Cloud Blaster was repurposed from the TakaraTomy release of Generations Blaster. "Autobot Blaster" is a redeco and retool of Fall of Cybertron Soundwave, with a new, grinning head, as well as a new chest, wheels, and weapon. He transforms into an SUV-style "communications truck", and comes with a rifle which is based on Generation 1 Blaster's electro-scrambler. The rifle can peg (via 5mm post) into his hands, right shoulder, and roof/back, and the rifle itself features a peg-hole on each side.

He also comes with Legends Class Steeljaw, who is a redeco/retool of Ravage, and utilizes Blaster's main gimmick, which is that he is capable of storing and launching Steeljaw and other "data disc" minions. When a button to the left of his head is pressed, his spring-loaded chest compartment is opened, allowing up to three data discs to be stored inside. When the disc/s is/are stored, his back panel/roof now acts as a plunger, and pushing/sliding on this plunger in either mode launches the disc/s out of his chest compartment, wherein they will land on and depress the buttons on their undersides, thus triggering their spring-loaded transformation mechanisms and springing them into action! ...Hopefully.

As an undocumented feature, the seat on his vehicle roof holds Diaclone drivers. Additionally, Blaster's trigger finger is molded into his left hand, presumably so he can push his own eject button.
