Talk:Blast Off (G1)

Blast Off and the rest of the Combaticons reformatted the WWII Vehicles using "Transmuter" technology(Confirmed in BT Shockwave's booklet, page nine), the same thing that Ravage used to make Alt Shockwave from Jazz's stolen design specs and an ordanary car. So "Somehow he turned from the chassis of a World War II bomber to a Space Shuttle once he was activated. He would probably place this on him being a sophisticated Transformer." is inaccurate. It was also a component in one of Cobra's schemes, before it was used in the Transformers Mythos. 85.195.123.25 20:27, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

If that's the explanation, throw it in. I left that bit from the previous version in because I didn't have any official explanation.WWise 20:35, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

In the description of Blast Off's G1 toy mode, there's a word or two left out. All it says is: "In this mode, he is armed with two laser cannons mounted his engines." Does anyone know whether the cannons are mounted on or next to his engines? I'd like to clarify it, but I don't have the toy and I can't tell from the image... amp 18:22, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

I'd say "next to" because the cannons are actually mounted on his wings. --74.57.3.251 19:19, 4 February 2008 (UTC) (Detour, at work)

The cannons actually plug into two of his three engine exhaust vents. They're J-shaped and wrap around the back of his fuselage to point forwards. -- Repowers 20:48, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Really? Wow. That's what I get for having only an accessory-less G2 Blastoff to base my judgements on. Thanks for clarifying. --74.57.3.251 21:35, 4 February 2008 (UTC) (Detour still at work)

Disambiguation

We need a Blast Off (disambiguation) page now, because of Blast Off (FOC). --Primo 18:49, 18 December 2011 (EST)

Go for it. - Starfield 18:57, 18 December 2011 (EST)

Bio vs Kreo

Blast Off's Kre-O bio is very true to the G1 character. The Kre-O bio works great because it is him talking just like he really would be, playing up the idea that he is perfectly happy. There are subtle hints that he doesn't really mean it. Favorite sound: The silence of space, where I spend all my time so very, very alone. Blast Off's wiki write up might be a wee bit misleading if people take it as face value because the wiki narrator is doing the talking. People might not get that he he is really just lonely. He also merely shows no remorse for shooting people from great distances and not outright joy. - Starfield 18:17, 13 February 2013 (EST)

I think our bio is pretty clear and works in exactly the same way the Kreo does. It relies on the reader having some intelligence and being able to read tone and subtext, but thats a good thing imo. We shouldn't write down to the lowest denominator. This is one of our better bios imo.--ZacWilliam 18:46, 13 February 2013 (EST)
