Blaster (G1)
Blaster is an Autobot in Generation 1. In Japanese continuity he is later rebuilt as Twincast.
Blaster loves all Earth music, especially good, hard, LOUD Rock and Roll. A powerful fighter who tends to make his presence known, you can find him at the forefront of any situation he's involved in. (Blaster's personality varried immensely between G1 comic and toon, see those entries for details.)
Fiction
Marvel Comic
War is dirty, violent, and mean. I don't want your company or your friendship, just your help in blasting those Decepticon rust-buckets into hot, burning slag. Blaster in the Marvel Comics was a rather grim, rebelious loner and one of the best, kick-@$$ fighters the Autobots had. He had a bit of a problem with authority and hated Decepticons with a passion due to the death of his former partner Scrounge. He developed a bit of a rivalry with Grimlock whose orders he disliked and a reluctant friendship with Goldbug whose more naturally upbeat personality provided the Boy-Wonder to his Batman.
