'''Blitzwing''' not only has sree modes (robot, jet, und tank) he also has sree alternate personalities (a cold strategist, a short-tempered hothead, und a total nutcase) along vit' sree faces rattling around in hiz head to go vit' zem ([[Alpha Quintesson|Sounds familiar]]). He's as liable to have a conversation vit' himself as he is to say a vord to his fellow Decepticons. Pretty much ze only sing zat keeps him in line is that all sree of his personalities are scared to death of [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]].

:''Voice actor: [[Bumper Robinson]] (US), ? (Japan)''

His cold personality is represented by a long, blue face [[Wikipedia:Hogan's Heroes#Colonel Klink|with a monocle]] and talks with quiet disdain. His easily angered personality has a red face and is gap-toothed, making him look and sound like a certain [[wikipedia:Arnold Schwarzenegger|Austrian musclehead]]. Finally, his crazy personality's face looks like nothing so much as a black jack-o'-lantern and just sounds [[Inferno (BW)|hysterical]]. All three personalities have a German accent.

Blitzwing's special power is based on ice-rays and/or flame-rays, depending on which personality is dominant at the time.

Basically, he's the Purple Baron. Or Herr Freezer Burn.

Blitzwing was aboard the [[Nemesis (Animated)|''Nemesis'']] with the other Decepticons at the time of the [[All Spark (Animated)|All Spark]]'s re-discovery. He partially froze [[Blackarachnia (Animated)|Blackarachnia]]'s arm, commenting on how her demeanor was as unpleasant as her accursed beast mode. Referring to him as Three-Face, Blackarachnia advised him to blow that insult out his actuator. Blitzwing switched to his angry face, shouting at Blackarachnia to refer to him by his proper name, but his insane face took over and decided to express his feelings in song. His out-of-tune rendition of "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" got all the Decepticons arguing until Megatron entered, which prompted Blitzwing to fall silent with the rest. When it became clear the ''Nemesis'' was going to crash into an exploding space bridge, Blitzwing fled in an escape pod. {{storylink|Transform and Roll Out!}}

After Megatron's disappearance, Blitzwing placed a bounty on [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]], intending to punish him for destroying Megatron. Fifty solar cycles later, the bounty hunter [[Lockdown]] contacted Blitzwing, saying he had Prime. Blitzwing promised that Lockdown would payment once Blitzwing received Prime—then asked if he could see Prime turn into a fire truck. {{storylink|Thrill of the Hunt}}

:Blitzwing transforms into a futuristic "Mech-Warrior"ish-tank with large, anti-aircraft-like guns and a squat jet with tracks. The robot mode has three faces, which can be switched around. He looks awesome.

==Trivia==
*His helmet is an obvious nod to a World War II-era German [[wikipedia:Stahlhelm|Stahlhelm]] helmet and goggles. Given the overall design in robot mode, the nature of his personalities and even his name itself, this ''really'' isn't very surprising.

*Blitzwing's face changing gimmick is extremely similar to two other characters from popular 1980s toylines, these being Man-E-Faces from 'Masters of the Universe' & Ashuraman from 'Kinnikuman', otherwise known as 'Ultimate Muscle'.

:''Lockdown is a bounty hunter commonly allied with the [[Decepticon]]s in the [[Transformers Animated]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Tfalockdowna.jpg|right|thumb|300px|"Not bad, for a prawn."]]

'''Lockdown''' is a bounty hunter by choice and a Decepticon by necessity more than anything else. He's got [[Insecticons |no real loyalty]] towards [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]], but the Decepticons always pay on time and allow him access to the systems upgrades he craves. Besides that, he's really such a nasty piece of work that it's just easier for him to be a 'Con than not. Driven by the chase, he'll hunt down any prey you like...for a price. Aside from his fees, Lockdown likes to collect trophies from his Autobot victims, and he has displayed a number of parts that appear to be stolen. (His hook and chainsaw arms appear to be stolen as well, since they don't match his color scheme.)

:''Voice actor'': [[Lance Henriksen]] (English), ? (Japanese)
During the war, Lockdown worked as a bounty hunter. One of his jobs was to bring an [[Arcee (Animated)|intelligence officer]] who carried vital information in for questioning. He encountered [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]], broke off one of the Autobot's forehead chevrons and stole his [[EMP]] generator, turning the healing tool into a weapon.During said encounter,Lockdowm's right arm was destroyed, causing him to use a replacement arm. He was also indirectly responsible for Arcee losing her memory.

On modern-day Earth, Lockdown was hired by [[Blitzwing (Animated)|Blitzwing]] to bring in the Autobot presumed responsible for [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]]'s death, [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]]. He captured Prime using the EMP generator and, impressed by Prime's own personal modifications, stole his axe and forcibly removed Optimus's grapplers, something that traumatised him later on. When the Autobots came to rescue Prime, Lockdown made short work of [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]] and [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]]. [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]], on the other hand, proved a bigger challenge, but Lockdown came out on top (after having a tire mark smudged on his face). He was about to leave in his ship with his new trophies, when Ratchet, who had been suffering from war flashbacks, came on the scene and soundly thrashed him, partially because the stolen EMP generator didn't work on Ratchet himself. Pinning Lockdown, Ratchet painfully removed both Prime's grapplers and his own EMP generator. Lockdown was forced to watch as Ratchet crippled his ship and escaped with a weakened Optimus. {{storylink|The Thrill of the Hunt}}

*'''Lockdown''' (Deluxe, 2008)
:Lockdown transforms into an amalgam of a 1980s Corvette and a 1960s Cougar. He looks freaking terrifying. And he has a hook, essentially making him the "pirate" to Prowl's "ninja".
