The Microchange Version of G1 Blaster.

 

Can someone who has this figure take some really in-depth shots of the differences between him and g1 blaster? Most especially the Faux cassette/radio, the cassette door, the rear cassette storage, and the working knobs/dials/sliders/whatever.

Are you talking about those weird radio bots from Argentina?

No, MC-21 Radio Cassette Robo, released in 1984 in Japan.

Yep that's it, its the exact same mold as g1 blaster, but it had actuall working internals and had some small mold variations. For example, on the MC-21 the rear "battery" door is where you actually stored cassette's. This was because his actuall tape door had a electronic connector meant for the faux cassette, and in actuality the cassette itself was the radio and blaster was more or less a speaker dock/amplifier for it.

 

Now... here is my problem. We seem to know everything about this guy...in text... we don't seem to have any pictures of the electronic mechanisms or mold differences. I'm hoping there is at least 1 person out there that can and is willing to take some good pictures of the figure. If we do get pictures I think we should submit them to TFU so that they can add it as "variations" on the g1 blaster page.

Yep, he origionaly came with Rumble

 

I know a guy with one, I'll see if he can send me some pics.

 

Not sure, but if I recall the tape door hase a dial slide towards the top, and I think 2 dials in the back but I really cant be sure. PreTansformers had a few more bots then Soundwave and Blaster.

 

-pretty cool molds actualy.

I've got 2 on my list... and pictures of them too. NOTE: I don't own them.

 

There is a RED one with a BLUE tape door and...
