The Master

Background

The Master is in charge of Underworld in Bartertown. He is part of a unit called Master Blaster.

During the events of Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985) played by Angelo Rossitto

Blackfinger is working on Max's car when he tells Master that the car is booby trapped with dynamite. As Blackfinger is about to turn off the battery, Max stops him and tells Master that the car is his. Master orders him to remove the explosives and Max tries to make a deal. Blaster lifts Max up by the neck and Master tells him he is in charge of Bartertown. When Max disagrees, Master gets on the public address system and makes Aunty Entity publicly declare that Master runs Bartertown in order to stop a power embargo. Blaster orders Max to disable the dynamite and as Max is disabling the booby trap, he notices that Blaster is susceptible to high pitch noises.

Later, Master Blaster is riding around in Bartertown on Max's vehicle and Max stands in front of him and yells the vehicle belongs to him. Master has Blaster grab Max by the throat and as he is about to kill Max, a group of Aunty's Guards point their rifles at Master and Ironbar orders Master to listen to the law. Master challenges Max to a fight in the Thunderdome and Aunty agrees to it. Dr. Dealgood explains to everyone why Thunderdome was created and then the rules to Thunderdome and the fight begins. Blaster at first is easily beating Max until Max uses his whistle to cause Blaster to drop his weapon and cover his ears. Max uses a large hammer and knocks Blaster's helmet off, revealing him to be mentally handicapped. Max yells out to Aunty that killing a mentally handicapped man wasn't part of the deal and Aunty has Ironbar kill Blaster. Master is brought to Underworld and when he refuses to fix something, Ironbar has him lowered into the pig pen. Aunty walks into the area and has Ironbar bring Master back up and tells Master to do whatever Ironbar tells him.

Later, Ironbar sees Scrooloose, who is sitting above him, motioning to the others. Mr. Skyfish swings on a rope and saves Scrooloose and Monkey and manages to knock one of the Bodybuilders into the pig pen. Ironbar starts shooting at Max and the children and Pigkiller uses a shovel to knock the other Bodybuilder unconscious before using bolt cutters to free himself and Master. Master uses a grain chute to knock Ironbar unconscious and Blackfinger walks in, but quickly runs away when he sees Max and the children. Max runs after Blackfinger, but then runs away when Blackfinger returns with a large amount of Aunty's Guards. Pigkiller gets inside of a truck on train tracks and tells everyone to get inside. Max and the children get inside the truck and Pigkiller starts it and drives it away, causing parts of Underworld to collapse and explode.

Pigkiller continues to drive along the track and they are followed by a large convoy consisting of Aunty, Aunty's Guards, Ironbar, Fur Trader and Cowboy. Aunty Entity, one of Aunty's Guards and Blackfinger jump onto the train cars and try to grab Master, who is saved by Savannah Nix. Ironbar tries to grab Master and Max kicks him onto a train exhaust pipe. The truck comes to a halt in front of a berm. Jedediah Jnr. tells them that it is a stick up, but runs away when he sees Aunty and her group driving towards them. Max and his group run after Jedediah Jnr. who runs to Jedediah. Max tells Jedediah it is his lucky day and his plane will save his life. Everyone gets into the Flying Jalopy, but as Jedediah is driving it forward, he tells Max that they are overloaded and there's not enough runway between them and Aunty's group. Max jumps out of the plane while Scrooloose drives up and gets into the plane. Max takes the vehicle Scrooloose drove in and drives it straight towards Aunty's group, killing Ironbar and many of Aunty's Guards. Jedediah then flies the plane to a destroyed Sydney.
