Every since 2006, When I saw a picture of a Cybertron Soundwave repainted as Blaster and it had a scratch-built Steeljaw accompanying it. I did make a Legends size Blaster custom (found in the gallery here) that was heavily influenced by his custom, but I'd never gotten around to doing a regular-sized version since my to-do list is so long. Thankfully, Hasbro took care of most of the work for me by releasing a repaint of Soundwave as Blaster in the Universe 2.0 line. I was quite disappointed by 3 things, however. First, they didn't give it a new head. Second, his chest was painted just the same as Soundwave's, except for the faction symbol placement (this didn't even match the box art, which had a differently painted chest!) Third, they simply repainted laserbeak as a made up character they named Blockrock. So, I fix the chest's paint ap to match the box art, then I figured out how to make that Blockrock into a "real" Autobot. I made it into Gurafi, also known as Graphy, which was originally a Japanese exclusive Dino-cassette combining cassetticon Transformer. I even made a tutorial on how to do this, since it is actually REALLY easy to do! I hope you all like this custom. The head was sculpted and cast by Sculptbot, and I simply modified it to connect to the Blaster body and then painted it to match (his heads are not painted at all).
