Product Information

Although he wasn't on the initial casualty list, Blaster was revived alongside the Autobots who fell before the crazed Superion, during the outbreak of the Hate Plague. He travelled with the resurrected Optimus Prime and the other survivors of the plague to planet Chaar to recover a heat-resistant alloy that would shield Prime from the plague's effect, but succumbed to the disease while battling infected Decepticons. He and all other sufferers were cured when Prime used the wisdom of the Matrix of Leadership to eradicate the plague. The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 2

After Perceptor detected chronal energy emanating from an asteroid near Cybertron, Rodimus Prime sent a squad of Autobots with him to investigate, including Blaster with Ramhorn and Rewind. They encountered a Quintesson expedition and a school of Sharkticons, which Ramhorn relished in ramming repeatedly. During the fight, however, the Autobots accidentally passed through the Quintessons' Time Window, arriving 11 million years in the past. They met Beta, and took up arms in the original Cybertronian revolution against the Quintessons. They held the line against the Dark Guardians long enough for the Autobots of 2006 to return the revolution's leader A-3 from the future. As A-3 turned the Coder Remote on the Guardians, the Autobots returned to the present through the time window.
