Ranking Every Blitzwing Design From Worst To Best

[@jacobcox4565]

I found it really funny when animated Blitzwing turned into a tank in mid-air and said "Oh slag! Not again!" which implies this has happened to him many times before.

[@scorpion40k]

Its because he did it before on accident but then Bumblebee started taunting him, pissing him off, and making him turn into a tank

[@twistedyogert]

@@scorpion40k So he's sort of like the Hulk. Normally he's a plane but when he gets really angry he becomes a tank.

[@scorpion40k]

@@twistedyogert not exactly, his big brute "Arnold Schwarzenegger" personality is associated with a tank because that personality likes blowing things up, where as his calm collected German Officer personality preffered the speed and agility of the jet, and so each form is linked to his personality, aside from his crazy psycho personality that one just goes f*ck it and picks what ever

[@justinpritt7897]

My head canon is that the Bltzwing from the Bumblebee Movie wasn't the real Blitzwing but instead was a random seeker with the name Blitzwing before the real one.

[@phoenixflambe3319]

It's possible seeing two Grimlocks and 2 Breakdowns that had no relation with each other.

[@Roman_Emperor100]

They could've just called Blitzwing from Bumblebee Ramjet

[@SourRobo8364]

They never actually called him Blitzwing in the movie. So they could easily retcon it.

[@christopherauzenne5023]

Alternatively I heard for animated, blitzwing was basically rebuilt into a triple changer after a major accident so I feel you could also make an argument that he will be rebuilt after the events of bumblebee to be the true blitzwing

[@husariuspl117]

I'm pretty sure with Blitzwing in Bumblebee movie they are gonna change his name to some random seeker like Ramjet or Blistream (which sounds a little similar to Blitzwing actually), just like in Transformers 2007 they changed Devastator to Brawl and we got in Revenge of the Fallen an actual Devastator And Blitzwing's name isn't name dropped in the movie, it's in the end credits, while in 07 Brawl was name dropped as Devastator I would like if they did that cause even tho I really like the design I don't like him being Blitzwing Or who knows maybe they do something like Age of Extintion and just make some human organization use Blitwing's and some other Decepticon's body parts like Dropkicks and create more accurate Blitzwing that is a tripple changer, doubt that but who knows

[@rafcor6799]

11:47 if you look blurry the Bumblebee Blitzwing with G1 color, looks kind of like Starscream, wearing his classic crown, cape and shoulders

[@Alzeal07]

my head canon for blitzwing in bumblebee is that he is a regular seeker, but survived and became a purple triple changer later on. which is what I feel the g1 and also astrotrain are too

[@jaredhansen2521]

I love the BB movie design for blitzwing (and the seekers in general). The one good thing is that he's never referred to as blitzwing in the film, so it would be very easy to retcon him into a generic seeker if they choose to use the real blitzwing in a future film

[@themekanist1551]

I've had the long standing theory that bumblebee movie blitzwing was originally supposed to be starscream, but then they went "oh shoot, we can't kill off starscream at the beginning of the movie!" and then just picked an established name to try and pass it off as different.

[@nicholasthomas.7553]

[@Hello_World_not_taken]

Oh slag! NOT AGAI-

[@Saturnlock]

Bumblebee movie Blitzwing was originally meant to be Starscream. The reason the change was made was Starscream was supposed to die in that scene. And the Bumblebee movie was originall meant to be a prequel. So obviously Starscream dying in 80's would've messed up the timeline. (Even though it already was since Bumblebee was supposed to be around during WWII) So they switched Starscream for Blitzwing, and it was too late to change the model.

[@michaeldunlap1032]

Um... I'm pretty sure this was never confirmed, and besides; the color scheme doesn't even match starscream. (Starscream has blue parts on his robot mode, like his shins and his arms, and has way more red parts on him then just the chest and stripe on his wings. Blitzwing is all a silver-ish white and grey color, with just really small bits of red on him)

[@Saturnlock]

@@michaeldunlap1032 it was. And yes, you're right, he doesn't look like Starscream. But he looks more like Starscream than Blitzwing. And by the time they'd decided to make it a reboot, it was too late. The model was decided, the lines were recorded, the merchandise already had the name, so it was too late to change it.

[@michaeldunlap1032]

@@Saturnlock and? If it WAS always intended to be starscream, WHY does he not have blue or more red? That's the argument I'll always use.

[@Saturnlock]

@@michaeldunlap1032 I literally just said it wasn't always intended to be Starscream.

[@michaeldunlap1032]

@@Saturnlock so it was too late to change the model, but it was not too late to change the color scheme, which technically speaking, that alone would've taken a while to reanimate in general since I'm pretty sure a texture change would count as a separate model? Your logic is fucked up.

Apparently Blitzwing was given a German accent when his voice actor decided to do so, and I think they changed his helm design to be inspired by German soldiers because of that, which is honestly pretty cool.

For some reason I think if they will bring bumblebee blitzwing back, I feel like the decepticons will find parts of shatter, blitzwing, and dropkick on earth then they will like make a combined body of the three giving blitzwing the triple changer ability and 3 personalitys from the three bots referencing animated. Personally I think this will give blitzwing more character, more story, and maybe pleasing blitzwing fans.

I legit don’t get why they didn’t just make Blitzwing the main antagonist of Bumblebee. Not only is his character insanely cool and nostalgic, they already went through the trouble of introducing two new triple changers who honestly IMO were really boring. Blitzwing should have been their leader and it would’ve made the stakes seem higher with three Decepticons coming after Bee. Blitzwing could’ve also been designed to look more like his G1 counter part as well and been a triple changer.

I thing the reason for the change in design for Blitzwing in the bumblebee movie is because of the whole "robots in disguise" thing... the traditional colors would seem very out of place if he was next to other McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II's (I had to look that up). It's the same exact situation with Mirage being a Porsche and how everyone assumed that it was Jazz

[@ryanbryancyan]

BB movie Blitzwing to me isn't really "the" Blitzwing. He was never named in the film. They just used that name to sell toys. I think Travis Knight and the producers know Transformers well that they took advantage of an iconic character's name for sales. But they could.... Have Shockwave steal Blitzwing's body parts from the human military after finding out that they are experimenting on a dead Cybertronian, let alone a Decepticon. Then Shockwave uses Blitzwing's parts and upgrade him for his triple-changer experiment... and give him purple parts because it's Shockwave.
