===Development===
The design for the Tetra Squadron toys were done for Impossible Toys by TFW2005 member Venksta in 2009.<REF>http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-3rd-party-video-reviews/837044-impossible-toys-tetra-squadron-video-reviews.html#post9148628</REF>

In July 2012 Impossible Toys teased the design that would become Solarblast on their web site.<REF>http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/3rd-party-unlicensed-41/impossible-toys-to-make-unofficial-generation-1-tetrajets-175553/?catid=searchresults&searchid=13916</REF>

===Fictional biography===
{{Quote|Solarblast is not a cadet, nor is he even real, but he does exist. He is a by product created by Banshee using forbidden tech to remove a portion of his own ember. As Banshee has seemed himself perfect, he made Solarblast as a first attempt at becoming a god. Like Banshee, Solarblast suffers from a god like complex and feels he is far above his rank and position. Considered by some a mere knock off of Banshee or a freak accident of a bad science experiment. Solarblast is not given much respect by his fellow soldiers. When called a fake or just generally enraged, Solarblast will unleash mini solar flares that cause damage to all around him.}}

===Toys===
