A lot of Blaster toys actually come with the internal mechanism put together wrong, in which case none of the buttons will actually work. The left button is labelled "eject", and will release the door - again on mine the internal spring isn't quite strong enough and I have to help the door open with the other hand. The two central buttons are a single piece, labelled "stop", and release the play button, although the internal spring on mine isn't enough to spring the play button up - I have to press stop and the lift up the play button. The one on the right is marked "play" and will stay down if pushed. There's a transparent window on the door, and there are four buttons on the rack below this.

I think I've largely covered the look of this unit, so now I'll cover the details. Still, it's a plausible colour scheme and the colours are needed to make his robot mode interesting. The colours work well visually, and while the silver and black are about right for 70s and 80s boomboxes, the red and yellow weren't quite as common. There are stickers below the speaker grilles representing woofers, and below the button rack (which is below the door) is a rubsign, in its own indent. He has black speakers - both standard grilles and the tweeters above the main speakers that were common on Ghetto Blasters, and the grip in the middle of his handle is black. The central section is red whilst the speaker sections and the buttons are grey, as is the handle at the top.

A red and silver boombox with a yellow cassette door, Blaster is actually a "Ghetto Blaster" (hence his name), although I'm not sure that term is really used much, since portable stereo styles have changed and the English vernacular is more politically correct.
