I feel great! I feel great! I feel great! I feel bad. I don't even watch football! I don't even watch football! I can't remember my legs!

Here goes the wood-davers train! It's takin' off! It's a new century!

Blurr welcomed his old friend Bumblebee when he arrived on Velocitron for a visit, though he quickly sparked a rivalry with Bee's guest, Hot Rod. He encouraged them to try one of the tracks off the beaten path if they wanted the best racing experience, leading them to a massive and dangerous course. The three took off at high speed, but Blurr neglected to mention part of the track was being repaired, causing Hot Rod to wipe out. Their argument was suddenly interrupted by a crashing repair drone infected by the Plague of Rust, which began quickly spreading. Blurr quickly led them to his garage, believing it would keep them safe and refusing to leave his home.

At this point, the test subject was dead.

Unfortunately, a plague victim managed to breach the door, proving it less safe than expected. Finally relenting, Blurr led Bumblebee and Hot Rod to the space bridge as the planet continued to deteriorate, but they realized someone would have to stay behind to operate the bridge while the others escaped. Blurr volunteered, revealing he had unwittingly caught the plague himself and couldn't risk spreading it. As the others entered the portal, Blurr was consumed by rust and reduced to dust.

Decades later, while searching for a part of Windblade's consciousness on Luna 3, an obicular-class parasitic entity caused Bumblebee to experience a ghostly vision of Blurr. Challenging the Autobot to another race, the hallucination zoomed off into the distance. Alien Hunt! With Meteorfire And Cosmos

• Blurr (1-Step Changer, 2018 / 2021)

Part of the first wave of Cyberverse 1-Step Changers, Blurr is a redeco of Robots in Disguise Blurr, deco'd to disguise the fact that he is a completely different design. He transforms from robot to vehicle (or vice-versa) with a single step that automatically swings everything into position. Unlike most prior 1-Step Changers, Blurr has a little extra articulation (aka "any articulation") with simple swivel shoulders. Naturally, he lacks the scannable roof insignia from the Robots in Disguise toy.

This Blurr can ride on Stomp & Chomp Grimlock, although it does not activate any of the larger figure's gimmicks.

Blurr was released twice: First in 2018 in the original Cyberverse packaging design, and then again in 2021 in the Dinobots Unite subline imprint packaging refresh.

Notes

• Blurr's design is heavily influenced by his 2005 IDW counterpart's design by Casey Coller (which debuted in Spotlight: Blurr).
• Blurr's status as a Velocitronian is lifted from both his Cybertron and "Aligned" namesakes.
• Blurr's character bio on the Hasbro Cyberverse site noted that he shares the same fast-talking trait as his Generation 1 and Animated counterparts. However, he speaks normally in the actual cartoon.

Foreign names

• Japanese: Blurr (ブラー Burā)
