Now I want to see GEM Blaster playing the keytar next to Boombox mode regular blaster while they and the GEM girls dance in TR Blaster's base mode dance club.

Oh, and I did look it up on tfwiki, which I should have done in the first place, apparently Thunderwing DID fight with the Classic Pretenders, so if they reuse mini-Jazz as a shell filler, it would make a great deal of sense for Age of Evolution as a call-back.

The ultimate would be if they're brave enough to give me a Pretender Shell for Jazz that looks like his G1 voice actor. THAT would be an amazing Marvel/G1 Cartoon/Original Toyline combo homage! Heck, it's a shell, just give it alternate heads/swappable faces on the helmet if they really want to hedge their bets against the 'it must look the same as G1' people.

I'm curious about Blaster's instruments. They look like they transform into something.

Would love the cereal set, but things are too tight right now.

ANOTHER PIECE to add to this Outrageous monstrosity!

I get the feeling once they decided to use Jem as a cover to do Kiss Players cassettes they ended up locked into a mould that was cassette mould compatible.

Now I'd have loved a Rockin' Roadster Transformer with maybe some decent 3.75" Jem figures (not too dissimilar from the Jetfire/Void Rivals set from a few years ago) but it's clear that they were dead set on the cassette idea, which limited options.

I'd have still given Blaster a new head and used the name "Synergy" though.

I think what could have been neat, if along with the head they tried to make "Synergy" Blaster look like Synergy's Console like the chest door as a computer screen, the buttons as a keyboard.

I'm kind of nonplussed that they tooled a new head that basically looks the same but with an iffily-executed expression. Like, give him Bret Hart or star-shaped shades, or something to parallel Sir Soundwave's bandana, or something.

An actual Comic style head seems like it would’ve been a better use since they bizarrely never tooled one before.
