Unfortunately, this led to Blaster's execution and Master's imprisonment in the pig pens beneath Bartertown. Master jumped in to defend him and threatened to cut off Bartertown from power forever. However, as he was about to be killed it was revealed that Blaster had a child-like mind. Max was sent to observe Master and Blaster in Underworld where he learnt that Blaster was extremely sensitive to a high-pitched whistle that Max found in the wasteland, this later gave him the edge he needed to challenge Blaster to a fight in the Thunderdome. Master saw himself as the true leader of Bartertown (even forcing Aunty Entity to admit it over loudspeaker) and as such imposed "embargoes" (that would eventually lead to his downfall) that would cut off Bartertown from the power he produced. The name "Master Blaster" was Terry Hayes' idea. Their symbiosis was essential to their survival and that is why they formed a unit. That is why Blaster was envisioned as physically very powerful but mentally weak whereas Master was the polar opposite. According to him, some people would have sufficient overall skills to make it through whereas others would only have partial skills needed to survive. This idea was later refined by Miller's curiosity on how different people would have survived the apocalypse. The very first notion for Master Blaster came from Miller's idea about a really tiny man who can barely move on top a giant, like a sparrow on the back of a rhinoceros.
