Fuzer & Autobot Blast Master (Micromaster, 2020)
Hasbro ID number: WFC-E16
TakaraTomy ID number: ER EX-11
TakaraTomy release date: October 23, 2020
Part of the second wave of Earthrise Micromaster two-packs, Fuzer (presumably renamed due to trademark reasons) and ”Autobot Blast Master” transform from robots into a licensed NASA space shuttle — a rarity in modern Transformers toys. The NASA logo is printed twice on the shuttle mode’s rear.
The shuttle has ports on the back thrusters to add blast effects or to stand up on a post to simulate taking off, as well as a smaller third port to accommodate a display stand such as a Bandai Action Base. However, if one wants to keep the Micromasters separated, Fuzer bears a comically small set of thrusters on his rear. It tucks away out of sight when Fuzer combines with Blast Master. Also, as with Blast Master, Fuzer has a fold-out 5 mm post, allowing the combined duo to be held as a C.O.M.B.A.T. System weapon, with Blast Master’s rockets serving as gun barrels. They can also be held separately as two individual weapons, as Fuzer’s tiny thrusters can be used to attach blast effects as well.
Fuzer has several extra points of articulation owing to his transformation; he has both hinge and socket joints at his arms as well as a small amount of waist swiveling. Fuzer has two guns that cannot be removed, as they are molded into his hands. Of course, due to his back panel causing obstruction in robot mode, Fuzer’s legs easily pop off at the thigh if one tries to move them.
Blast Master suffers from his back weight; getting him to stand up properly without altering his knees is a monumental challenge.
