The Audio Philes

The Story of Blaster’s Cassettes — The Deep Cuts of the Transformers Universe. When it comes to the TRANSFORMERS BLASTER and his TAPES, fans tend to forget that this Autobot DJ had his own hit squad of mini warriors tucked in his chest — and they were more than just background noise. From the shiny, no-nonsense lion Steeljaw and the headstrong rhino Ramhorn, to the sports fanatic Eject and the trivia-loving Rewind, Blaster’s cassette crew had as much character as any headliner in the 80s toy aisle. But dig a little deeper and you’ll find the real gems: pop idol Rosanna, tragic spy Flipsides, solar-powered Sundor, and a few rare imports like the Dinocassettes. These weren’t just toys — they were deep cuts from the Transformers mixtape that deserve another spin. So, grab your boombox, dust off your data discs, and let’s drop the needle on the story of Blaster’s lost tracks.
