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

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

Blast Off was one of several Decepticon political prisoners personality components that were "liberated" by Starscream. His Cargo Plane body was reformatted into a Space Shuttle.

Marvel Comics continuity

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 (G1)Ark. The Decepticon later either escaped Autobot custody on his own, or was rescued along with Omega Supreme's victims by the Constructicons. Totaled!

Witness my incredible ROCKET FEET!

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

As part of Serpent O.R.'s forces, Blast Off defended the New 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.
