Astro blaster

This article is about the regular weapon from Generation 1. For the Arms Micron weapon from Prime, see Astro Blaster.

This gun's so nasty, even Landmine's own pretender shell will surrender to it.

What exactly makes Landmine's astro blaster 'astro' is a mystery to all. But all his enemies need to know is that it fires concentrated bursts of incendiary grenades. And he can wield it in either robot or all-terrain thingie mode. Since it gives him a firepower of 10 (which is technically higher than Devastator's and Bruticus's!), it's something that even cheesed-off Femaxians shouldn't play around with. Though matrix-possessed megalomaniacs need not worry.

Fiction

Animated cartoon

The astro blaster is just one of the many toys that the Decepticons' resident one-man deathsquad, Blackout plays with. With it, he obliterated not only the Wreckers, but a whopping four Omega Sentinels! Take THAT, Buzzsaw! The AllSpark Almanac II

Notes

• "Astro Blaster" is also the Japanese name of the Requiem Blaster from Armada, which was mistakenly called by that name in the episode "Rebellion".
