Blaster and the rest of his Autobot allies were trapped on the Earth side of the bridge as it faded out. After planting fission bombs on the bridge, Blaster personally battled Straxus, tricking the Decepticon leader into damaging the portal before kicking him through it and apparently destroying him. The Smelting Pool! The Decepticons set about building a space bridge to this planet, and Blaster spied on the tests in his alternate mode, gathering the information they needed to launch an attack.

Scrounge's information brought new hope to the Autobot resistance, as it revealed that Optimus Prime and the Autobots on the Ark were still alive and well after four million years, fighting on a planet called Earth. Blaster was then saved from the pit by his comrades, and he claimed revenge for Scrounge by ripping out the pipes that fed the pool and blasting their Decepticon pursuers with molten slag.Īnd you thought the 1980s cellphones were huge. Captured by the forces of Lord Straxus, Blaster was sentenced to the smelting pool, where he discovered the half-melted Scrounge, who clung to life just long enough to pass on to Blaster the data he had obtained, so that this death would not be in vain.

Blaster's duties also took him to a variety of battlefields that were stranger than many other Transformers would experience, including millions of years into the past, into another dimension ruled by magic, and-a particular favorite of his-the musical planet of Eurythma. Following this, Blaster was assigned command of the city, where his jive-talking jingles and jams saw the Autobots through crises like the attack of Trypticon. Developing a rivalry with his Decepticon opposite number, Soundwave, Blaster gained a cassette army of his own so he could fight Soundwave on equal footing, and he and little buddies were instrumental in ensuring reinforcements arrived in time to save Autobot City when it was besieged in 2005.
