  • Autobot Blaster with Blockrock Mini-Con! (Voyager Class, 2008)
Available only with his larger partner "Classics Series" "Autobot Blaster", Blockrock is a redeco of the Cybertron "Mini-Con" Laserbeak, transforming from a hexagonal turbine into a robotic bird. In turbine mode he can be stored in Blaster's chest compartment, or on the underside of either wing.
Blockrock can perch on the tips of Blaster's wings in his condor form by inserting his peg into one of the trailing edge holes, as well as Blaster's right arm. Despite his Mini-Con branding, he does not have a Powerlinx socket.
This mold was also used to make Hell Buzzsaw.

Notes

References

  1. Autobot Blaster's packaging-back bio refers to him having a partner called "Flashback". However, "Flashback" is not present on the online version of the bio, being replaced with "Blockrock". Obviously, the packaging bio accidentally uses an earlier name for the Mini-Con bird.
