- Among the Decepticon Triple Changers, Blitzwing is the loudest warrior, able to transform into both a tank and jet. Sometimes his mind is split as well!

Hard to believe his G1 voice actor passed away 25 years ago.😓😓😓😭😭
That's sad
I know
“Why don’t you build a bridge and jump off it” - blitzwing
Had to end the video with that one! Such a great line!
@@RodimusPrimalWell here’s a comeback to that
“Well, I don’t desire to commit suicide, since you surely desire to”
Betraying the cons that combine into a giant destruction-focused brute seems like a bad strategy. Did Blitzwing learn nothing from his coach?
@@EclipseWarlord Probably not
(Lightning strike)
The introduction of the triple changers to the transformers was so mind blowing in the 80's. It was a wild time to be alive. 3 alternative modes to choose from, it felt like anything was possible those days.
"Come on down,Autobrat"
Heck yeah Blitzwing is one of my favorite Decepticon
Nice of content creator to mention Miles Mayhem of MASK series as he would build VENOM with the stolen technology after betraying the Trakker brothers who were his partners back then!!!
Cannot believe Bltizwing would have come out in Starscream Ghost and Ghost in the Shell episodes, except they wanted to sell the new Octane character.
Ghost in the Machine (not shell)
The Legacy Blitzwing is a cool figure. But man I would love how the SS86 version would look or even a potential Legacy Animated figure!
An SS86 Blitzwing would likely just take the Legacy version and do what Takara did with the Titans Return one for their LG59 version: replace all that dark purple with a lighter purple (around the same shade as either Kingdom Galvatron or Kingdom Cyclonus). Maybe even take away the sword, since he didn't really have it in the Movie.
I would hope it gets retooled a bit to be more movie accurate. Especially the jet mode.
Animated blitzswing is amazing. All three of his personalitys are amazing and entertaining. I also like while he is very loyal he isn’t mindlessly loyal. He’s sometimes skeptical of megatrons instructions, and can except the possibility of megatron’s demise
Though what do you think his personality pre triple changer was
Blitzwing’s whole arc in 5 Faces of Darkness needs to get more attention. I know it was originally planned for Shockwave, but that’s besides the point.
Consider this for a second: Without Blitzwing, we might not have gotten Dinobot, Blackarachnia or Autobot Megatron.
Unless you want to include Jetfire into this, but that’ll only make sense if you’re using the original Marvel Comics version of him, the cartoon version wasn’t as compelling.
He’s the only Decepticon Triple Changer I had as a kid, and I always went for cartoon accuracy and put his nosecone in front in tank mode.
One of my favorite episodes, Triple Takeover, ends with that awesome Decepticon battle. Blitzwing is underappreciated in my opinion, great video
Solid character and one of the best Decepticons. Hopefully, we get a toy down the line that does him proper justice!
Blitzwing is king of air and ground and is fierce. The Legacy figure I got at xmas for $29 and is awesome, the jet mode looks better than portrayed in most fan reviews.
6:37 W A T E R
💧
🌊
peak blitzwing moment would still be telling the constructicons to essentially off themselves and panic when they form into devastator.
Blitzwing is my favorite Decepticon triple changer. Animated Blitzwing is my version of Blitzwing.
I hope there’s a new Animated Blitzwing toy for the legacy universe toyline.
I hope Blitzwing appears in the Skybound comics along with the Stunticons (Menasor), the Arielbots (Superion), Blurr, Powerglide, Thrust, Dirge, Ramjet and etc.
Other than that, cool.
Blitzwing Always be My Favorite Decepticon Triple Change and Astrotrain
Blitzwing is probably my favorite triple changer. (Multi changer though would be Sixshot)
BAYFORMERS BLITZWING: I look far better than your monotone, antiquated looks
G1 BLITZWING: You looked like Starscream who couldn't even smash a Bumblebee
G1 voice actors for Blitzwing and Astrotrain (Ed Gilbert and Jack Angel) have both sadly passed away.
