#For those unaware that is the infamous comic where Megatron and Ratchet get telefragged together into a horrifying monstrosity.

Okay, big news:

A YouTuber named Keyan Carlile recently made a video detailing all the potential ideas for TFA Season 4, as well as sharing a recently discovered authentic document detailing the original pitch for Season 4 that featured Blackarachnia as the primary antagonist of a season primarily set on Cybertron on his Twitter, and you’re never gonna believe this: turns out that the idea of Blackarachnia experimenting on Blitzwing into a Triple Changer was never the original intent of the TFA writers and 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.

Now people can come up with their own angsty backstories about how Blitzwing became a Triple Changer and make it as messed-up without demonizing Blackarachnia or making her appear worse than she was meant to be seen as, and that’s definitely a win in my book. The “rogue Autobot experiment” backstory I’ve seen circulating around the site lately is my personal favorite so far.

Huh, neat! It always did seem a bit odd that Blackarachnia, who's like... comparatively an embryo compared to the thousand-year-old Decepticons was the one to experiment on him.

If it were up to me I'd just say he got fused a la "The Pri¢e of Life!" with some other poor schmuck.
