And this option goes by the name of Device Label Blaster, who turns into a USB hub that looks like a laptop instead of a boombox. But he still manages to look like Blaster in robot-mode, combined with the fact that he has modern articulation and detailing on top of being able to hold G1 cassettes in his cheast makes him possibly the best Classics Blaster stand-in we will be getting for a long while.
Blaster is an actual functioning USB hub and can hold up to four USB devices! Sadly it is very unlikely that this will ever be sold outside of Japan, but that doesn't mean you can't drool at pictures of him! Just click the following image and enjoy his seibertron.com gallery:

This reminds me, though, were the other Device Label figures ever released here? It was reported that they would be released, but I've never seen them.

That's all swag that Hasbro handed out to the attendees of their Hasbro Collector's Day Event for Toy Fair over the past few years. I thought this gallery was the perfect chance to show you those USB drives I've gotten. The event is an invite-only event for people who run fansites or toy sites like Seibertron.com.

That's actually the original Blaster rifle. I have a few of them sitting around from the two reissues and my original.

Expect preorder info for just the weapon within the next couple of weeks.

That's funny, I was thinking the opposite. DL Blaster looks awesome, G1 Blaster looks lame.
Each their own I guess

Back on cybertron he was not a cassette player and he had it... Just call The cassettes data modules and it all fits
Same can go for a classics soundwave.

Also, a Transformer that turns into a laptop? I think that's a good example of a suitably updated alt-mode.
Maybe in another 25 years we can look at him and laugh at how ridiculous laptops were in the 2000's!

Ohhhh...that Decepticon sheild Flash drive is MONEY. Do I spy a red LED that lights up when the drive is in use? Oh yeah. Come on, this has got to be made available to the TF lovin' public!

Label Soundwave and Blaster were really great, but I never pulled the trigger on Grimmy or Trippy. They were just too different from their classic selves.