I have g1 and legacy Blitzwing! Love them both always thought him and astrotrain made a great duo lol love the tiple changers! Great video:)
My favorite version is the Transformers: animated one, his personalities are perfect for him.😁👍
I really like his Animated persona as an updated take. That being said I do wish his G1 counterpart had more story than he got.
Blitzwing's g1 toy is an enigma, truly one of the wonkiest interpretations of the artwork that led to a crazy misunderstanding that completely boned the legacy figure.
My favourite triple changer
Why else? He's got the most banger guitar solo in his devastation theme
I absolutely love that his tank mode is always wrong. If you look at the original pictures, the turret is supposed to be facing the opposite of the cockpit from the jet. It’s just points toward the cockpit. I’m telling you look at the original pictures.
I think Blitzwing's greatest moment is in the G1 Season 2 intro when he is squashed by Omega Supreme after transforming into tank mode and then being scooped away by Scrapper.
I love the G1 version the best but I absolutely have a soft spot for the animated version too
Easily my favorite decepticon.
awesome job about Blitzwing Retrospective Triple Changing Decepticon Warrior from Transformers
Love G1 Blitzwing, but I must admit, Animated's idea of three separate personalities - and faces - was genius! As BW would say, "Gott im Himmel!"
Or rather, "Gott im Primel!" 😂
Good job rodimus primal, blitzwing is one of my favorite characters and I believe you just did him Justice.... You just told me a lot of things I didn't know
"DID YOU THINK YOU COULD HIDE!"
If you ain’t down with Blitzwing, I got Two Words for ya:
“ZONE DEFENSE!”
It wouldve been cool if g1 continued with the plot line of Blitzwing leaving the decepticons. I was always a little disappointed seeing him rejoin the decepticons with no explanation especially since it seems like he was tired of the war at the end of Five Faces of Darkness.
It's kind of funny how they made Blitzwing be connected to the Quintessons, and then years later, make him switch faces just like them.
Blitzwing is one of my favorite Decepticon
I think No. 2 Helicopter Type is one of the few Diaclone molds not used in Transformers.
You're right. I am surprised that it never got a release later down the line.
This is a cool channel. This video especially since its one of my fav Transformers. I have the original purple and brown version from way back and also the 2022 Legacy version I got recently. But as Im listening to the video you talked about MASK, and Transformers Devastation. I used to love that intro to Mask. And I have Transformers Devastation and didnt play it up thru where Blitzwing appeared. At least I cant remember. But very details video going thru all the phases of Blitz.
A very interesting character!
One of my favourite transformers
I think red wing would be a good name for the bumblebee Blitzwing.
I agree.
I fucking hate fighting him in Transformers Devastation. One of my favorite Deceptacons though.
I'm having a heck of a time with Legacy Blitzwing's legs, transforming them. I kinda have them stuck a certain incorrect way because for some reason the pins don't align in at least one leg at the top near the knee so i can't close it properly.
It was very disappointing when it was revealed that Blitzwing wasn’t Starscream in the Bumblebee movie I would of loved it if Screamer was the main villain of the movie, but at least Screamer was still in the movie.
True. It saves Starscream for a later appearance.
Almost 2400 views in just a few hours. He might just be popular i tell ya
“Come on down autobrat!”
Blitzwing 1986
“What is happening?! Why can’t I control myself?! *switches to random* Not that I ever could!, ahahahahah!!!!”
Animated Blitzwing 2007
So cool! I love it
Hey that’s me
It's funny my little cousin, who was born in the late 80s early 90s was lifted several generation 2 toys including the new alt mode megatron who transformed into a tank. When he went back years later and watched the series proper he was really confused as to why blitzwing was the tank and not megatron lile his toy! I wonder if any other kids had this experience?
