1:24 It's funny to imagine Jazz dropped whatever he was working on the second he heard the music so he could rush in and groove.

[@SardonicCrows]

I love that everyone always reacts to that song like it's the most intense and abrasive death metal ever recorded but it's just Jazz Fusion

[@chancylvania]

Professors in the transformers universe don’t have to justify their spending. They just spend money on stuff that has already been proven.

[@Isaac-gh5ku]

I think that is typical for a syndicated 80s cartoons.

[@tannerprice2018]

Blaster is a pretty underrated character. In the Marvel comic he was the Autobot version of The Punisher, and in this cartoon he’s basically Jazz 2.0. But honestly, it’d be useful for the Autobots to have their own communications officer, as well as a fun music buddy for Jazz.

[@UToobUsername01]

Yes they made him more "cool" than "badass". What they should have done is split the autobots into two teams. One for special ops that takes all the dangerous stuff (it would be small team of the best that don't rely on backup and survive alone) and then the main team for all the regular mission. The special ops guys would be able to act independently of optimus prime and Blaster would be leader. (most of the people on the team prefer to work alone so maybe chuck in a dinobot in there for fun or have cliff jumper do some crazy stuff that gets everyone into trouble for humour so missions get even more dangerous than normal) The problem with G1 is at the time cartoons had to be appealing to children and comics seemed to get away with more mature themes. The cartoons always had to have a moral message to them because they were broadcast to a wide audience. These days you can get away with more mature stuff. (eg in Transformers Prime Cliffjumper is killed right in the beginning. That would not happen in the 1980s) I believe if hasbro rebooted G1 with Transformers Prime's budget it would be great way to bring it up to 2021 standards where people can die, get damaged badly enough and be out of action for weeks, or just disappear MIA for a long stretch so it's like a semi-permanent death to make the action more suspensful and characters can stand out more. Blaster to me was like the TF equivalent of Cable from X-men. It was about the 1990s that the restirctions were loosened a bit. Perfect example is Morph getting "killed" and that made wolverine go berserk and stop trusting in Cyclops as leader. (this kind of drama could be introduced into the reboot of G1 where Blaster and Grimlock and Cliffjumper decide to form seperate team that is not dependent so much on what Optimus Prime thinks and they actually succeed a lot so are given more authority to work independently if they meet a standard of success rate in missions done) If you look at Jazz's bio he is spec ops guy. He and Blaster would be the founders of the team 2 and a third team could be made out of the first. (made up of younger autobots of future that want to act independently of team 1 sort of like how you got the Teen Titans as 'the discount justice league' in DC universe hehe)

[@athlonen]

You should have seen the battle Blaster and Soundwave had in the Headmasters series. Neither of them survived.

[@UToobUsername01]

@@shaquilleoatmeal911 Because he is more about jamming signals in electronic warfare than spying. I like to think blaster is all about noise (using music to distract people just like Jazz) and soundwave is all about recording conversations to gain intel. One is counter intelligence (feed enemy bad info) and the other is intelligence (gain plans of the autobots to stop them). Blaster likes loud music, soundwave is extremely quiet and sneaky. Polar opposites of each other. One can use loud music to mask other sounds to make people deaf so they can't hear anything else, while the other tries to avoid making noise so the cassettes can hide. One is red (signals to enemy to pay attention or alert) and the other is blue (calm color that doesn't stand out as much) One looks like a regular outgoing extroverted character, and the other looks like a ninja wearig a face mask and has an introverted personality. Soundwave has no charisma as the other decepticons say in the movie - perhaps because he has to be impartial if he is to spy on everyone in the organisation (eg starscream plot to overthrow megatron through betrayal) so making friends would compromise his job. No favourites! His job is to treat everyone with equal suspicion, But Blaster likes to be friendly to people being into music and having culture.

When you think of Transformers best episodes, Blaster Blues isn't the first thing to come mind but there's a lot going on here. The 1985 line getting phased in, battles on Earth and the moon. Omega,Cosmos and Astrotrain fighting it out in deep space and a good characterization of Blaster. It's an underrated episode if ever there is one.

[@martinefrensoquigomez7835]

[@foxfireinferno197]

Powerglide's "Bang, zoom, to the moon!" is an interesting reference. PG's voice actor based the voice on the late great Jackie Gleason, who portrayed Ralph Kramden on 'The Honeymooners'. Ralph would often say "Bang, zoom" as an empty threat to his wife, miming a punch (as in, hit her so hard she goes to the moon). Other times, he'd just say "To the moon, Alice!" To the extent of my knowledge, he never combined the two into a single phrase, though. This is also why PG has a penchant for saying "And awaaaaaay we go!"

[@duanebarry2817]

If only they had all been drawn this well. Episodes like The Core. If that episode had looked as good as this, it would have really made a difference to how good it was. It is a phenomenal episode that is held back by the animation.

[@houseofno]

Actually The Core was one of the earlier Akom episodes. City of Steel is another Akom work. Akom is largely considered to be cheaper and inferior quality to Toei's. Akom being significantly less expensive is probably why they went with Akom for all of season 3 and the abbreviated season 4. Transformers G1 enthusiasts have created virtually a cottage industry of pointing out Akom animation and coloration errors.

