Keep. This is one of those Transformers who has obtained a level of note. For instance look at this book on toys and popular culture where the author explorers Blaster roll, what he represents, etc. [1] Here is another book about censorship in saturday morning cartoons, where it talks about Blaster and Jazz being "black coded" voices. [2] These are definitely examples of the characters being talked about outside the fiction itself. Mathewignash (talk) 22:13, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

NOTE The nominator has been blocked as a sockpuppet of Claritas. Mathewignash (talk) 09:52, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Procedural keep as a sockpuppet nomination by Claritas (talk · contribs). No prejudices against renomination after a week to give time for the other butt-load of Transformers AfDs to worth themselves through, which may give guidance on what to do with this article. —Farix (t | c) 23:10, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
