	Blitzwing, consigned to the [[Underground (Cloud)\|Underground]] along with other exiles from [[Metropolis]], was one of many who were inspired by [[Megatron (Cloud)\|Megatron]]'s call to unify as the [[Decepticon]]s and take [[SARA]]'s power from the [[Autobot]]s for themselves. {{storylink\|TFC-D01}} His partner was fellow Triple Changer [[Astrotrain (Cloud)\|Astrotrain]]. {{storylink\|Lightwave}} Soon, Blitzwing took part in the initial battles between the Autobots and the Decepticons. {{storylink\|TFC-A01}}		Blitzwing, consigned to the [[Underground (Cloud)\|Underground]] along with other exiles from [[Metropolis]], was one of many who were inspired by [[Megatron (Cloud)\|Megatron]]'s call to unify as the [[Decepticon]]s and take [[SARA]]'s power from the [[Autobot]]s for themselves. {{storylink\|TFC-D01}} His partner was fellow Triple Changer [[Astrotrain (Cloud)\|Astrotrain]]. {{storylink\|Lightwave}} Soon, Blitzwing took part in the initial battles between the Autobots and the Decepticons. {{storylink\|TFC-A01}}

	After [[Megatron (Cloud)\|Megatron]]'s disappearance from Cloud World following his battle with [[Optimus Prime (Cloud)\|Optimus Prime]] over SARA, the rudderless Decepticons were forced to turn to [[Starscream (Cloud)\|Starscream]] for leadership, a fact not embraced by many in the army, Blitzwing included. Nevertheless, Blitzwing recognized that Starscream was able to unify the Decepticons against the Autobots, making the job easier should Blitzwing achieve his own aspirations for leadership. In the course of battle against the Autobots in Metropolis, Blitzwing directly criticized Starscream's leadership style, including the fact that he was not fighting on the front lines amongst his soldiers. Egged on by this and Blitzwing showing off his Triple Changer skills, Starscream went into battle at attempted using stored energy from SARA to power himself up. This ended up only burning out the new "leader" and Blitzwing took advantage of this, knocking away the failed Decepticon and taking command. {{storylink\|Crisis (Cloud)\|Crisis}}		After [[Megatron (Cloud)\|Megatron]]'s disappearance from Cloud World following his battle with [[Optimus Prime (Cloud)\|Optimus Prime]] over SARA, the rudderless Decepticons were forced to turn to [[Starscream (Cloud)\|Starscream]] for leadership, a fact not embraced by many in the army, Blitzwing included.

	However, [[Optimus Prime (Cloud)\|Optimus Prime]] returned in the nick of time and his leadership allowed the Autobots to whittle down the Decepticons to the point where Blitzwing was forced to surrender. Just as the Decepticon leader threw down his arms, Starscream swooped in with a new body thanks to properly interacting with SARA herself. With his new tank mode, Starscream was able to knock down Blitzwing with one shot.
