I studied blinker+2G reactions, here the most interesting ones. Maybe someone finds some of them useful. There are a few which output again blinker+2glider. And a few other ones, long lifetime + 1G, a large blinker pull (obviously there are many options to displace the blinker), blinker at the same position and a blinker+pulsar

Not so sure this is useless. As seen in the boat rotator above, it can create this fun loop. But is there a reaction, some spark or catalyst, that extracts a glider from the residual boat producing region? If so, couldn't one construct a more complex loop?

Unfortunately, it comes out the wrong way to make a loop... perhaps if it can support a copy of itself it might be possible to build a 10c/166d macroship.
