'''Blazemaster''' is thought by many of his Autobot comrades to be haywire. He will fly over [[Decepticon]]s, intentionally alerting them of his presence. Once that's done, he starts dropping corrosive gel on them, watching as they run for their lives. You can point out to him that he's just causing collateral damage, but as far as Blazemaster's concerned, his type of hard-and-fast action saves lives and you can shove it!

Blazemaster was working with [[NEST]] in [[Egypt|Cairo]], trying to bring in the escaped [[Reverb (ROTF)|Reverb]]. The Decepticon knew of Blazemaster, who decided to cut off his retreat with ''a huge-ass wall of FIERY DEATH'' and then blew him through a building with a bomb strike. Blazemaster was then a bit shocked to find NEST ''weren't'' happy that he'd set a huge part of Cairo on effing fire rather than following the "contained capture" briefing. He snarled back that he was the type of go-getting hardass who got things ''done'' and didn't mess about with all that second-guessing pencil-pusher stuff that got people killed, only to be told by NEST's [[Klammer]] that Blazemaster's actions were just turning public opinion against them.

The Autobot bravely went for a sulk, deciding from that putdown and the growing anti-Autobot feeling that his talents were wasted on Earth and he should leave. To his surprise, he was then intercepted by [[Skywarp (ROTF)|Skywarp]]...who, despite a brief clash, revealed he wasn't trying to fight him but ''recruit him'' for [[Bludgeon (ROTF)|Bludgeon's]] paramilitary. His actions in Cairo showed he had potential! Blazemaster was horrified that the Decepticons thought he was a natural for their unit and rejected the offer, but Skywarp flew off, telling him to live with the fact that he had all the credentials to be a villain... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.16|Turn and Burn}}

Blazemaster, at some point, was captured and brainwashed by the [[Initiative]] into being one of their soldiers. His colours were bleached out and he was thrown at an Autobot/[[NEST]] team in the Initiative's final battle. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 5}} {{storylink|Nefarious issue 6}}

Along with the other ex-brainwashed Autobots, he was eager to return to battle, but Optimus told them they still needed to recuperate after the mental trauma they'd suffered. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1}} While Optimus and his team went to save [[Sam Witwicky]] from a Decepticon attack, Blazemaster and the other refugees remained on [[Diego Garcia]], nostalgically staring at pictures from Cybertron's past. In their docile state, they were found and killed by [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]]. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 3}}

*'''Blazemaster''' (Deluxe, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-18'''

: Blazemaster transforms into a gold and blue [[wikipedia:Eurocopter Dauphin|Eurocopter Dauphin]] helicopter. The cockpit has translucent blue plastic, through which Blazemaster's head is amusingly visible. Channel 7 Action News tampographs are on both sides of the fuselage, and 7 News tampos on the tail. The top propeller can be spun using a gear-driven action by pressing the small blue button just under it. The tail rotor cannot move.

: In robot mode, the top rotor can be used as a spinning weapon, or split in half to sit on both arms. There are some issues with this, however, as the propeller does not like to sit in the position shown in the instructions (it tends to rotate down), and the second piece does not fit snugly into its socket, which has one side open to accommodate conversion. There are also a pair of thumbs inside the engine cowling halves that convert into Blazemaster's arms, despite him not having actual hands.

: Blazemaster's deco is different from the stock toy photograph shown on the back of the card, which shows many of the white areas colored gold.

: This mold was also used to make ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Evac (Movie)|Evac]] and [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|''Transformers'' (2010) toyline]] [[Tailwhip]].

==Notes==
* During part of 2010, [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/transformers-toy-giveaway.cfm Hasbro did a promotion] wherein US fans could receive three free Deluxes in exchange for receipts showing the purchase of $25 or more of select Transformers product. As noted in [http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=69645&st=0 this thread over at Allspark.com], and later confirmed by [http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodinfo.asp?number=HT83971G3 this listing here], Blazemaster was one of a pool of eight figures (all from the same wave) from which the free Deluxes were drawn, with several people having noted receiving him.
* The only U.S. television station using the "Channel 7 Action News" name is [[wikipedia:WXYZ-TV|WXYZ-TV]] in [[Detroit]]. No word on if their traffic copter is ''actually'' a pyromaniac space robot.
* Blazemaster has ''quite'' a few similarities to [[Ben Procter]]'s [[:Image:ROTF Springer concept.jpg|concept art]] for the rejected character [[Springer (ROTF)|Springer]].

[[Whirl (ROTF)|Some]] mechs think the '''high-voltage electric cannon''' is a dishonorable weapon, unworthy to be used by a true master of [[Metallikato]].

While defending himself against [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], Bludgeon's Pretender shell was destroyed. He transformed his inner robot into tank mode and shot Megatron in the chest with his high-voltage electric cannon. Megatron admitted the shot was painful, but the blast did little to no damage. Megatron returned the favor by also transforming into tank mode and blew Bludgeon apart with his rail gun. {{storylink|The Power and the Glory}}
