Blurr (Cyberverse)
| The name or term "Blurr" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Blurr (disambiguation). |
- Blurr is a Velocitronian Autobot from the Cyberverse continuity family.
Blurr is the Autobots' high-speed intelligence agent. There one second and gone the next, this Velocitronian is fast enough to drive circles around any Decepticon. Of course, his mouth is every bit as fast as his wheels, making it nearly impossible for his teammates to catch what he's saying half the time.[1]

Blurr welcomed his old friend Bumblebee when he arrived on Velocitron for a visit, though he quickly sparked a rivalry with Bee's guest, Hot Rod. He encouraged them to try one of the tracks off the beaten path if they wanted the best racing experience, leading them to a massive and dangerous course. The three took off at high speed, but Blurr neglected to mention part of the track was being repaired, causing Hot Rod to wipe out. Their argument was interrupted by a crashing repair drone infected by the Plague of Rust, which began quickly spreading. Blurr quickly led them to his garage, believing it would keep them safe and refusing to leave his home. Unfortunately, a plague victim managed to breach the door, proving it less safe than expected. Finally relenting, Blurr led Bumblebee and Hot Rod to the space bridge as the planet continued to deteriorate, but they realized someone would have to stay behind to operate the bridge while the others escaped. Blurr volunteered, revealing he had unwittingly caught the plague himself and couldn't risk spreading it. As the others entered the portal, Blurr was consumed by rust and reduced to dust.

Later, while searching for a part of Windblade's consciousness on Luna 3, Bumblebee encountered Blurr's spirit. Challenging the Autobot to another race, the entity zoomed off into the distance. Alien Hunt! With Meteorfire and Cosmos

- Blurr (1-Step Changer, 2018)
- Part of the first wave of Cyberverse 1-Step Changers, Blurr is a redeco of Robots in Disguise Blurr, painted to disguise the fact that he is a completely different design. He transforms from robot to vehicle (or vice-versa) with a single step that automatically swings everything into position. Unlike most prior 1-Step Changers, Blurr has a little extra articulation (aka "any articulation") with simple swivel shoulders. Naturally, he lacks the scannable roof insignia from the Robots in Disguise toy.
- This Blurr can ride on Stomp & Chomp Grimlock, although it does not activate any of the larger figure's gimmicks.
Notes
- As with the rest of the Cyberverse cast, Blurr presumably uses an evergreen design inspired by his Generation 1 counterpart. More specifically, with its head-wings and windshield chest, the design is heavily based on Blurr's 2005-2018 IDW design, which debuted in Spotlight: Blurr prior to its appearance in All Hail Megatron.
- Meanwhile, his status as a Velocitronian is lifted from his counterpart from Transformers: Cybertron, which was also used for Aligned Blurr.
- Blurr's character bio on the Hasbro Cyberverse site notes that he speaks remarkably fast, not unlike his Generation 1 and Animated counterparts. However, he speaks normally in "Terminal Velocity".
