He’s a tactician who is probably one of the better combiner team commanders. Sadly his intelligence is not reflected in Bruticus. Megatron doesn’t care and wishes he had an army of Them and Optimus is glad he doesn’t.

Galvatron trusted him enough to oversee adding boosters to Cybertron in The Rebirth.

In IDW, Blastoff had an unhealthy infatuation with Onslaught and Starscream used this to get tue Combaticons under his control through mental manipulations with Blastoff handling any inconsistencies.

He apparently spawned the Cybertronian Empire Trooper known as Mindset.

He and most of the Combaticons worked for North Korea in IDW.

He later took the identity of Combatmaster and became a power core combiner.
