Blaster is a major character in Transformers Loud, introduced in the second season before becoming a reoccurring character in the third. He was once a very famous Cybertronian DJ-style radio announcer before joining the Autobot Resistance, where he serves as their chief communications officer. In the series proper, he acts as the commanding officer of a small detachment of Autobots stationed on the planet Eurythma.

## Personality

Blaster loves all kinds of music - Cybertronian, Earth, whatever - as long as it's good, hard, and loud! He can be found at the forefront of any situation in which he's involved, be it getting down and truly hopping to town, or kicking butt and taking names—both of which he does well, and both of which have led him into conflict with authority at times. He's just a bot that prefers to march to his own beat, whether it's a pounding bassline or pounding Destron chassis, and he's not shy when it comes to sharing his feelings about either!

Of course, like any sane 'Bot, Blaster knows that not everything is fun and games. Despite his carefree nature, he definitely one that takes things seriously, like his command over his own personal unit. He also knows full well the threat that the Destrons present to the rest of the galaxy and even to other Cybetronians, and is more than willing to do whatever it takes to stop them.

## History

### The Civil War

In his youth, Blaster was the host of a public-access radio show where he acted as both "DJ" for Cybertronian music and reporter for the Iaconian Newsfeed Service, and reported live from the Nova Plaza.

### The Rebellion

When the Destron Empire started to become more nefarious, Blaster used his bad experiences with state-censored media to set up a pirate news broadcast that dared speak the truth about the new government and their more "questionable" actions on other planets and even against the wider Cybertronian populace. Eventually, a government-sanctioned assassination attempt would try to take his life, but the interlopers were defeated by Ultra Magnus, who asked for Blaster's hand in helping stand against the Empire's tyranny.

## Abilities & Equipment

* Transformation

Blaster is able to transform into a Cybertronian communication device that bears a striking resemblance to an old Earth boombox radio. This alternate form allows him to enhance his general communication abilities to pick up signals from far-off planets.

* Hand-to-Hand Combat
* Blaster Rifle
* Sound Projection

## Notes

Blaster's role in the series is heavily inspired by Robin Williams's character Adrian Cronauer in Good Morning, Vietnam, right down to his catchphrase, "Good morning Cybertron, good morning!", being a mix between Mr. Williams's catchphrase whenever he would begin a broadcast in the film and one of Blaster's quotes from Season 3 of the original cartoon. This is mainly meant to tie into his past in the original IDW comics, and acts as another way to show his rebellious side.

While this version of Blaster definitely maintains his cartoon counterpart's fun attitude, he also takes slight influence from his portrayal in the G1 Marvel comic with him gaining a more serious attitude when he needs to. This also includes the Bots in his own personal unit, which are a reference to a group he led in the comic called the Cybertron Seven, which he led alongside Perceptor. The only difference with this version of his team is the exception of Seaspray and Beachcomber, and obviously that Blaster leads the unit alone.
