- Blazemaster is an Autobot from the Revenge of the Fallen franchise in the live-action film continuity family.
Blazemaster is thought by many of his Autobot comrades to be haywire. He will fly over Decepticons, intentionally alerting them of his presence. Once that's done, he starts dropping corrosive gel on them, watching as they run for their lives.
He transforms into a Channel 7 news copter.

- Blazemaster transforms into a gold and blue helicoptor similar to a Bell 412, but with some cues from other Bell models. The cockpit has translucent blue plastic, through which Blazemaster's head is amusingly visible. Channel 7 Action News tampographs are on both sides of the fuselage, and 7 News tampos on the tail. The top propellor can be spun using a gear-driven action by pressing the small blue button just under it. The tail rotor cannot move.
- In robot mode, the top rotor can be used as a spinning weapon, or split in half to sit on both arms. There are some issues with this, however, as the propellor does not like to sit in the position shown in the instructions (it tends to rotate down) and the second piece does not fit snuggly into its socket, which has one side open to accommodate conversion. There are also a pair of thumbs inside the engine cowling that converts into Blazemaster's arms, despite not having actual hands.
Trivia
- The only U.S. television station using the "Channel 7 Action News" name is WXYZ-TV in Detroit. No word on if their traffic copter is actually a pyromaniac space robot.
- Blazemaster has quite a few similarities to Ben Procter's concept art for the rejected character Springer.
