Or even Pioneer or Kicker or Infinity brand  "sponsor" decals

That's a really cool idea; a huge Pioneer decal all over his sides would be cool. :tfevil

My vote goes for 104.1, the Blaze. It's a heavy metal station in my area, and fitting for the new and improved version of Blaster.

I'm going to be the one who has to say it-  I think it looks bad.  Not the red mind you (although its really bright) but the yellow hood/tape deck- why would a car have that design on its hood?  Sure its what Blaster looked like, but in car mode it looks silly.

 

I say leave Blaster as is in BTA, and make a red repaint into Ironhide.

I'm more in this camp with pike.  I'm really looking forward to my BT version of him, and I think he'll look good gray despite what everyone says.  :tfgrin

Cool. Still looks like Ironhide to me, dress as Blaster for Halloween.

I would paint my van to look like that....then again I wouldn't be caught dead in a scion.

Before I read hellopike's post, this was pretty much what I was going to say. The digipaint is totally G1 Blaster, but it would look a little silly in real life. No one would paint their hood like that. The unofficial Alternators version of Brawn has the same problem: the hood needs to be a completely different color than the rest of the vehicle to capture the G1-ness of the character. Maybe some gold colored snap-on armor that fits over the hood would work.

 

I still think the arms are WAY too puny for this mold. Given how big this guy's chest is, his arms should be beefed up majorly.

Well, I've said this before, but I'll reiterate:  while having it's roots in G1, I don't have the overwhelming desire to have G1 carbon copies in this line.  Nostogalic nods are one thing, but to have to have every single Alt/BT that comes out to have to look look exactly like G1 isn't just redundant - it's boring. 

 

I'm thinking Broadblast is going to look good as is.  I don't believe the images we've seen thus far are doing him justice.  The gray won't look so dull and drab once we see it in diecast metal.  Also, customization is indicitatve of the Scion culture, so the toy lends itself well to our little neck of the woods.  When Alt Skids hits, I think I'll be among the many who'll be getting some for customs of all sorts, not just trying to figure out how to handle Blaster.

i know one i'm gonna make from the xbox is soundblaster.
