Funny thing: one of the two Blaster figures that's a Soundwave repaint & remold...Blaster totally takes over and OWNED the mold: Fall of Cybertron. The Transformers Cybertron (or Universe) Blaster sucked as it was a straight repaint of Soundwave. Titans Return Blaster was okay, but it's not a repaint of Soundwave (Soundwave was a repaint & minor retool of Blaster in this case). On the downside, if they do a new Blaster in the new War for Cybertron Trilogy line, that's very likely to be a Soundwave retool...

This was the episode I sponsored! I'll drop some nostalgia and why Blaster as aces in my book. So, in the mid-80s, I was big into comics. I had older brothers who worked at a toy store and got the Nintendo on their own collective income, but for me, it was comics because my parents were divorced and getting lots of Nintendo games or a whole lot of toys weren't as easy as getting a whole lot of comics at the drug store or the very few comic shops in Indianapolis. By the time I was really into comics, and could walk to the local drugstore on my own, Transformers were the king of after school TV. So when I saw Marvel had done a Transformers series, oh, man I was in! Shortly after getting into them, Optimus Prime sacrificed himself and it left the leader role vacant. I loved dinosaurs too, so Grimlock was another of my favorite characters. However, it was when Blaster bucked his leadership, and took off with Goldbug, THAT was when I realized this guy was too cool for school. There was no going back for me. Blaster was without a doubt my favorite Transformer and scrambled to get all the issues with him that I had missed previously. I loved his origin story and the heartbreak of losing his best friend and leading many of the other 1985 characters which I did own (particularly the mini bots like Cosmos, Powerglide, Seaspray, Warpath, and Beachcomber). He's never dropped from that #1 spot and never will. I've been on a big Transformers Nostalgia trip over the past few months and finding Chris' channel has been a complete joy. Thanks again, Chris, for a great episode, and it brings me such joy seeing all these great comments of people who also love my favorite Autobot! So I'll close with a quote from Blaster's first appearance in Transformers #17 - ""EAT HOT SLAG, DECEPTICONS!"

Cool choice man. Blaster was always a lot of fun in the G1 cartoon (the only Transformers media I knew as a kid.) But I know that thing of losing yourself in comics. My parents divorced when I was a kid and I had already discovered the Sonic the Hedgehog comics by then. Then the cartoon premiered the same weekend I moved to a new town. So I threw myself into that fantasy instead.

You know, in an early Headmasters episode, Daniel Witwicky, Wheelie along with Blaster's buds, Ramhorn and Steeljaw, didn't accept the transformation into Twincast at first. The bot only ended up proving that, though he may not look like him, he still has the same Blaster spark, and it's what's on the inside that counts more.

In the UK marvel comic, everything took place on earth until that point. Blaster was our pov character for the introduction of cybertron as a main story setting, and the story of the events surrounding Scrounge's death were the first real turning point in the overall feel of the whole run, from fun adventures on earth to a darker, wartime desperation theme for the resistance on decepticon occupied cybertron. One of the greatest and most memorable stories from the UK run of all time, in my opinion

I think we need an episode on the cassettes themselves, you know? Not only on more of the individual ones - like Laserbeak, Buzzsaw, Rumble, Frenzy, the Autobot ones, & especially the two sets of two-bot combiners - but also on the concept of the cassettes themselves. Why such were created in the first place, as well as why Laserbeak was the only one to ever have a Cybertronian form. (Which I still say needs its own toy. They finally gave us Cybertronian Starscream, for example, which will undoubtedly lead - as it always does - to the rest of the Seekers getting one, after all.)

I really do love the sound of the IDW Blaster mashup: keep the fun radio DJ personality of G1 while still giving him a sort of underground resistance role like early Marvel and the scrapped 1986 movie storyline. At the risk of sounding uninformed, haven't seen any media involving Blaster and I have to admit I was a little unfairly biased against him. I sorta had this preconceived notion of Blaster as this pallet swap designed to sell unsold Soundwave toys and his personality was just a Jazz/Warpath mashup, but damn, this guy seems like a genuinely fun character! Thanks for bringing this guy to my attention, Mr. McFeely! (And thanks, Jeff, for sponsoring this one!)

His modern alt-mode should be a burnt-out toaster oven.

Hold on, I just noticed something crazy! One of the vehicle modes given to Blaster is a recolor of the Transformers: Cybertron Soundwave figure. Talk about close connections.

I wish Blaster could get back into the cartoons with his old cartoon personality, that one is my favorite; though I like how IDW was able to successfully blend the two personalities together in an interesting manner.

Blaster was one of my favorite Transformers from Generation. He stood apart from the other Autobots with both his ability and his personality, though Jazz likewise stood out personality wise. I liked his Titan Master version, but its hard if not impossible to beat the original.

Another great BASICS video, well done sir. Ive been a fan of this show since the beginning and every video just keeps getting better and better. Looking forward to the next one. Id like to see a video on DUOCONS. Not sure if its a big topic but the lore behind them is really interesting.

Growing up as a young Black kid and watching G1 Transformers, I and others were super elated about Blaster and Jazz. They both exhibited characteristics and mannerisms akin to Blacks, and little did we know, they were indeed voiced by Black men. What an excellent way for Hasbro and company to incorporate diversity into the cartoon all those years ago. Will always love the "hip and cool" Blaster. Side note, Panthro from Thundercats had the same effect.

Since I used to watch Scatman Crothers on TV as a child, I recognized him as Jazz immediately. I knew Buster Jones' voice from when he was Black Vulcan on the Super Friends. The 3rd Black voice on G1 Transformers was Arthur Burghardt aka Devastator.

The electronics weren't removed !!?? i DEFINITELY remember listening to radio on my old Blasters in the 80's. maybe they released cheaper ones that were stripped later.. but in 86, it was a working feature.

As a kid Soundwave and Blaster were my favorite transformers, largely due to their ablity to deploy smaller smaller transformers from their chests. It's a shame that became rather dated. I've often wondered how they could go about updating that function.

Hasbro planned to release a DOTM Blaster figure which would’ve been a repaint and retool of the cancelled Soundwave figure but the toy line wasn’t doing too well so the figure never ended up being released. You can however find images of the figures on the internet and while the colors don’t suit the car, the robot mode looks really good though, especially the head design.

I think all sound wave and blaster toys going forward should be bases formers like in titan's return. I think it's ideal for getting around their data mod and works wonders with the evergreen mini-cons.

Really appreciate this stuff. There's something about Blaster that's SO classic, even though he was a bit of a latecomer in the original series.
