Has there been word or does someone know already if the new Blaster can hold the old G1 tapes? If so, then I've got some serious eBaying to do!
I believe he comes with Steeljaw. So, yes he should. Was there ever a blaster that couldn't hold tapes? I know he didn't have any tapes when he first came out, but AFAIK he could still hold tapes.
My concern, personally, is if he still has the old defects that make the tape door break. That was a major problem in original Blasters.
No, but there's always the possibility that the molding will be slightly different and cause problems with putting vintage tapes in a reissue Blaster. I may be mistaken but I seem to recall some complaints about that with the Soundwave reissue.
