Blast Off is a Decepticon in the Generation 1 continuity family.
MTMTEBlastOff

Ground control to Major Denial...

Blast Off doesn't need a write-up in some pathetic, grubby little human database. It might matter to some robots what others think of them, or if they think of them at all, but Blast Off could care less. No, he's literally and figuratively above your average Cybertronian riff-raff. The other Combaticons could completely forget he's up here, orbiting so far above the Earth, distant and alone... with only the cold, empty void for company... and he couldn't care less. No, certainly not.

Lesser robots could hardly understand the joy... yes, thats it, the joy, he finds in efficiently and remorselessly annihilating targets from such a great distance. Blast Off was quite simply "built better" than the rest, you see, and so needs nothing from those tiny beings moving about so... so very... far away below. Blast Off... Blast Off is quite happy with his superior position, yes, quite happy and... and quite alone.

Blast Off condecends to combine with his fellow Combaticons to form Bruticus.

Hungarian name: Kilövő


Fiction

Generation 1 animated continuity

Voice actor: Milt Jamin (US)

Blast Off was one of several Decepticon political prisoners personality components that were "liberated" by Starscream. Somehow he turned from the chassis of a World War II bomber to a Space Shuttle once he was activated.

Marvel Comics continuity

Blastoff

Witness my incredible ROCKET FEET!

Blast Off, Lord of the Skies, was beaten up by a cloud. Sometime later, he and his fellow Combaticons were sent on a hunting mission by Decepticon command, and spent several weeks tracking and tormenting Blaster and the Throttlebots, who had recently interfered with their schemes. After being beaten by Blaster and Defensor in battle, though, Blast Off was slapped with a mode-lock device so that Blaster could remote control him, taking his human friends the Spacehikers for a spin around outer space. Unfortunately, Blaster was at odds with Autobot leader Grimlock at the time as well, and Blast Off and his passengers were forcibly captured by the Ark. The Decepticon later either escaped Autobot custody on his own, or was rescued along with Omega Supreme's victims by the Constructicons. Totaled!

Dreamwave continuity

Shortly after Optimus Prime became the new Autobot Supreme Commander, Blast Off took part in the Decepticon assault upon Iacon. Blast Off enjoyed strutting his stuff in his less aerodynamic but more heavily armed original form.

Millions of years later, Blast Off, along with his fellow Combaticons, was imprisioned by Shockwave, until they were released by Starscream.

When Sunstorm appeared on Earth, the battered Combaticons were ordered by Starscream to combine into Bruticus and deal with the crazed zealot. It did not end well.

G1DW SkyLynx defeats Combaticons

The repaired Combaticons were brought to the Guadalcanal where they could hone their somewhat lackluster combat skills and listen to Starscream's long-winded aspirations of glory. Starscream orders them to defeatthe magnificent Autobot Sky Lynx as a means to train themselves for greater battles. Blast Off declared to Vortex to 'take [Sky Lynx] down', but unfortunately, the Combaticons do not fare well when the crafty Autobot splits into his two forms, and Blast Off is embarassingly grabbed in the flying form's jaws.

This was the least of their troubles, however, as Predaking showed up as soon as Sky Lynx was deactivated. This encounter also did not end well. The Route of All Evil


Devil's Due G.I. Joe vs the Transformers comics continuity

As part of Serpent O.R.'s forces, Blast Off defended thenewly unified Decepticon army's base against a combined Autobot/G.I. Joe strike force. The Art of War, Part 5

Toys

Generation 1

  • Blast Off (Combaticon, 1986/1990)
Japanese ID number: D-65
G1Blastoff toy

What are you talking about? I see olive green space shuttles driving down the road all the time.

Blast Off transforms into a Rockwell International NASA Space Shuttle. In this mode, he is armed with two laser cannons mounted his engines.
In robot mode Blast Off is armed with a small laser pistol and his two laser cannons, which are now mounted on his legs. Along with fellow Combaticon Vortex, Blast Off is the first Transformer figure to use ball joints, located in his shoulders. He usually forms Bruticus' right arm, but as a Scramble City toy, he can be connected with any limb slot on Bruticus.
This mold was also used to make Operation Combination Shuttle Gunner, Robots in Disguise Movor and Universe Movor.

Generation 2

  • Blast Off (Combaticon, 1994)
Team ID number: C3
In Generation 2, Blast Off was redecoed white with purple camoflage... for all the times you need purple camoflage in space.

Merchandise

A digital wristwatch of Blast Off's shuttle mode was released during Generation 2. This did not have a robot mode, however.

Trivia

  • Blast Off's animation model apparently mis-interpreted his forehead crest as a visor, giving him one funkily-arranged face.
