Transformers Spotlight: Blaster

[Paulbot]

Understandably, the toys and their engineering are foremost of any collectors mind but of equal relevance I believe is the fiction behind these characters.

For some. I'd say Im 40% Transformers Toy collector and 60% Transformers Comic collector.

One of the key issues about Blaster is that he always appeared and was automatically dubbed the archnemesis of Soundwave. Given their alt modes, it was only natural.

Except in the G1 comics where Blaster and Soundwave were seldom even in the same comic.

I read that one of Furman's intentions with this comic was to try to blend the fun Cartoon Blaster and the serious warrior Comic Blaster which he did do but I don't know how successful it was.

I do enjoy the idea of Blaster as the Autobot's propoganda agent.
