hello there Edit: Zhis video iz now a place where ze community of TFA Blitzwing fans can unite. PART 2: • Blitzwing being HYSTER... #transformers #blitzwing #transformersanimated
I found it interesting that, while Deceptions don't really bother about avoiding collateral damage, Blitzwing cared about Lugnut stepping on a SATELLITE.
Blitzwing in the TFA lore: A mentally broken shell of a Transformer who was forced to undergo the Triple Changer procedure without his consent by Blackarachnia that ended up permanently fracturing his mind, is heavily implied to have no real friends due to both his emotional instability and being considered nothing more than a tool/property of the Decepticons, and is pretty much the TFA equivalent of Rampage from Beast Wars or Whirl from the IDW comics. Blitzwing in the actual TFA cartoon:
@@berilsevvalbekret772 That’s a good point, but I feel if that were the case he would be able to control when his different personalities were able to front, as opposed to them coming out whenever they pleased like they do in the cartoon. What I personally think is more likely is that, unlike Blackarachnia, he eventually realized that there was nothing he could do about the condition he was in and that he was stuck like that for the rest of his cycle and, knowing full well what sort of punishment he could receive if he ever tried to rebel against the Decepticons, gave into learned helplessness and reluctantly resigned himself to his fate. I really hope that one day we can get a script reading for What A Tangled Web We Leave like we got for Trial of Megatron. I find Blitzwing to be a really interesting and fascinating character who’s oddly relatable at times, and I’d love to finally be able to see his backstory in full. There’s so much potential for angst with him and it’d be nice for a majority of the fandom to finally stop reducing him to just “quirky” comic relief and/or Blitzbee.
@@berilsevvalbekret772 well yes and no, we know from one of Blackarachnia's lines that it has been around 1000 years between the events of Archa7 and the events in the show. Subtracting some years from that for her to join the decepticons and working up to her position, and with the knowledge that she did the procedure, it's actually quite recent! Well by cybertronian standards it would be recent since a few hundred years isn't that long when you've been alive for millions/billions of years
@@prettypenguin1944 that is very interesting, I don't have twitter so I haven't seen the season 4 documents, but I do agree that 1. It doesn't mak sense timeline wise 2. It makes Blackarachnia a worse character (I think the entire way she was written is kinda shitty) and I do hate how hasbro had to meddle with it. And the version of events you present does make a lot more sense in-universe and time line-wise. I'll keep it in the back of my head while writing fanfiction
TFA did the Decepticons justice, eventhough some of them are goofy but taking one of them down takes a miracle. they are actually a threat even the fodder ones. I miss this show.
@@Graboid104 They hated the human villains because they didn't understand or appreciate why the human villains were there -- to present obstacles for the Autobots that they could more easily tangle with, as a way of preserving the threat of the Decepticons for bigger plot beats. In this way, TFA was ... basically a superhero show that occasionally shifted gears into high tension when the Decepticons are on screen. *AUTOBOTS! SHOW YOURSELVES, COWARDS, AND FACE YOUR DOOM.*
I respect the different take, every other Transformers show Optimus and Megatron are equals in terms of skill and power but here Optimus is an underdog compared to Megatron
@@MILDMONSTER1234 each decepticon is a dedicated war machine and our heroes are just a repair crew. Really helps sell the threat when it takes the whole team just to barely beat Starscream.
@@Graboid104 I hated it because of how they looked, how Optimus Prime looked in animated and I thought it was ugly, but I now regret that I never watched this show before
I actually died when blitzwing went from reasoning, to fighting, to maniacally throwing the shoulder pad straight at lugnut. He’s just thinking(?) yeah I don’t need this
somebot find zis!! now!! before i vill take zyou offline!! OH YA, VE VILL DESZTROY ZYOU AND ZEN PARTY, CHA-CHA-CHA!! VITH MINE FAVOURITE PARTY FOOD, SERVO SALAD VITH IRON FILINGS!! AHAHAHAHA!! excusze me mine brother decepticons, it seems ve got a little over excited at zis concept. but it does spark mine curiosity.............
What if in the Knightverse/Beeverse the Decepticons rebuilt Blitzwing with Shatter and Dropkick's parts and he ends up taking on their personalities too? Shatter becomes the smart face, Dropkick becomes the angry face, and the original Blitzwing becomes the random face that pops up now and then trying to regain control?
One thing often overlooked in Blitzwing's characterization is his shitty sense of humor. Like, he uses EVERY opportunity to make ice puns physical. I think it's very endearing.
I always thought blitzwing would use they them pronouns since they are basically three people in one body. I wondered if cyberverse and earthspark made them different genders like the 🔥 one would be male the 🧊 one female and the crazy 😜 one other I 💭 that would make them ten times better they’d be like siblings or a family 😂
Absolutely my favorite version of Blitzwing. The "fractured" personality and multiple faces that thematically dovetail into his multiple alt-modes was such a genius character design decision. If Blitzwing appears in future Transformers projects, I hope they keep this aspect of him going.
Blitzwing Is basically how I feel sometimes when it comes to both being a hot head and a nutcase but like TFA some of us have our moments that we can relate from the series and whenever Blitzwing switches personalities, that’s kinda relatable
Lugnut : And the universe will rejoice! All hail your grand and glorious return! Starscream : OK, what is his malfunction? Icy Blitzwing : Technical glitch. It happens... (switches face) Random Blitzwing : A lot actually. (insanely laughs) Lugnut : It is not a glitch. It is Megatron and he commands us to deliver him the key. Starscream : Megatron! Did you just say Megatron? (To Blitzwing) DID HE JUST SAY MEGATRON?! (To Lugnut) THERE IS NO MEGATRON! MEGATRON IS OFFLINE! TERMINATED! I DID IT MYSELF! Saw it myself. Lugnut : No. Lies! Lies! Megatron lives. We must obey, our supreme leader has spoken. Starscream : Aren't you forgetting something? I AM YOUR SUPREME LEADER!! Icy Blitzwing (interfering with the argument) : Decepticons! Decepticons! (Both Lugnut and Starscream looks at him) Can't we all just get along? (switches face) Hothead Blitzwing : Or should I crush you into scrap metal!?
