Recap / Transformers G 1 Blaster Blues

Go To

Radios across Earth suddenly experience 'technical difficulties.' Once alerted to this trouble, the Autobots trace the source of the trouble the moon-located Megatron and Decepticons. With all sorts of human matters experiencing trouble, many Autobots have a lot on their plates. Fighting the Decepticons head-on, though, falls to Blaster who has been itching to prove the worth of his unique power and Cosmos. Omega Supreme also takes on Astrotrain. However, can they all get the job done?


This episode contains examples of:

  • Absent-Minded Professor: The guy who built the machine the Decepticons steal wishes to discover intelligent life in space, ignoring the robots on his planet that came from space.
  • Big "SHUT UP!": The Autobots say this to Blaster after he annoys them with his music.
  • Here We Go Again!: Blaster blares his music one last time as the Autobots leave the now-destroyed moonbase. Optimus tells him to shut up as they leave.
  • Incessant Music Madness: Blaster transmits the music at the concert to the Autobots who are obviously annoyed at it. He's genuinely dismayed when most of the Autobots don't like it and yell at him to shut up.
    Blaster: Hey, guys! I was only trying to turn you on to some good tunes!
  • Living Battery: After getting captured, Cosmos and Blaster are put into the machine to power it up.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Blaster inadvertently ruins a call to help the Absent-Minded Professor save his invention from Megatron, kickstarting the conflict.
  • Only One Finds It Fun: Most of the Autobots are annoyed by Blaster's music, but Jazz and Cosmos are the only ones who actually like it. Jazz is even seen breakdancing to it while the other Autobots are covering their ears.
  • The Radio Dies First: The Decepticons steal a machine to control the airwaves causing human kind to be unable to communicate with airplanes, trains and cars before accidents happen. It even interferes with communications with the Autobots.
  • Remember the New Guy?: Omega Supreme turns up here though unlike the others, The Secret of Omega Supreme would show where he came from.
  • Tempting Fate: Astrotrain thinks that Omega will never catch him in shuttle mode. Cue Omega transforming to robot mode, plucking Astrotrain out of the air and hurling the guy several feet.
