Wyatt put Blurr's "still-beating spark" in the animation model for the compacted cube. Aside from the obvious homage aspect, Blurr also has the same voice actor as his Generation 1 inspiration, though Moschitta's speed-speech skill is given a different twist, namely that he no longer repeats himself.At the BotCon 2008 Cartoon Network panel, it was revealed that Blurr's design has a few small homages to Transtech Cheetor, mainly the "hollow" wheels in his legs.This item has been canceled, with no current plans for release. This toy was retooled into Animated TransTech Cheetor. His feet can swivel and have ball-jointed toes and heels, which lets him easily pull off running poses, if you can see him doing that sort of thing. There's also softer rubber on the tips of his shoulders, so that you don't poke your eye out, and with a Transformer like Blurr, you need a few precautions like that. The fin on the top of his head is molded in bendy rubber, which is fortunate, as it'd probably snap off really easily if it wasn't. These parts stick out a hair, though, so his mobility in vehicle mode is unhindered. Due to his leg design, the very middle of Blurr's rear wheels are the only parts that roll, while the sides do not. A button on his hood deploys an energy saw weapon which can double as a shield or clip onto his back in robot mode. Part of the fifth wave of Animated Deluxes, Blurr transforms into a sleek futuristic race car.
Bumblebee missed everything he said past the first sentence.
This angered Blurr, so he transformed into robot mode, introduced himself and his mission, and gave Bumblebee the chewing out of a lifetime, all in about thirty seconds. The yellow bot chased him around for a while, until he finally knocked Blurr off the road. Blurr sped off to try to stop Megatron, but was instead stopped by Bumblebee. Now he won't shut up.īlurr intercepted a transmission between Megatron and a double agent on Cybertron revealing that Bulkhead was the best space bridge technician in the entire galaxy, and would thus be a target for kidnapping. Bee called out a thank you, but Blurr gave no response. Later that night, Bumblebee was on the roof of the Autobots' factory base when he spotted Blurr driving down a nearby highway past the building. When Blitzwing was about to attack Bumblebee, Blurr charged off a bridge and played a mid-air game of chicken with Blitzwing, causing the Decepticon to veer off and crash into a skyscraper. Later, the AllSpark Key detected the AllSpark fragment, so Sari stole the remote control to investigate it, which apparently broke Master Disaster's control over Blurr. Blurr proved impossible to beat on the race course under Master Disaster's control, Blurr used aggressive tactics and sped past Bumblebee twice, even though the yellow Autobot was using his rocket boosters. This was because Master Disaster manipulated him using a remote control that contained an AllSpark fragment. Dispatchesīlurr initially became known to the Autobots on Earth through his participation in Master Disaster's Street Demon races. Unknown to Bumblebee, Blurr is secretly his older brother, Rex, who ran away from home years ago!īlurr was present at Autobot Memorial Plaza in Iacon, as Sentinel Prime delivered the eulogy on Optimus Prime's supposedly fallen crew.
