Blurr
Alliance: Autobot
Identification: Autobot Courier
Year released: 1986
Accessories: 1 electro-laser
Comments: "I'm trying to get them into the shuttle Ultra Magnus because I know we can't launch the shuttle until I get them
into the shuttle but I can't get them into the shuttle because they're impossible..impossible....impossible!!!". Now say that really
freakin' fast and you've got Blurr. He was first introduced in the movie and was the blue futuristic car that talked really fast!!
The figure looks pretty good. I was never too impressed with his robot form. However, his auto form is identical to the cartoon
version. He has a slick blue design with a shield plate in the front. This shield plate detatches when forming the robot version
and becomes a weapon. He also comes with a blue blaster.
Like most figures of the third year, he is made mostly of plastic. However, it's tough plastic! Nothing that will break during
transformation or anything like that.
All in all a nice piece. The particular one I own is a "Poster box" version. This means it was the very first to be released. It came out to promote the movie and had a contest entry inside. The "Poster box" versions are the more sought after ones (if you're into differences in packaging and such).
You know what would be cool.....if he had a pull string with one of his sayings! That would have been cool. Well, "transform,
transform, you can do it, I know you can do it, you can do it!!"
Blurr is the fastest Autobot on land. He's a close descendent to a thoroughbred Cybertronic race horse and a superior messenger. He can quickly whisk information from one place to another in robot mode. He carries an electro-laser that reverses the polarity of an enemy robot's microcircuits and leaves them motionless. Range: 10 miles. In vehicular mode, he can travel faster than the speed of sound, leaving a blurred image in his trail.
