Blaster and his crew did their best to re-establish a link with the Titans; despite receiving assistance from Glyph, Tap-Out, and Steeljaw Tremors they weren't able to repair the Titan Net before Megatron staged a coup, overthrew the Senate, and killed Sentinel Prime. When Orion Pax inherited the Matrix to become Optimus Prime, Blaster attended his first speech. War World: Awakenings Not long afterwards, the triumphant Decepticons moved to seize control of Iacon's infrastructure by planting loyalists in positions of power, and as a result Mindwipe, Bitstream, and Sparkstalker took control of the Titan Net building and ousted Blaster and his crew. Hunt Twincast joined the entire Autobot army in journeying to the North Pole. There they battled Scorponok and his minions to stop the crysmagnetal towers from destroying the planet Earth. Twincast saved Chromedome and Hardhead from Mindwipe's hypnotic spell by dumping his entire chest full of Mini-Cassettes on the evil Headmaster. The Death Towers created a field of energy that was threatening to tear the Earth apart At the request of Daniel and Wheelie all the Autobots assembled to assist the Autobot Headmasters, thus combined in "Final Formation", they provided Fortress with the energy he needed, and the Earth was saved.

Twincast became available at Canadian retail in early February 2023, less than a week after his initial reveal. Blaster's spring-loaded chest compartment can be opened by pressing on the buttons directly below it. Like the Siege and War for Cybertron Trilogy figures of his Decepticon counterpart, Soundwave, Blaster features a sculpted extended index finger, allowing one to simulate poses of him pressing his buttons. Blaster's chest can also accommodate Soundwave's Siege Micromaster minions and their remolds, as well as the blue cassette from Studio Series. Originally scheduled for release in late 2009, Broad Blast was delayed until July 2010. According to a report from getnews.jp at the Tokyo Toy Show 2010, the delay was due to the discovery of a connection cut-off problem after the toy/USB hub is transformed into robot mode. TakaraTomy redesigned the entire lower body to fix this problem. [1] A poseable Blaster figure that transforms into a Toshiba Satellite laptop that also doubles as a working 4-port USB hub. In robot mode, his chest can fit any of the Generation 1 cassette robots.

Though Blaster and Eject were scheduled for a first-quarter 2022 release, they arrived on U.S. store shelves in December 2021.Blaster is one of two characters that has a unique ending victory pose, in which Blaster has a chance to perform a handstand, and then start break dancing. Blaster was among the Autobots who were exiled from Earth as part of a villainous conspiracy between Megatron and Shawn Berger. Megatron's Master Plan, Part 1 Everything turned out okay in the end, though.

In both modes(!) he is a fully functional USB hub (USB 1.1-2.0 compatible), with four "Type A" ports, and a single "Mini A" port. He comes with an exceedingly short Mini-A-to-Type-A cable, which you're probably gonna want to replace if you're gonna use him with a desktop computer setup. In 2007, when the Autobots were able to return to Earth after being forced to withdraw when Transformer/human relations had been heavily damaged the previous year, Ultra Magnus hit upon the idea of a joint Transformer/human singing group to help improve public relations. Blaster was assigned the role of producer for this group, the " Kiss Players", of which Rosanna became a founding member. Kiss Players #39 Preparations for the military strike, dubbed Operation Supergroovalisticprosifunkstication Storm, are already underway.

According to Dan Fleming in Powerplay: toys as popular culture, Blaster represents a guardian of more primitive heroes, as well as the hidden power of technology. [4]

Blaster is destroyed in the Japanese Transformers: The Headmasters series during a fight with Soundwave (who also perished in the fight) and rebuilt two episodes later as Twincast, with a blue/white color scheme as opposed to the red/yellow previously. After a pivotal role in "Operation Cassette", he featured as a regular character throughout the whole series. The Twincast toy was recently re-issued by eHobby. Aside from the blue/yellow color scheme, the Twincast toy also differs from the Blaster/Broadcast toy in that the tape compartment can hold two cassette Transformers simultaneously. The Blaster from the Transformers: Fall of Cybertron line was introduced in 2012 as an update of the 1985 character. Blaster's initial transformation is an AM/FM Stereo Cassette Player, commonly referred to as a boombox or ghettoblaster, hence the name. Blaster was a popular character from the original series while not featuring as prominently in the modern Transformers universe. [3] Blaster, Cosmos, and Perceptor had a dance-off against Soundwave, Rumble, and Frenzy.

In robot mode, his chest is designed to accommodate the original Mini-Cassette toys, though they cannot stay in there in laptop mode, due to Broad Blast's head being inside his chest in this form. He has 5 mm fist holes, which means he can use the original Blaster toy's rifle if you so wish. Blaster appeared in Solar Requiem, where he escaped Earth's moon to the Earth and confronted Soundwave.
