I've watched this a zillion times but never noticed this. Once the two ships take off and leave Junkion, we never see him again until the "Till all are one" scene at the end.

I guess he really couldn't deal with it.

He was on the Junkion ship (along with Perceptor) which got squished and thrown away. I suppose it was a choice by the writers so the guy Optimus had originally chosen to be Autobot leader wasn't too near to the final action when Hot Rod got his hands on the Matrix.

Personally I'd like to know what happened to Blaster after the second attack on Autobot City.

Maybe. But then later Snarl shows up on the Quintesson ship.

It's just always bugged me when they board the shuttles to escape:

Daniel: "Wait, Ultra Magnus! Arcee's still out there!"

*Springer grabs Arcee and pulls her in. Daniel closes the hatch*

Perceptor: "There's Blaster! Open the hatch!"

Daniel: "Fuck that guy."

Actually, it also seemed a bit off to me that Arcee was with them when Magnus told Hot Rod to get the Dinobots aboard the other shuttle and she also seemed to be ahead of Magnus in the shot of them running to the shuttle (Magnus isn't seen in this shot but I'm assuming he's slower than the others). Daniel somehow seems to be running at the exact same speed as Arcee. But then when Springer and Daniel run up to the shuttle Magnus and Perceptor are already there covering them while Arcee takes far longer to arrive. What the hell was Arcee doing all that time? Bitch deserved to be left behind dragging her high heels like that.
It's funny that Magnus and Perceptor stop covering the others and get into the shuttle without bothering to wait for Arcee. And then they start the launch without realising she's not with them.
It's kinda odd when you look at the continuity and logic of it all.

I reckon Blaster didn't make it to the shuttle because Arcee stopped to trip him up to be certain she'd get a seat on the ship.

Arcee (tripping Blaster): "Shotgun, muthafucker!"

If they were still doing Mosaic comic strips that would've been a fun little thing to cover like that.

Nobody ever said they wanted the movie to be only the good parts of G1.