[ Well ] Blitzwing did took out 4 Autobots ( Unlike the others before the movie ), his form of a tank & Jet make him a threat ( Although he ain't the brightest of the Decepticons ) besides that no doubt he earn his place in the Decepticon ranks ( But its very unfortunate that Octane got the spotlight on the Season 3 episode Starscream's ).
Blitzwing's jet mode has delta wings. Those don't have horizontal stabilizers
RE-WATCHED!! 🎉😊🎉
We never got the helicopter/jet in the states 😢
Even in comics the "bayverse" designs look like pure SHIITE!!
Please do Optimus Prime
Can you do a retrospective on the other triple changers sometime in the next few days
3:37 Again. Why didn't Astrotrain ask Galvatron to forgive him after realizing needing to jettison some weight lead to Megatron becoming Galvatron in the movie? If I were him I would've screamed "FORGIVE ME MEGATRON! IT WAS MY FAULT YOU ENDED UP LIKE THIS! I DON'T WANT TO SUFFER THE SAME FATE AS STARSCREAM"
No need, Megatron knew the ish bag responsible 😂😂😂. He still “functioned”…
@@geechie-don7157 Okay. I know Starscream leaving him for dead in space was the straw that broke the camel's back.
Yes sir
I think it’s clear that five faces of darkness is the main reason. He’s the most popular triple changer and has the most versions in media also considering that bumblebee was at one point plan to be a prequel my guess is they wanted a generic seeker to be killed by bumblebee they just chose the blitzwing random I think the reason they gave him a German accent was blitz is the German word for lightning didn’t give him lightning powers I will never know
Hola, Rodimus.
could you do a optimus prime next time?
I honestly didn’t mind blitzwing being in the bumblebee movie even though his design doesn’t look like him he always look like the character that should been the main villain no offense shatter dropkick were the good main villain in the movie but blitzwing would have been if he didn’t die to early
If I remember didn't blitzwing and astrotrain show up in seaon 1 within a few frames in a episode
No. Both in Season 2. Blitzwing in Dinobot Island Part 1. Astrotrain in Megatron's Master Plan Part 2.
Before the season 2 dinobot island they where in season 1 guarding over mining troops or people collecting resources for energon underground
You're thinking Megatron's Master Plan Part 2. A Season 2 episode.
I hate that new / old bumblebee trope where he's mute. I want my robots to have a voice. It should be a simple enough thing to fix a missing component for advanced robotic life forms
I wish they explored Blitzwing's development in S3 of G1. Can someone please tell me if a TF comic series took advantage of the concept of Blitzwing having a history with the Quintessons?
e-Hobby did, by releasing a recolor of G1 Blitzwing in his Diaclone colors, named Overcharge, to reveal that he was a Quintesson mass-produced military hardware. Legends Blitzwing's pack-in comic even has Blitzwing convincing one of the Overcharge drones (his past self) to forge his own path forward.
L like Blitwzing and Seekers
I wish they stop making Decepticons as simpletons, such great characters only to make them dumb
I remember you getting pissed a few years ago about that bit of news in your video about it.
Hothead Blitzwing: "Never give up!"
Icy Blitzwing: "Never surrender!"
Random Blitzwing: "NEVER MIND!"
The German soldier version of Animated Blitzwing is funny as hell! 😂🤣🤣
Ve have vays of making you talk,lol.🤣🤣🤣
Technically two. Unless you consider the "Arnie" version to be Austrian.
🥶 This retrospective was very fascinating.
😡 Yet, there was the Blitzwing that was a Starscream wannabe!
😈It's more crazy that they even made figures of that one with Megatron's tank mode!
The best Blitzwing is definitely the Transformers Animated personality-wise.
I agree
One day, I'll get to watch TF Animated and see what everyone likes. I'll be honest though. The animation is a little bit of a put off.
@@EclipseWarlordIt’s like Beast Wars in that way. You get used to it eventually.
@@Gojirawars03 I never had an issue with the BW animation. Probably because I watched all the early CG cartoons I could as they were released. My only complaint is that the pre-humans (whatever they're called) were horribly modeled.
