Blaster’s an Irrelevant Moron
Remember the cassette deck guy from the Transformers?
While other robots were changing into fighter jets, semi trucks, or sports cars, Blaster was transforming into a boombox that played cassette tapes. Let me get this straight: In the future we'll have robots that fight with lasers and change into various forms of transportation, but we'll still rely on analog technology and cassette tapes?
The people who created the Transformers were short-sighted idiots.

I don’t remember that, but in 2005..after a couple of drinks, I tranform into an 8-track player.
“You should be dancing, yeah…”

Blaster wasn’t the only tapedeck. There was also Soundwave, a decepticon.
Lolz. Tapedeck transformers are gh3y.

Yeah but those cassette tapes transforms into some badass stuff, like guard dogs and eagles. A CD can transform into a frisbee, at best.

He more than made up for it by popping out the Rumble cassette tape. That fucker came out, laid down some seismic ground pounding and started the drum and bass movement as we know it today.

You know what bothered me on the Transformers? The fact that the loud thumping car (JAzz) was voiced by a white guy trying to sound black. It was so racist.
December 28th, 2005 - 16:20
That’s the worst. Racist Transformers should be dissassembled a la Short Circuit.

maybe the tape deck plays stuff like metallica to make heads explode..

What was teh deal with the one that transformed into a gun? Why was he so much bigger when in robot form and small enough to fit in another transformer hand when in gun mode?
And Optomis Prime, what the hell happen to the trailer when he went to robot mode?
Why not just blow off a big ol’ EMP and take care of them all. They all thought they were gods that us puney humans couldn’t do without.
I would have been pissed off knowing 90% of my tax dollars went to repairing the damage they caused in their heroic adventures saving the world. Kinda reminds me of the opening of ‘Team America” Fuck Yea!

It wouldn’t much matter what the technology was so long as it was “music” from Ashlee Simpson. That’s more deadly than lasers right?
December 29th, 2005 - 07:45
No, no, no, no. If you’re going to use that type of ammo, stick Cileon Dieon (Or whatever way you spell that french broad’s name)
December 29th, 2005 - 08:31
Near, far, whereeeeeever you are!
Lame.

Hell yeah they were short-sighted! I couldn’t tell you how disappointred I was with the Tranformers movie. They killed off all these characters that I loved and then made all these new ones. What the fuck is that!!!
But Blaster was still the coolest mofo of the bunch… he talked all that jive, man!
December 31st, 2005 - 05:14
Soundwave was way cooler than Blaster because he had Laserbeak and Ravage.

Such self-righteous indignation concerning an overly commercialized kid show.
You do realise that the Decepticons and Autobots had ‘acclimatized’ themselves to the native environment of planet earth by assuming forms and shapes found therein. Human civilizations were part of this environment, and since the transformers are basically animated chunks of sentient technology, they adapted their outershells to 20th century technology in order to ‘blend’ in, and escape undesired attention from the natives. (in accordance to their cultural ethos and modus operandi)
The intro-song should have cued you in as well, ‘robots in disguise…’.
January 11th, 2006 - 08:03
Hahaha! Yes!
Okay. I stand corrected.
But did he shrink down to the size of a normal boom-box so he could blend in? Or was he a 20 ft tall red and yellow boom-box? Either way it doesn’t make sense to me.
