- Blurr vs Buzzsaw (Multi-pack, 2005)
- Japanese ID number: GS-01
- Accessories: 2 launchers, 2 missiles, Speed Planet Key
He'd be a lot faster if his legs moved. Having his entire alt-mode on his back doesn't help either.
- A retool of Armada Blurr, Cybertron Blurr transforms into a sleek Cybertronic race car. As he comes with no Mini-Con, inserting his Cyber Planet Key into the space under Blurr's spoiler causes the rear side panels of Blurr's car mode to flip down into a "flight mode". This mode also makes his twin spring-loaded missile launchers available, which become hand-held weapons in robot mode. These missile launchers have been similarly retooled to remove the Powerlinx gimmick, replaced with traditional firing tabs. Blurr also features a new head, based heavily upon Generation 1 Blurr. In Japan, he was only available in a "vs set" with Buzzsaw.
- Blurr (Deluxe, 2005)
- Accessories: 2 launchers, 2 missiles, Speed Planet Key
- For his Hasbro release, Blurr was available as an individual Deluxe. He is unchanged form the Japanese releases.
Who is Blurr?
In the Japanese Galaxy Force line, Blurr is described as being a high-strung, super-fast scout from Cybertron, effectively an alternate-universe incarnation of Generation 1 Blurr. He was sent as an advance scout to the Speed Planet. This, of course, was never part of the show's events.
But in the Hasbro Cybertron line, Blurr has two separate profiles, both of which also contradict his appearance on the show. The first one[1] was published on his packaging and can easily be interpreted as that of a native Velocitronian, a short-tempered race caoch. The second one [2], which appeared online after the toy had been released stateside, explicitly characterizes him as the character from Armada.
Finally, the later text story "The Dark Heart of Sandokan" follows the lead of the Hasbro packaging bio, explicitly stating that Blurr is an elder Velocitronian, giving him a much more Lou-Gosset-Jr.-y temperament with his newest student, Excellion.
All this is on top of the use of Blurr's vehicle mode model being used in various colors —including the toy's— as generic Transformers from both Cybertron and Velocitron. Amusingly enough, his vs-pack-mate Buzzsaw appears as a native (and neutral) Velocitronian as well.
As such... exactly who the Cybertron Blurr toy represents is pretty damn up in the air. Take your pick, you have a lot of canon choices.
