Fiction
End of G1 Universe
With the universe drained of most energy and soon coming to an end, Bluebolt, on orders from Vector Sigma, went on a long journey to bring the dead body of Leo Prime to Earth where he could be revived with Unicron's remnant energy in the planet's crust. Dark Amber Leo Prime bio The resurrection ritual was interrupted by Untite, who summoned an undead Seeker to restrain Bluebolt while Untite approached the corpse to eat it. However, the magic circle was already complete and activated, unifying Leo Prime with Unicron's energy to create Dark Amber Leo Prime. Bluebolt believed this black warrior to be Leo Prime resurrected, but the new being mocked this belief, only being convinced to save the Maximal by the Energon Matrix within him. After Untite weakened Dark Amber in battle, Bluebolt offered their body for Dark Amber to consume and gain energy from, only to be rejected. Dark Amber instead elected to eat part of the planet, recovering and taking down the Seeker. Dark Amber Leo Prime (First) Bluebolt watched on as their "hero" also took care of Untite, but corroborated the hyena's revelation that Earth was soon to explode with them on it. After the stubborn Dark Amber used Unicron's power to restore the planet to a verdant, living one, Bluebolt joined him and the rebuilt Untite in travelling throughout the universe to fix other planets. Dark Amber Leo Prime (Second)
Notes
- Bluebolt is a virtual redeco of Kingdom Maximal Skywarp, which was in turn a head retool of Deluxe Class Airazor.
- Bluebolt's name would appear to be a play on Silverbolt, the original mold use of Skywarp's original toy, so as to make an elaborate riff on the old Bluestreak/Silverstreak conundrum.
- Theur name taken with their otherwise baffling "Weaponizer" title may also be a reference to the weapon of the same name wielded by God Magnus from Car Robots.
- In a bit of convergent evolution, the Car Robots Bluebolt has since been re-imagined into a Weaponizer character itself.
