- R Blade is an Autobot from the Robot Masters portion of Generation 1.
R Blade is a member of the Cyberjets, and works as a consolate at Autobot City, working on matters of diplomacy with the humans of Earth. When pressed into battle, his "Sonic Lance" missiles are loaded with a wide variety of warheads, giving him a great many combat options. Thankfully, he has the skill to properly exploit those options.
He's a big Jetfire fanboy, which explains his colors.
Fiction
Robot Masters online mini-comics
R Blade responded to Mirage's distress signal as he was being attacked by the time-displaced Predacon Megatron. R Blade was quickly knocked aside, but managed to get up and contribute a volley of firepower that drove off the smirking dino.
Later, R Blade was the unlucky Autobot taking a group beating from Psycho Orb, Air Hunter and Wrecker Hook. However, Optimus Primal appeared through a space-time rift and saved his hash.
While out on flying patrol with Optimus Primal and Delta Seeker, the trio were approached by Starscream, Wing Stun and X-Gunner, who apparently wanted to have a test of air-speed. Leaving Optimus in their wake, the five jet-form Transformers took off, with the Decepticons ahead. R Blade used a special spinning technique to get ahead of the Decepticons, and generated a smokescreen, giving Delta Seeker the chance to knock all three out of the sky.
