Blurr and Sonic would get along very well since they’re both blue and fast

-Fun- Actually kinda dark Fact: Animated Blurr's crushed cube form was originally supposed to have his still active spark visible through that dark gash in it, implying he was still alive. That detail was lost when the animators simplified the design for the show.

[@KadenKenz]

G1 Blurr's fast-talking was very charming. John is incredible at what he does and I'm sad we never got to see it again. Sure, TFA tried to bring it back along to replicate the charm with the G1 VAs. But Blurr's vocals were a bit slower I noticed, (likely so it's easier to understand Blurr. Though I never had trouble deciphering his words in G1, since his voice was pretty pronounced, I can understand why it isn't as fast) yet nobody since has done anything similar.

[@darthpaul99]

G1 Blurr is the best, none of the others compare apart from the TFA version due to them lacking the fast talking.

I LOVED Blurr in G1!!! Blue sports car that could out-race and out-talk anyone! He was awesome!!

[@mattimusprimal637]

I believe the fact there’s 2 Blurrs in the Unicron Trilogy can be easily explained due to them being from 2 different planets: Cybertron, Velocitron. So, having same name makes sense.

[@nicholaspeberdy8537]

Blink once, you've missed Blurr.

[@schmidington]

G1 Blurr is the best. IDW Blurr as a bartender is interesting, but the one thing that always bugged me was the backstory. He was retired from actively participating because he injured his leg? With top medics like First-Aid and Ratchet, and big tech in the form of Perceptor and Brainstorm, they couldn't repair or replace his leg? The same goes for Bumblebee walking with a cane. It made for drama, but it made no sense.

[@gregorylieber8362]

Blur is an acquired taste. I will always remember him as the butt of the joke in The Rude Awakening of Optimus Prime.. "Out of all the Autobots to survive.."

[@TheYoungDoctor]

Never noticed before that Blurr's sometimes blue and white colour scheme is like Marvel's Quicksilver. Marvel UK's continuity shows that Blurr and Cyclonus may have better becoming Headmasters than Targetmasters.

[@SilverStreak9841uoattob]

It's very nice and very rare to see a video on Blurr that isn't just "I hate Blurr, he's annoying!" I feel the years of complaining is what led to him going from an interesting, albeit neurotic, motormouth to just a carbon copy Bumblee/Hot Rod.

[@THANATOS-PRIME]

My introduction was the Armada iteration of the character. I really hope that he gets an updated figure soon since that has always been my favorite look for him. Would love to see you get recalled into the Cybertron version too!

[@gabrielchee8470]

Honestly I know you'll get pissed but: Pointblank retool. They have similar shoulders.

[@THANATOS-PRIME]

@@gabrielchee8470 not terrible. I just hope that they can fix the issues with the hips so he doesn’t look like a soccer mom.

Blurr The Fastest Cybertronian Alive ⚡

[@TFfangeek]

Fantastic look at Blurr RodimusPrimal!!!! I just got the Velocitron Blurr figure last week, and this video now has me super excited to have that figure in my collection. Blurr has definitely raced his way into the hearts of Transformers fans and collectors. :D Keep on being amazing.

[@somkiat_alexavier]

Love it! But it’s funny how blurr is becoming the new cliff jumper; it seems through a lot of his incarnations that he is getting killed off and that won’t do since he is one of my favorite characters. I would be scared if he actually got a role in a live action movie because then I know he would get killed off. I guess the advantage of being the fastest character on screen puts a target on your back.

[@brandonandcharlene9527]

Wonderful review, well done. The original Blurr will always be my favorite 👍.

[@cybertronixproductions1056]

It’s interesting that Blurr never got the Live-Action Movie treatment. But who knows, only time will tell.

[@fennekin1750]

I'd love a Knightverse (BBM & RotB universe) version of Blurr, maybe fasttalking too, but idk about that, I hope he would still be fasttalking. Imagine a Knightverse Blurr & Hot Rod (a proper one, not the TLK version), that'd be AWESOME!

I think the best bot that Blur should race is Jazz ( Remember Blur didn't complete in the Galaxy Olympics due to him & Wheelie have to deliver the Cog to Metroplex resulting his oil pressure to rise when Jazz won ).

Great retrospective, you covered everything. As for my favorite, well I am biased because of my interest of John, so yeah, he's the best.

Nice retrospective on Blurr! My favorite version of Blurr is G1 and figure of him is the Takara Legends that came out a few years ago.

He’s such an underrated character, especially when it comes to the speedster characters! I’d love to see a movie version of Blurr and thought about it since Bumblebee. He should be fast moving and fast TALKING of course!

Quicksilver and Blurr makes a great team.

[@douglasbrownell2704]

My favorite version of blurr is gen 1. Which should be absolutely no surprise to anybody.

[@captainfantastic9158]

For a secondary character, Blurr got and gets a lot of page/screen time. He's in the middle of a war and knows it's serious, but his presence keeps things lighthearted for the audience! His bio states he's the fastest LAND-BASED Transformer, meaning various Aerialbots and Seekers are in a different speed bracket. Okay, so the question is, who's his counterpart? Who's the fastest land-based DECEPTICON Transformer? 🤔

[@gabrielchee8470]

Maybe a Stunticon?

[@lynnerose7891]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Blur was hilarious Didn’t know he was the FedEx guy.

[@colinalford2153]

If we’re talking about Transformers Cybertron, I wonder who’s faster in that universe. Blurr or Override?

[@blueraccoon1088]

I think they're both equally fast with hot shot and hot rod. In fact in my fiction they're best friends with hot shot's brother and sister arcee and hot rod, bumblebee but before the events my series would take place blurr was killed by Motermaster and the stunticon trio (knockout and breakdown and motermaster) override also found out drift was blurr's brother and drift would get revenge.

[@gabrielchee8470]

I think it's probably gonna be close since they never specify how fast cybertron Blurr is

[@geechie-don7157]

Awesome retrospect! I’ll never forget being in the 4th grade and seeing the Blurr toy BEFORE seeing the movie because my friend brought him to school. A few weeks later, I finally saw him in the G1 season 3 cartoon; loved him ever since. Him and Kup were the first ones I picked up for the studio 86 line.

[@LowellLucasJr.]

I wouldn't be surprised if Blur made it through the speed force and possibly gain a lightening streak, in addition to his after image!

[@mariaisabelg4701]

Blurr is amazingly consistant, along with Jazz. At first I thought I was gonna get annoyed with Blurr's fast-talking speech, but I was genuinely surprised at how much I found it endearing which is why I can never imagine him without it. Me personally I think him and Override have a friendly rivalry with each other but I'd love to see a con being able to keep up with Blurr🌀

[@gabrielchee8470]

Well the fast talking has genuinely not been seen again beyond TFA...and probably for the better becuz the VA will be in so much pressure to talk fast.

[@RodimusPrimal]

So in other words, they don't have him talk fast because current Hollywood doesn't have the talent for it?

[@gabrielchee8470]

​@@RodimusPrimal maybe? I dunno how much training is needed to talk fast...

[@gabrielchee8470]

I wonder if he's the reason why Ben 10's XLR8 suddenly started talking fast. Also humorously, Blurr, XLR8 and sonic are all blue. That color must really have something to do with speed

Quicksilver also wears blue, the Flash wears red.

I liked blurr for the same reason why I like flash and sonic, I also think it's unique that he can talk fast. I can sorta relate to blurr because there are even times when I talk fast without know and people get confused on what I said.