I love when he says, "it's big, it's bold, it's sassah~" but literally he is fragging hilarious. But I bet out of the show he's a dirty mech lol. Literally. He said give me a hand or a foot or a ... Just help me😂
Lugnut lands on the moon, then Blitzwing. Hothead Blitzwing: Careful you cobble-clad klutz! You stepped in something. (Lugnut looks under his foot, then Blitzwing switches face) Random Blitzwing: But with a few dancing lessons, you'll be light on your stabilizing servos like me. Cha cha cha. (shuffles) Lugnut : Silence, Blitzwing! I did not follow this beacon halfway across the galaxy for dancing lessons! This was Megatron's ship! Random Blitzwing: Ahaha, Starscream never did have a knack for parking.
@@Skullocalypse No! Megatron lives. I feel it in my central processor. I believe only two things: The Decepticons will rule Cybertron, and Megatron will rule the Decepticons! Our glorious leader awaits!
To this day this version of Blitzwing still makes me laugh as he's the only Decepticon who is not only a triple changer but has a triple personality as well and it probably drives his fellow Decepticons crazy I mean I'm surprised some of the other Decepticons have managed to keep they're sanity when dealing with the escaped looney from the Decepticon looney bin and I even wonder what made Blitzwing's creators think when he was brought online I mean what did they do put 3 Decepticon protoforms into his shell or was his personality component made with unstable circuitry we may never know.
Hothead Blitzwing (grabbing a drone, crushing it) : These can't be those miserable Autobots, they're far too small! (destroys the drone, then switches face) Random Blitzwing: But look at that one! It's big, it's bold, it's sassy! Lugnut (pushing Blitzwing) : You! What have you done with our beloved leader Megatron? Talk!
@Kristopher Prime He wrong for that on gawd. Like bruh you could have told him, "Ayo look out!" And then ducked at least you can say, "I did try to tell you. Mmmhm." [Nods] P.S. About that last line. If you know you know. 😏😏
He is pretty silly with his multiple personality disorder. Especially his crazy one with the jack-o-lantern face. Oh god, he's as crazy and silly as the Joker.
Listen bro, I ain’t a wehraboo by any definition of the word, but BRO. Zany German dudes are the best comedic characters. ESPECIALLY as villains. I mean they take the word “Blitz” and pun it with “blitzkrieg” give him a Stahlhelme head design, and make him a mix between Semi-rational scientist, Raging brute with tooth gap, and an Oktoberfest’d out nutjob Plus he turns into a tank… DANG. He’s effectively soundwave and shockwave all in one package!
I always had a thought. Blitzwing's 3 faces and personalities correspond to his 3 modes, yeah? If Icy Blitzwing is the jet and hothead is the tank, does that mean that crazy corresponds to the robot mode and thus is the true personality of Blitzwing? I could be talking out of my ass here but I've always had that line of thought swimming around my head.
Random corresponds to both, hence why he can use either vehicle mode for more than a few seconds, whereas Hothead can only use the tank mode and Icy can only use the jet mode if they're in control for more than a second (and also another reason why Random is called Random). It's the same with Blitzwing's fire-ice ammunition.
I love the interactions between blizty, and lugnut, it feels like a perfect duo Edit: TBH lugnut and blitzing should've gotten more screen time together, and it would've been great
I love at the end there as hes tricked into transforming into a tank in mid air and is just like "Oh slag, not again!!" As he falls is just peak comedy😂😂😂
Blitzwing(Calm): I should choose the Fighter Jet..🤔 Blitzwing(Angry): NO! The Assault Tank!😈 Blitzwing(Calm): The Jet..😑 Blitzwing(Angry): TANK!😤 Blitzwing(Calm): The Jet! 😠 Blitzwing(Angry): TANK!!!😡 Blitzwing(Insane): OHOHO! WHY NOT SCAN BOTH?! 🤪
(Coming from someone with diagnoses of Bipolar II and Depression, possibly AuDHD) Childhood is laughing at Animated Blitzwing Adulthood is laughing with Animated Blitzwing
Hothead Blitzwing : You have Optimus Prime?! Hand him over at once! That Autobot will pay for what he did to our leader! Lockdown : Yeah, speaking of payment, I'm gonna need mine first. Icy Blitzwing : Patience my bounty-hunting friend, you will not be disappointed with your upgrades, provided I am not disappointed with your results. (switches face) Random Blitzwing : Ooh, I wanna see him turn into a firetruck. Can I? Can I? Ha ha, can I? (laughs, then his screen turns off)
Bumblebee Movie's Blitzwing was kind of a letdown that he didn't have three faces. Like, he even makes a twisted joke about how Bee will "never talk". It was perfectly in character!
Icy Blitzwing : As usual Blackarachnia, your demeanor's unpleasant as that accursed organic mode of yours. Blackarachnia : Blow it out your actuator three faces (frees her arm from the ice and hisses). Blitzwing switches face Hothead Blitzwing : The name's Blitzwing, insect! Remember it! Cause it's the last thing you wanna hear before I... (switches face) Random Blitzwing : ...express my feelings in song! The itsy bitsy spider crawled up (everyone argues over until Megatron arrives).
