Blasters of the Universe is a 1993 2-CD set by Bootsy's New Rubber Band. The album was first released on the P-Vine record label and then by Rykodisc in the US and the UK. In terms of musical personnel, the album features more P-Funk and Funk alumni than any other Bootsy Collins related release.

The album also contains a lyric sheet and a comic book called "Back 'N' Dah Day: A Boot Tune Adventure".
