- Phaser is an Autobot Micromaster from the toyline portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Second-in-command of the Astro Squad, the professional Phaser's combiner partner is the over-enthusiastic Blast Master. The need to double-check and triple-check his partner's moves, along with the fact he's the most down-to-earth of the entire team, is why he's perfect for his position. However, on occasion Phaser takes too much responsibility on himself, which can make him emotionally burnt out.[1]

Transformers Legends comic
In a dream had by Rattrap, Swerve wielded Phaser's My First Blaster mode in an unsuccessful battle with Trypticon. When Rattrap lamented his small stature, Swerve revealed to him that Phaser was actually a tiny robot but his size didn't stop him from being a valued ally. Bonus Edition Vol. 8 Phaser continued to help Swerve against Trypticon by telling him where to aim in blaster mode, realizing too late his helpful advice only made it easier for Trypticon to dodge his blasts. 2015's Swerve
