'''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.

He transforms into a Channel 7 news copter.

: Blazemaster transforms into a gold and blue [[wikipedia:Bell 412|Bell 412]], but with some cues from other Bell models. 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 snuggly into its socket, which has one side open to accommodate conversion. There are also a pair of thumbs inside the engine cowling that converts into Blazemaster's arms, despite 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]].

: 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.

[[Image:Example.jpg]]==Trivia==
* 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.
* Also, he may be part of the [[wikipedia:CP24#Chopper_24|CP24]] team, who uses channel 24 and channel 7 in the [[Toronto]] area, and their chopper is a [[wikipedia:Bell_206|Bell 206]], but it is similar to the 412 in many ways.
* Blazemaster has ''quite'' a few similarities to [[Ben Procter]]'s [[:Image:ROTF Springer concept.jpg|concept art]] for the rejected character [[Springer (ROTF)|Springer]].
