Toys
Generation 1
- Blurr (Autobot Car, 1986)
- Japanese ID number: C-79
- Accessories: "Electro-laser" rifle, vehicle nose/shield
- Blurr transforms into a blue Cybertronic hovercar. As his type of vehicle didn't have traditional rubber-tired wheels, he instead had small plastic wheels on his robot legs, which were tucked underneath the length of the hovercar mode. The nose portion of the vehicle detaches to serve as a shield in robot mode.
- The initial releases of this toy have decals on the side of his vehicle mode pontoons that are cut in a "V" shape. Later releases made the decals a simpler four-sided shape with a darker blue in the former empty part of the "V", matching the plastic color beneath. There is also a variation to his rifle; the main body of the rifle has three small holes in the rectangular indent just over the hand-peg, but only on one side. Samples with the holes on either side of the rifle have been found. The large circular indent at the back of the rifle body, a detail that appears on both sides of the gun, is also deeper on the side that the three holes appear on.
- Blurr (Targetmaster, 1987)
- Accessories: Haywire Targetmaster, vehicle nose/shield
- A retool of the previous year's toy, Blurr was adapted to be able to hold his Nebulan/weapon Haywire, replacing his pistol from the previous release. His fist-holes were widened to accommodate Haywire's 5mm post, plus a weapon-mount point was added to his midsection/vehicle-hood. Thanks to the wider fist-holes, the peg for Blurr's shield was also expanded.
- This toy uses the "full" variant of the original toy's pontoon decals, as well as using a darker aqua-blue paint for the front tips of the pontoons. His shield has also been painted with this shade of aqua, an inexplicable addition to the toy's paint operations.
- Unlike most of the 1987 Autobot Targetmasters, This version of the toy was not released in Japan.
Generations
- Blurr (Deluxe, 2010)
- Accessories: Sniper rifle, left & right pistols
- Blurr is a retool of Generations Drift, transforming into a cross between a Nissan Silvia S15 and a Mitsubishi FTO. Tooling changes involve a new head, a less prominent spoiler, a large sniper rifle to replace Drift's long sword, two smaller handguns to replace the smaller swords and modified inside panels of the doors to accommodate said handguns. The head sculpt is influenced by Guido Guidi's Blurr redesign from Spotlight: Blurr. The sniper rifle has a pivoting handle in the middle so that Blurr can hold the rifle easily with both fists, while the two handguns can plug into the end of the barrel, forming a bipod, or if you feel like it, a crazy (but awesome) THREE-barreled rifle.
- For some reason, the ankle strut, molded of clear plastic, is completely painted over.
- The original version of this sculpt, though with Blurr's handguns also being included, was also used to make Shattered Glass Drift.

Titans Return
- Hyperfire & Blurr (Deluxe, 2016)
- Accessories: "Hyperfire" Titan Master, "Electro-laser" rifle, shield/hood
- Part of the first wave of Titans Return Deluxe Class toys, Blurr transforms into a futuristic hovercar based on his original alternate mode. He possesses a set of small wheels that allow him to roll on any hard surface. Blurr comes with his Titan Master partner Hyperfire, who fits into his vehicle mode cockpit and transforms into his robot mode head. In his vehicle mode, Blurr can accommodate up to two additional Titan Masters via a pair of smaller pegs that allow other Titan Master figures to stand on him. Compared to most other figures in the toyline, Blurr features very minimal paint apps, creating a nearly monochromatic color scheme in robot mode.
- In his robot mode, Blurr can use the hood of his vehicle mode as a shield, which plugs into his forearm via a 5mm port. The shield can deploy a sort of skid and seat one Titan Master, serving as... a tiny hovercraft? Some kind of toboggan? (We're not entirely sure.) As with every other Titans Return toy, Blurr can accommodate any Titan Master figure in both robot and vehicle mode.
- Blurr, along with his fellow sparsely-detailed blue-colored wavemate Scourge, was a strong shelfwarmer among the Titans Return toyline.
- Blurr was retooled and recolored into Titans Return Brainstorm, Nautica and Arcee.

- The 5-pack is released as a Target exclusive, and comes with a poster of the 1986 movie.
