Games

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)

Voice actor: Keith Silverstein

When the Autobots came into possession of a large amount of energon, Starscream tasked the Combaticons with diverting the transport by destroying a bridge. Vortex and Blast Off were sent to clear a short cut to allow Brawl to take a drop ship through. Blast Off went through first, drawing out Autobot mines for Vortex to destroy. Once they got through the ruins, the Autobots closed some huge shutters, so Blast Off went ahead, leaving Vortex behind to fight all the Autobots by himself. Once the bridge was down and Swindle brought the transport to a halt, the Combaticons combined into Bruticus and smashed through the rest of its defenses. Unfortunately the damage they did resulted in the transport crashing. Starscream was not very pleased at all and had them all arrested.

Blast Off and the Combaticons were later freed once Megatron was resurrected and retook his leadership. They were aboard the Nemesis as it pursued the Ark and Blast Off took part in the assault on the Autobot ship's engines as part of Bruticus. The giant took out many Autobots before he was taken down by the combined efforts of Jazz and the Aerialbots before floating free of the Ark. Fall of Cybertron

He's like the Organ that played Rocket Man.

• Decepticon Bruticus (multi-pack, 2012)

Accessories: 2 hand-held blasters/tailfins

This San Diego Comic-Con 2012 exclusive pack contains all five Combaticons in (theoretically) game-accurate colors. Unlike the largely gray game model, SDCC Blast Off is mostly a caramel color.

This toy was "redecoed" into its own mass-release deco, below, as well as into a Generation 2-styled Blast Off. It was later retooled into Topspin.

I'm the version you really want

• Blast-Off (Deluxe, 2012)
  • Series/number: 01/#008
  • PART 2 OF 5!
  • Accessories: 2 hand-held blasters/tailfins

Part of the second wave of 2012 Generations Deluxe Class figures, Blast Off transforms from a purple Cybertronic space shuttle into a robot. In addition, Blast Off can form any limb of Bruticus, though his default position is as the right arm. Two thumbs are hidden in the wrist of the altmode, one for either arm position. Blast Off's two handheld blasters also combine with the weapons of the other components to form Bruticus's sonic cannon.

Blast Off's arm mode is much longer than the arm modes of the other components. A shorter arm mode can be achieved, but this is not advisable as it puts incredible stress on Blast Off's torso and may damage it.

Notes

• Blast off's Amour set and indvidual parts are avalible in the Havoc pack DLC for Fall of Cybertron, his parts are labeled as "Wingman"

Foreign names
