Blastwave is a mute Autobot bounty hunter in Transformers: Robots in Disguise.
Role
Despite being unable to talk all that much due to suffering some sort of injury relatively similar to Bumblebee before him, Blastwave is a high-tech weapons base amongst the Autobots. A "shoot first, ask questions never" type of bounty hunter, he has the weapon expertise to know exactly what equipment it takes to blow an enemy Decepticon into scrap.
History
Blastwave is an Autobot bounty hunter who initially appears as a villain when he pursues Nightra to Earth. The Bumblebee team mistakenly believes he is the fugitive, while Nightra is the actual bounty hunter. Blastwave, unable to speak, uses Cybertronian Sign Language to communicate his true identity as an Autobot bounty hunter. Ultimately, the Autobots realize their error, and with the help of Grimlock, they capture Nightra and return her to Blastwave.

Trivia
- Blastwave's toy bio lacks any pronouns to determine a suitable gender. He was eventually confirmed to be male by his appearance in the cartoon.
- Despite being a fairly extensive retool affecting nearly every area of his Robots in Disguise: Combiner Force Warrior Class toy, Blastwave's toy packaging art and on-screen character model are blatantly an unchanged yet recolored Megatronus body with only a new head and chest.
