#random's lucky he's got a face of his own- icy and hothead wouldn't much appreciate finding iron filings between their dentae

Okay, that Private comment made me realize that Canon!Blitzwing is already 3/4ths of the Penguins of Madagascar. Hothead is a less charismatic and more brutish Skipper, Icy is literally just Kowalski’s Transformersona, and Random is Rico if he talked more often, not to mention how all of them are complete menaces to society that serve as a one-mech military unit who are surprisingly effective at their job and regularly alternate between being incredibly smart and incredibly stupid. At this point I’m genuinely surprised more people haven’t considered the “Blitzwing had a different personality prior to becoming a Triple Changer” idea as a way to complete the quartet, but then again if you aren’t paying close attention it can be hard to tell whether each face is their own person or if they’re all different aspects of a single personality.

On a side note, I loved that scene in Transformers Animated where Blitzwing was being cornered by Autobots after being stripped of his weapons and responded by having Random take control, who then coughed up a missile launcher and proceeded to give them the thrashing of a lifetime with it much to their shock and horror. Truly, one of the moments in Transformers history.

Truly one of the moments, truly truly *spent the prior 44 minutes watching two episodes of TFA to scour for evidence* 😔👌

I guess associating a robot with three faces, one probably intended to simply act as one less than cohesive unit as a representation of triple changer-ness in bot mode over actual representation of DID, to three quarters of a penguin spy team was a little bit of a stretch of the imagination thanks to not having any names in common- I mean, I certainly didn't notice until Private (original frame Blitz not the penguin) got his name. Not to say NO ONE made the connection but, at least it's not been very vocal haha!

I'm just pondering either Icy or Hothead to front again after Random coughed up a launcher and just go 'Damn it not again!'- I mean it IS Random afterall that seems to have eating on the mind (servo salad and Autobot snowcones for instance), seems that any old scrap of metal would find it's way into his teeth much to the rest of the body's chagrin-!
