The other Combaticons could completely forget he's up here, orbiting so far above the Earth, distant and alone... with only the cold, empty void for company... and he couldn't care less. No, certainly not. |

Sometime later, he and his fellow Combaticons were sent on a hunting mission by Decepticon command, and spent several weeks tracking and tormenting [[Blaster]] and the [[Throttlebot|Throttlebots]], who had recently interfered with their schemes. After being beaten by Blaster and [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] in battle, though, Blast Off was slapped with a mode-lock device so that Blaster could remote control him, taking his human friends the Spacehikers for a spin around outer space. Unfortunately, Blaster was at odds with Autobot leader [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] at the time as well, and Blast Off and his passengers were forcibly captured by the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]]. The Decepticon later either escaped Autobot custody on his own, or was rescued along with [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme's]] victims by the [[Constructicon|Constructicons]]. {{Storylink|Totaled!}} |
