#sorta like that one thing going around- ba: i'm going through some shit- bw: ah what's wrong- ba: shut the fuck up- bw: okay rude?

Okay, so, big news:

Recently Keyan Carlile managed to get his hands on the original version of the TFA Season 4 pitch document (the one where Blackarachnia was the primary antagonist and the season was largely set on Cybertron) and shared it with the world.

And, you’re never gonna believe this: turns out that Blackarachnia experimenting on Blitzwing was never the original intent of the TFA writers and it alongside the whole “being a Triple Changer automatically makes you crazy” concept only came about because Hasbro demanded a Triple Changer Megatron and the writers needed to come with an excuse as to why Megatron would return to Earth.

Meaning that there is at least an 80% chance that Bot Experiment!Blitzwing might have been the direction the writers originally wanted to go if they had the chance to delve deeper into the other Decepticons’ backstories.

(I’m not joking the document is confirmed to be 100% genuine. Look it up yourself if you don’t believe me)

Damn that dang Hasbro and it's desire to mimic the simultaneously running bayverse movies and their Megatron essentialism, we could've got some main villain Blackarachnia that focuses on her shift in opinion on being techno-organic for the worse 😞 something something the continued rejection of her form (especially from her old Autobot friends that never went back or are presently disgusted) yada yada the spiraling need to fix or perhaps understand her frame twisting into 'fuck you assholes techno-organics for the win', if Blackarachnia was destined to be a hypocrite it would fit if she soon after stopped being one even if out of spite rather than being how she is in the show with implied triple changer energon on her hands.

Even if the triple changer insanity was added later to explain why in the hell Megatron would ever want to go back to Earth when he's already BACK ON CYBERTRON with an easy to manipulate, eager to please and ultimately desperate for attention asshole that is Sentinel Prime right in his grasp - so willing is the big chinned buffoon to approach and mock the fallen 'Con leader that he doesn't notice he's walked right into the leader's control - Blitzwing still would have all the reason to be traumatised the scrap out of from a drastic frame modification to the loss of the other 'Con TCs when the first and last at the time perhaps triple changer experiment.

If the original intention for season 4 was going for villain 'not responsible for Blitzwing's 3 modes' Blackarachnia and all the way in the opening episode she and Blitz were already at each other's throat, maybe Blitzwing just caught some rancid 'Autobot scientist' vibes that ended with a mutated youngling.
