blitzwing's feral rat

IDW Blitzwing

I wanna ask u if you'd have any newer lore for your continuity 👉👈 I think abt it sometimes and I miss

And like I've heard mentions of RTE's relations with other 'con high command members, but am wondering what they are defined as, if u could elaborate 🥺

OUHGHHHH RTE LORE... tragically despite still being completely fixated on TF I have not had much time to think about new lore... but I shall provide some rambles anyway 👉👈

it's a lot of fun comparing how RTE handles Cybertron and Earth vs Blitzwing's perspective because it reallyyyyy points out some interesting differences (and yet similarities) between them imo<3 like, RTE doesn't have the xenophobia like so many Cybertronians, they just don't care. species like humans are complicated in ways RTE doesn't particularly like. by this point they're tired from the war and loss and near-loss, they want to watch animals going about their lives. it's simple and beautiful in a way. Blitzwing enjoys the creatures too but he's curious about everything, perhaps because he's always been the alien-- the curiosity comes naturally when his entire life with a spark has involved learning about new cultures.

(not to say that RTE has no love for humans, of course! they don't want any living thing to suffer. they just... aren't really interested in all the drama that comes with that level of sentience. Cybertronians are helmache enough.)

(sometimes I briefly wonder if I'm reading too much into one thing with Blitzwing but like. no, I know I'm right. I could write a whole analysis about his endless curiosity. maybe I should. he's balancing the jaded worldview RTE has picked up, and maybe fixing them a little too. hm. another ramble for another post.)

oh my god I have SO many thoughts about RTE and Prowl. they constantly end up in the same places, trying to get away from everything, and it drives them both nuts because they can't stand each other. RTE knows what Prowl is (after all they are literally built to sniff out energon, they know he's hiding red optics) and Prowl hates RTE's carelessness about collateral damage, especially since he's under the assumption that they only care about that just like any other Decepticon. I see the tension coming to a point of them eventually snapping at each other, scaring off whatever creature they were watching, and realizing they do have something in common. so they start to get along a little better, and maybe talk about things, like what does Prowl (and Blitzwing) see in this place, and why does RTE seem less interested in fighting than their peers... sometimes

Prowl is lowkey hard for me in the continuity because I hate characters getting a bad ending but the payoff for his is so vital... augh

(it's weird having this seeming back and forth on RTE's characterization because yes they DO love fighting and blowing shit up and yes they DO need a fucking break from it all and idk if that. makes sense. it does to me because that's me lmao but does that make sense. "fighting is fun but fighting the war isn't fun anymore I want to go home" y'know ??? mannnn I have so many character analyses I could be writing...)

oh I will take any info you wish to share, I genuinely cannot force myself to sit through the graphics of Beast Wars 🙏🙏

I don't have all the logistics quite worked out because it's one of those kinks in the TF One to TFA timeline knowledge things... but the long and short of it is, since Airachnid just sort of dipped at the end of TF One, I have decided she was biding her time during the wars and once she found out Sentinel was still alive (without any memory of who he used to be) she wanted him back (to what end I also do not know). and to get him back she had to lure him out, so the plan was to get him on some dead planet with an old Decepticon warship and a forgotten stock of energon. except Sentinel brought friends and Airachnid ended up catching Elita-1 instead. she made do just fine, maybe an abandoned, bitter ex-Autobot is better for taking down an old enemy anyway. the sideplot is still very much a work in progress I still have sooooo much logistics work to do on this one,,, but it exists... Airachnid isn't really plot relevant beyond this, I just wanted an explanation for both spiders existing in the same continuity and it feels like a logical path to change Elita-1 into Blackarachnia. and give her more unresolved issues about being accepted for who she ends up being 🤔 girl I promise I'll fix you but I HAVE to ruin your life as much as possible to get there. trust

oh my godddd it's SO hard when the fandom pmo so bad but I really do love my continuity Bee !!! he's a little guy with SEVERE trauma and bad coping mechanisms which APPARENTLY involves adopting the feral rat that wanted him dead for like 2 seasons !!! he's been through All The Horrors™ and keeps being a sweet but sassy bot who talks with music and finds a way to befriend literally anyone :((( he's absolutely still a little shit but in the BBM way not the TFA way. I want him to get himself into trouble not be obnoxious ☝️ TFA Bee and Sentinel both are on the same page for me as "I can't fucking stand you but I'm studying you under a microscope bc there's things I can work with here" unfortunately. I just need the little yellow compact to be endearing in a way that makes RTE NOT want to kill him bc they absolutely would not hesitate with TFA Bee as he is,,,

like one thing I notice in Starscream's general attitude towards Blitzwing is he's very... patient. he doesn't understand the triple changer at all but Starscream still knows Blitzwing is competent and gets shit done. maybe Screamer is sympathetic (they're both powerless against Megatron, and look what he did to Blitzwing), maybe he just sees a valuable asset down the line. that's already canon, RTE just adds to it-- Starscream does not understand their infatuation with that mech, but he can be nice to his favorite scavenger's conjunx. okayyyyy maybe I need a character analysis on Starscream tooooo. I have a LOT of thoughts about him augh.

I am a huge subscriber to WaveWave in every continuity and mine is no different 😭😭 I have this whole thing about their dynamic from TF One when Megatron takes over and actually pushes them into a rivalry for his favor (it's very Cyberverse), which is never resolved before the Decepticons are exiled and Shockwave goes on his spy mission. RTE had always been the wingman and hoped they would get back together 😔 they get their opportunity when everything goes south for Shockwave and, instead of calling home and getting no answer, Soundwave picks up! I don't have anything past that yet, but it exists, they'll be all good by the end of s4 ✨✨
