First I want to give a BIG shout out to Gaino Dollins for voicing Blaster in the intro for the video. Second, I'm seeing a LOT of comments about Titans Return Blaster. My research suggested that Soundwave was developed first, or at the same time even though Blaster was released at first. Ken Christiansen released artwork of Soundwave of this as well, which leads me to believe that they were both in mind when Titans Return was in development. Either way, the point of Blaster and Soundwave sharing a mold a lot still rings true.

That commercial was poking fun at how many times Soundwave snuck into places with 'someone lost this neat cassette player' (including the Ark thanks to human allies) like that, and since Cons don't have human allies they used one of the cassettes for additional irony. To be fair, Rumble would of only cared it could be loud and annoying to others, so it's actually fairly accurate he'd be that dense to do so.

Pure awesomeness! As a kid in the 80’s and loooong before we found out, there was a running joke among me and my friends (black, white and Latino) that Jazz and Blaster were “brothers”; meaning had they been human they would’ve been black. As adults and now knowing they were voiced by black men, it makes those memories so much better. Thanks for a great video Rodimus!

I remember Blaster and Soundwave's fight in the night club. Soundwave was winning the fight until Blaster used speakers to greatly increase his sound based powers to knock back Soundwave and win the fight. It showed how Soundwave was older, more experienced and more powerful then Blaster which isn't surprising.

The voice was done by Buster Jones who appeared on The Six Million Dollar Man and did voices for Black Vulcan from the Super Friends, Doc from G.I.Joe, Winston from the Real Ghostbusters, and Jem. RIP Buster. 😢
