Blaster is an Autobot with the function of Communications. He loves all Earth music, especially rock’n’roll and he is "in the forefront of any situation he’s involved in" (according to his Tech Spec). Blaster belongs to the group called Actionmasters which are based on both existing and new Transformers characters. The Actionmasters do not transform, but their weapons or vehicles do. In this case Blaster's "Flight-Pack" transforms into a gun.

The Generation 1 Blaster was released in 1990.