[@SuperMookles]

@@houseofno I'm not sure that's correct. Season 3 had a few standout episodes that definitely weren't akom trashfires - Call of the Primitives springs to mind.

[@JoseBronxRican]

@@houseofno The industry's wrong on this one. I've been busy refuting the Akom talk in Season 2. Those three eps were not theirs. Everyone's aware of the existence of the Spider-Man and Hulk series - also from Marvel - and should have realized it's a very different South Korean studio that Marvel hired for those. A better one in my opinion. Errors, some sloppiness and very dull colors, to be sure, but I give them credit for solid work on human characters and some smooth in-betweening.

The music that is played trought out the Transformers is the same music that also played in Spide-Man, and Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends because is made by Marvel

[@alphatrion100]

Its from the gi joe cartoon. Look up "cold slither". It actually has lyrics.

[@amazing50000]

Yeah, I call it "The Marvel Tune" of the 1980"s

[@houseofno]

It's a cost saving move. Using the same music for different productions saves on having to commission new work. Animated productions were getting expensive by the time the 70s and 80s came along, and computer animation wasn't yet common place or cheap enough to replace traditional hand-drawn animation until around the mid 90s. Do the math. The most common television quality animation was twenty four frames per second. That's twenty four slightly different inked cels every second! Twenty four x sixty seconds x twenty four minutes = 34,560 hand drawn pictures PER CARTOON! Even sending these to relatively cheap animation studios in Japan, Thailand, and the Phillipines. Filmation used American artists exclusively, resulting in much higher quality but also much more expensive animated programs. Marvel Productions was considered to be a better animation studio than Hanna-Barbera's Super Friends (frequent collaborator of Marvel's chief competitor DC Comics) (both studios used overseas animators to cut costs) but look at the animation quality of Filmation's 70's Tarzan, Batman, or even the 1980s He-Man and She-Ra. Filmation's work, in terms of quality, blew Marvel and Hanna Barbera out of the water.

So we finally see the band who plays that same song Blaster and Jazz keep playing...

[@tigerstar_playschannel]

20:21 cosmos could have done that the entire time lol

[@doublecheeseburgirl-]

this episode is actually really dark holy hell 💀 this is one of their only plans that makes sense and actually could've probably worked. could you imagine if something took out all the cell and radio towers now? we'd be on our knees in minutes.

You got to like jazz

[@rebelife922]

LOVE Jazz ❤️🖤💚

[@bull705]

@@rebelife922 My love for Jazz fuels my hatred for the Bey movies.The second Jazz died that version of the franchise died for me. The fact that every single Bey movie is shit just made it easier to sever ties.

_Like_ Jazz? I LOVE Jazz!! 😍😍

Why do I get Mr. Burns vibes from Megs wanting all that control over the power?

[@chrisedwards3214]

Chris latta played moe and mr burns on the Simpsons on the first season

[@tohitsumohinafan]

I can't help but feel bothered by the fact that the Autobots are always bothered by Blaster's music, but they never complain about Jazz's music.

[@JoseBronxRican]

There was at least one Jazz complaint: "Attack of the Autobots". Bumble and the Witwickys found it annoying and dangerous. "Rock 'n Roll with real rocks!"

[@GenoLopez-kp1mu]

How to kick out the entire library: 1: Bring in a boombox 2: Play extremely loud music 3: have everyone say: SHUT UP!!!

[@blueraccoon1088]

1:12 a little tune 1:25 1:35 those guys got the beat

[@ArcticPrice]

Yknow watching blaster try to lighten the mood for the autobots and jazz just vibing to it makes me think their just that married couple who love to annoy people and have a laugh about it

[@miraculousninja5255]

1:26 Where did Jazz come from?! 😂

[@BloxCraft2009]

Back rooms!

Why does it seems like they only have one song in the entire cartoon universe? This rocksong were beeing used in almost every SF-cartoon in the 80s to symbolise human music and only that.

[@WarhawkBeyond2040]

This was a fun showcase episode for Blaster who we actually got to know and spend time with after he had been introduced in a couple of episodes where he would have the odd 1 scene. He maybe loud and annoying to the other Autobots but you can't deny that he's not only a fun Transformer to be around with but when it comes down to it, he is a true team player with the heart of a warrior plus he is the perfect opposite to Soundwave. One of my favourite Autobots

[@agricola39]

10:20 RIP Thomas the Tank Engine. :D

[@shawnwolf2050]

NOOOOO THOMAS 🤣 LMAO

[@Kakorot77]

Optimus Prime has bad aim, despite being a great leader. First, Laserbeak the 'tinfoil turkey'......Now, this....he gets his ass handed to him by Thundercracker and Ramjet.

[@brokenheroics8223]

Another example of the better animated episode.

[@jerelcheek5112]

Last time I checked there are alien robots on Earth that turn into vehicles. How those guys not considered intelligent life.

[@tsm688]

there's got to be alien life looking to be contacted *alien civil war on earth* there's got to be SOMEONE ELSE looking to be contacted

[@JoseBronxRican]

You mean like Warpath? "BAMMM! ZOWWW!! ZURRRGE!" 😀

[@speeder5118]

i love watching jazz get down
