Fiction

Shattered Glass

To keep Blaster occupied during the preparations for the Ark's launch, Optimus Prime gave him a group of Scrounge units to whip into shape like a drill sergeant. Later, in Optimus Prime's absence, Rodimus took command of the Ark, getting rid of the Autobots who were too loyal to Prime. Blaster remained with the ship on its way to Earth, and was on the bridge when Astrotrain attacked it. Blaster was eager to send the Scrounges out, but Rodimus had other plans. Unfortunately, he was too late; Astrotrain successfully sabotaged the Ark, causing it to plummet to Earth. Do Over

After the Autobots recovered from the initial crash, Blaster assisted Wheeljack with the work of repairing the Ark's systems. He wasn't too pleased with Rodimus' return from his own crash landing elsewhere on the planet. And he was even less pleased when Rodimus and their new human allies the three Witwicky brothers advocated against engaging in "ze plunderingk" of their new home.

But after Rodimus successfully fought Goldbug for leadership of the Autobots, Blaster was willing enough to go along with the change in command. He was also willing to help with Rodimus' plan to hold the planet hostage for ransom by hijacking one of the humans' military bases to gain control of the planet's destructive defense satellites.

Blaster thought they could simply send in the Scrounges as their plan of attack, but Rodimus decided to go for a more standard infiltration attempt instead and ordered Blaster to lead a diversion. Blaster headed up a squad of Autobots and Scrounges to attack the base from the outside, while the Witwickys, Rodimus, and two other Autobots attacked the base from the inside by letting themselves get "arrested".

After the base was successfully conquered, Blaster coordinated a mass takeover of Earth's telecommunications systems so Rodimus could broadcast his extortionist demands to the humans.

When the Decepticons made an assault to liberate the base, Blaster's squad of Scrounges attempted to keep Heatwave from reaching the satellite's controller system, but Soundwave pitched in and disabled them with the power of rock. Eye in the Sky

Ravage friended Blaster on the website Boxball. Unfortunately for Soundwave, this meant that when Ravage posted a check-in that they were at the Taco Horn, Blaster saw the update and was able to track them down. Recordicons #6

Months later, when Blitzwing suffered an accident that caused him to start transmitting music over the emergency Autobot channel, Blaster's communications abilities kept him immune while the others suffered. He initially tried to take advantage of the situation by wresting command, but dropped the notion when Rodimus was still able to best him even while impaired. He then agreed to be sent out to track down Blitzwing.

His first stop was Big Steve's Honest Deals. He convinced Big Steve that he was really a nice, friendly robot in the market for a used vehicle—one like the nice, red tank holding Big Steve's advertisement sign. When Big Steve blew the tank's cover, Blaster noted that the transformed Blitzwing had no choice but to come peacefully or risk hurting the humans with their battle... until Blitzwing promptly flew off, as Blaster had forgotten about his jet mode.

*Insert Street Fighter joke here.*

Blaster eventually tracked down his prey again in an alleyway. Emerging from a taxicab, he revealed to a flabbergasted Blitzwing that the humans were both mercenary drivers and unable to keep secrets. Blitzwing's location had been betrayed when Blaster had discovered a human on Yatter saying there was a giant robot near their house. Unfortunately for Blaster, though, Soundwave had access to the same information, and appeared just in the nick of time to save Blitzwing from a fistfight.

The two communications officers traded blows at first, then Blaster was pushed out into the street. Now free to maneuver, he pulled out his baton and began a sonic assault, which Soundwave countered with his speakers. Before either could achieve a decisive advantage, however, they were interrupted by the explosive arrival of Officer Thunderwing, who wanted to arrest... Soundwave. Blaster pretended to Thunderwing that he was a friend to Blitzwing—who had been stunned by Thunderwing's landing—and dragged the triple changer away.

When Blitzwing came to, he found that Blaster had dragged him to the Autobots' rebuilt Stellar Spanner. Blaster was planning on fitting Blitzwing with a broadcast signal amplifier, then sending him back to Cybertron, where Blitzwing's now uncontrollable broadcasting would glitch every Transformer on the planet offline. Soundwave and Thunderwing eventually caught up with Blaster, but not before Blitzwing had been locked in the now-activated Spanner. Soundwave knocked Blaster to the ground after feinting that he would argue with Thunderwing instead, and the two engaged in a second fists-and-sonics fight.

Blaster eventually had Soundwave on the ropes, but before Blaster could finish him off, Soundwave tricked Blaster into confessing a crime in front of Thunderwing. Blaster then found himself on the wrong end of Thunderwing's weaponry. As he working on dodging the weapons fire, Soundwave rescued Blitzwing from the Spanner, so Blaster jumped in instead to escape.

Blitzwing then promptly blasted the Spanner's control panel with a tank shell. The Spanner malfunctioned as Blaster started to transit, and eventually spit him back out again... on Earth's moon. The flightless Autobot then found himself unable to do anything but stare at the Earth so far away above him and scream soundlessly... Blitzwing Bop

Blaster remained trapped on the Moon until the evolved being known as Solarbot crashed near him. Blaster manipulated Solarbot into transporting him back to Earth in his spaceship, and sought revenge on Soundwave. By accident, he also discovered that placing Solarbot in his chest cavity gave Blaster the power of the sun itself. Unfortunately for Blaster, the power was too much for him, and Solarbot burned his way out of Blaster's chest. Weakened and damaged, Blaster and his Mini-Cassettes retreated. Solar Requiem

Following a particularly bad defeat on Earth at the hands of the Decepticons, Blaster was among the Autobots who left for Cybertron in Sky Lynx. When their ride announced they'd have to lighten their load, Rodimus promptly dumped Optimus Prime out the nearest hatch. Blaster had no objections to Rodimus declaring himself the new leader.

Oh you are so on that things have now become very much like Donkey Kong.
  • SG Soundwave vs SG Blaster (2013)
    • Accessories: Electro-scrambler gun
"SG Blaster" comes in a boxed versus set which also includes SG Slugfest, SG Ratbat, SG Soundwave, SG Rewind, SG Ramhorn, and Solarbot, as well as a 12-page comic. Redecoed from Encore Twincast, SG Blaster comes with a sticker sheet with additional decals for himself and the others in the set. Blaster's stickers recreate the "tribal" deco seen on his shoulders in the original Shattered Glass text story illustrations, though they cover up the pre-existing deco on his shoulders. There's another small sticker belonging to him that can be placed over the tribal sticker on the far right side of his right shoulder... or anywhere, really, it's your choice.
