When Blitzwing unburied himself, he irritatedly reminded Lugnut of his often repeated request for a little warning before the punch. Naturally, Lugnut was displeased, and he used his super-punch to floor the Autobots-and bury himself and Blitzwing under the rubble. When Lugnut demanded information on Megatron's location, the Autobots mentioned that he had 'turned into a fireball somewhere over Cleveland'. During an encounter with the Autobots, Bumblebee and Prowl were hard pressed to avoid Blitzwing's energy blasts, but his freeze beam did get Bumblebee off his feet.

Arriving on Earth, the two had similar problems determining the dominant species on Earth as the Autobots did, mistaking Earth's automatons and machines for sentient beings. Some time after this, Blitzwing and Lugnut followed a beacon to the Moon to find the wreckage of the Nemesis. Blitzwing promised that Lockdown would receive payment once Blitzwing received Prime - then his random side asked if he could please, please please see Prime turn into a firetruck. Fifty stellar cycles later, the bounty hunter Lockdown contacted Blitzwing, saying he had Prime. The Arrival issue 1īlitzwing placed a bounty on Optimus Prime, intending to punish him for destroying Megatron. This angered Blitzwing, who'd spent six deca-cycles building it, and initiated an exchange of fire between him and Lugnut. When Blitzwing pointed out evidence to the contrary, Lugnut destroyed the statue of Megatron that Blitzwing had built. Lugnut was angry with the service, declaring that Megatron was alive and would return. Blitzwing gave the eulogy, in which he vowed that they would destroy the Autobots responsible for their leader's demise.and then paint mustaches on their faceplates. Transform and Roll Out!Īfter Megatron's disappearance, the Decepticons held a funeral at New Kaon. When it became clear the Nemesis was going to crash into an exploding space bridge, Blitzwing fled in an escape pod. express his feelings in song! His out-of-tune rendition of 'The Itsy Bitsy Spider' got all the Decepticons arguing until Megatron entered, prompting Blitzwing to fall silent with the rest. When Blackarachnia advised him to blow it out his actuator, Blitzwing angrily demanded that she refer to him by his proper name, or else he would. He partially froze Blackarachnia's arm, commenting on how her demeanor was as unpleasant as her organic beast mode. Voice actor: Bumper Robinson (English), Rainer Doering (German), Cho (Japanese)īlitzwing was aboard the Nemesis with the other Decepticons at the time of the AllSpark's re-discovery. Note: Events from IDW Publishing comic books are in italics. Blitzwing is just as likely to have a heated argument with Lugnut as he is to give him dancing lessons, and Lugnut is still too obsessed with Megatron to pay the slightest attention to any of Blitzwing's more sane suggestions.īasically, Blitzwing's the Purple Baron. It's worth noting that Blitzwing spends a lot of time paired up with Lugnut - enough time that he's learned to ignore most of Lugnut's rants about the glorious Megatron, anyway. Most likely, he can use icy attacks while he's in tank mode as well, but this has never happened on screen. It's possible for Blitzwing to fire conventional explosive missiles while in jet mode when he's angry or crazy, but that rarely happens. It even goes so far that if he becomes angry enough during flight, he transforms into tank mode. His cold side favors the jet, his angry side favors the tank, and his insane side has no favorites. Blitzwing's alt-mode is likewise usually dependent on which alter is in front at the time. When his third alter is in front, nearly anything can be dished out from either of his vehicle modes.

His calculating alter has an arsenal of ice weaponry, while the hothead predictably can bring the heat. All three alters have a German accent, and apparently he has trouble flying in a straight line.īlitzwing's armament varies depending upon which alter is fronting at the time. Finally, his random alter's face looks like nothing so much as a black jack-o'-lantern and just sounds hysterical. His easily angered hothead alter has a wide red face and is gap-toothed, making him look and sound like a certain Austrian musclehead.

Pretty much the only thing that keeps him in line is that all three of his alters are scared to death of Megatron.īlitzwing's icy alter is represented by a long, solemn blue face with a monocle and speaks with quiet disdain. He's as liable to have a conversation with himself as he is to say a word to his fellow Decepticons. Missiles/Freeze-Ray/Pyro-Cannon/Laser Cannonīlitzwing not only has three modes (robot, jet, and tank), he also has three alters (an 'icy' cold strategist, a short-tempered 'hothead', and a total 'random' nutcase) along with the faces rapidly switching in his head to go with them.