With Animated, I don't know what about the aesthetics is bothering me.
The one with the visor face is basically G1 Personality. While I don't like animated that much. He was great written character. Sad we couldn't see him again in Season 4
Animated Bliztwing is still my personal favorite. I like the concept of being a triple changer suffering multiple personality and the idea of triple changing technology is dangerous with a huge side effect.
That is 1 chunky looking Mig-25
G1 Blizwing will always be my favorite. Awesome Retrospective job on the greatest Triple Changer!👍👍👍👍👍👍😊
I feel like a design team as knowledgeable as the one for the live-action films (in contrast to the writers and producers) wouldn't name a Seeker Blitzwing for no reason. I believe you theorized that Blitzwing could be rebuilt into a Triple-Changer a long time ago. Subsequent filmmakers would fumble by not taking that opportunity.
I propose Akums razor, they designed Blitzwing as Starscream for a cool trailer shot and baiting fans into thinking Bumblebee will fight him to sell tickets easier.
I'd say Blitzwing has earned a place in the ranks, cuz my favorite version of him is his 2007 Animated counterpart.
Who doesn’t love blitzwing? he has the design the character and the humor
i, too, was killed by an Underbase powered Starscream.
"😠 Ze Name is blitzwing Insect! Call it ze las thing before i
🤪EXPRESS MY FEELINGS WIT SONG, ZE ITSY BITSY SPIDER..."

This character needs a proper toy so bad.
Shockwave's originally intended role on "Five faces of darkness" would have made it10x better
“The name is Blitzwing insect, remember it, because it’s the last thing you want to hear before I…
Express my feelings in song!” The multiple faces in addition to multiple modes is what made Animated Blitzwing phenomenal!
as a kid of the 80s. when blitzwing & astrotrain came out. they were bad ass. it was like getting 3 toys in 1. they open the door for more triple changers
If the loudest good ol' Blitzbrain is wackiest of Megatrons men, no matter the media.
Always loved the Animated version. The design, the personality, the voices, and the toy are all a slam dunk. He and Lugnut always made for a great villainous duo.
We need some Animated universe Decepticons for future Legacy lines. I'm hoping Blitzwing (done right) is one of the first!!
Bilzwing is one of my favourite transformers as is Skywarp and Shockwave.
@4:32 do you know I learned something new from you tonight I thought it was octane who got banished not shockwave considering that he was kicked out in a few episodes
Really great retrospective, I like Blitzwing. I really did enjoy the Animated version, very different. Also I tried getting an interview with David Sobolov but I never heard back. Great work Rodimus, another home run on your resume.
Blitzwing, one of my favorites.
Yes, the triple changer decepticon earned himself a spotlight in G1.
One of my favorite retrospectives. Thank you RodimusPrimal
tell ya what, guys; why don't you go build a bridge... *AND JUMP OFF IT?!* 🌩⚡️⛈️ 😂😂; meanwhile- hothead: "is it hot in here or is it me?"
you gotta love both G1 and Animated Blitzwing, for different reasons
Agreed!
Too bad most people seem to forget about Blitzwing’s turn in S3. Kinda wish IDW did something with it.
I have the legacy BlitzWing
Great video as always. Blitzwing was one of my favourite Decepticons in the G1 cartoon because of his unique design, and I honestly found it pretty disappointing he got sidelined in the third season after Five Faces. It really felt like they left a great plot hanging there. He should definitely get featured way more (plus get released as a toy I can afford).
A while ago I planned a G1 sequel "series" (kinda recreating it as fanfiction now) and featured Blitzwing as one of the two prominent Decepticon mains, despised by his fellow Decepticons as a former traitor who returned out of desperation on both sides, angrier and more machiavellian than before.
WHAT!!! 😮 🤯 8:04 umm hello.... did anyone catch this.
miles mayham.....mask....what!!!!😮
Specifically in IDW. It's not handled all that well since it felt so shoehorned in.
I miss the split persinality
