    I have the orignal one with the battery type cover in the back. The reissue as a flat, smooth back with no unscrewable back panel to remove.

    Second, the bar that holds the arms is PLASTIC!! My original one is metal.

    Third, the legs are kinda light brown-silver. My old one is more silver.

    Note I keep on saying mine bc I know there are different versions of the original Blaster out there.

    Received mine today from BBTS. It's brick-tastic, but I love it. One of my very-longed-for-but-never-got-because-I-was-only-a-poor-kid G1 figs. But I have some questions for those of you who know much more than me. I thought I heard somewhere that it would be a working radio. Was that only a rumor or is that for Twincast or what? Also, where can the other tapes be found for Blaster? Is there any news on a reissue of tapes (for both Blaster/Twincast and Soundwave/Soundblaster)? Thanks for your help, all.

    I got one at Dairycon, and he is awsome, one of my favorite things that I got there. Yes, he may be a brick, but a cool brick none the less. Now I need to get the Reissue Soundwave, Soundblaster, and when he comes out, Twincast.

    I got my loose original back in the "old days" of sight unseen a.t.t. auctions and the door works just fine. Paid like $20 for it. Never got burned on one of those auctions, either. Got lots of loose G1 while in college, when I could least afford to be spending the money!

    GREAT pic, Ogami! Makes me wanna pop and lock!

    Thanks. It was time for a new sig and Blaster was just the right character to use. If I only had better camera than my camera phone. But somehow it works to make it look a little old school 80s-ish. Just need a graffitti background or something.
