- Blast Off is a Decepticon in the Generation 1 continuity family.
Blast Off doesn't need a write-up in some pathetic, grubby little human database. It might matter to some robots what others think of them, or if they think of them at all, but Blast Off could care less. No, he's literally and figuratively above your average Cybertronian riff-raff. The other Combaticons could completely forget he's up here, orbiting so far above the Earth, distant and alone... with only the cold, empty void for company... and he couldn't care less. No, certainly not.
Lesser robots could hardly understand the joy... yes, thats it, the joy, he finds in efficiently and remorselessly annihilating targets from such a great distance. Blast Off was quite simply "built better" than the rest, you see, and so needs nothing from those tiny beings moving about so... so very... far away below. Blast Off... Blast Off is quite happy with his superior position, yes, quite happy and... and quite alone.
Blast Off condecends to combine with his fellow Combaticons to form Bruticus.

Toys
Generation 1
- Blast Off (Combaticon, 1986/1990)
- Japanese ID number: D-65
- Blast Off transforms into a Rockwell International NASA Space Shuttle. In this mode, he is armed with two laser cannons mounted his engines.
- In robot mode Blast Off is armed with a small laser pistol and his two laser cannons, which are now mounted on his legs. Along with fellow Combaticon Vortex, Blast Off is the first Transformer figure to use ball joints, located in his shoulders. He usually forms Bruticus' right arm, but as a Scramble City toy, he can be connected with any limb slot on Bruticus.
- This mold was also used to make Operation Combination Shuttle Gunner, Robots in Disguise Movor and Universe Movor.
Generation 2
- Blast Off (Combaticon, 1994)
- Team ID number: C3
- In Generation 2, Blast Off was redecoed white with purple camoflage... for all the times you need purple camoflage in space.
Merchandise
- A digital wristwatch of Blast Off's shuttle mode was released during Generation 2. This did not have a robot mode, however.
Trivia
- Blast Off's animation model apparently mis-interpreted his forehead crest as a visor, giving him one funkily-arranged face.
