS guy!
Dile (ダイル Dairu) is the Autobots' energy resource scout and a Mini-Cassette. He transforms into a green Iguanodon. His thumbs contain high-powered energy sensors. Unfortunately, Dile has a keen curiosity, bringing him to major system failures when investigating sources of energy.
As a member of the W Cassettebot sub-sub-group, he can combine with his partner Saur to form the humanoid robot Legout.
Notes[]
- As one of the vanishingly few toys unique to the Headmasters toy line and something of a tail-ender within the line, Dile and the other three "dino-cassettes" command ridiculous sums on the secondary market. ($1,000 for the pair is not unknown.) Their actual rarity is questionable, though; similar "exclusive holy grails" Stepper, Artfire, Twincast and Soundblaster were uncommon, but not vanishingly rare, yet still commanded top dollar due to overseas perception (until they got reissued, at any rate). As there appear to be no plans to reproduce these cassettes, their high-price status is unlikely to change.
- A common Romanization of Dile's name is "Dial". However, "Dial" is rendered in Japanese as ダイヤル daiyaru or ダイアル daiaru, not ダイル dairu. Instead, Dile's name seems to be a shortening of "crocodile" (クロコダイル), similar to his partner, Saur.
