Fuse is the TDD DJ.
His G1 figure is a rather generic dude in headphones.
Late in G1, X-Concepts threw us some real Tech Deck Duds. The worst were LA Rock and Fuse. Honestly, it seems like the designers were running out of ideas. (Plus, I am sure they were confronted with the limitations of having no arms.) I mean, how can you really design a DJ who can't even hold a record? Anyway, by Crew 15, I bet they couldn't wait to put arms on their figures and start fresh with some new ideas.
Well, in G3, instead of a fresh idea, they decided to throw out two Fuse sculpts that really aren't that different from one another.
For the first, they glued a record into his right hand. Okay. For the second, they put a removable record accessory in his left hand. Woo-hoo. I mean, yes the sculpts are a bit different, but both are boring as heck. Fuse is still just a dude in headphones. And since the second record was not glued in (like the first design), it always gets lost.
In all, Fuse has a gluttony of nine variants. That's at least eight too many.
Moving on.
There is no real-life DJ of significance who goes by "DJ Fuse." However, the DJ for the Digital Underground has been "DJ Fuze" since 1990.
There is also a prolific house DJ who goes by D:Fuse.
Just thought you'd like to know.
