Blitz Engines are Decepticon troops from the Marvel portion of the Generation 1 continuity family via Regeneration One.

Built more than twenty years after the "last" battle of the Great War, Blitz Engines are the latest creations of the Decepticon forces. Brought to life by the power of the Creation Matrix, these seemingly mindless troops belie their seemingly ridiculous chicken-like shapes by possessing regenerative capabilities thanks to drawing power directly from the Matrix. This allows them to formulate a strategy against any type of enemy by constantly regenerating and studying their enemy's behaviour. Despite these fearsome capabilities, however, the Blitz Engines have one inherent weakness—they are not self-sustaining, and are powered by Matrix energy from a remote source. It would be a shame if someone figures it out...

Fiction

Regeneration One

Bludgeon created the Blitz Engines abroad the Warworld, Natural Selection, Part Three though they remained inert until infused with Matrix energy extracted from the remains of Thunderwing. The Blitz Engines first saw action on the planet Cresta Superior as a demonstration for Soundwave. They completely massacred Cresta Superior's dominant species, which impressed Soundwave. The remains of Cresta Superior were later investigated by Rook. Destiny, Part One

The Warworld later attacked Cybertron, and while Ultra Magnus was preoccupied with Galvatron, the Warworld launched a massive swarm of Blitz Engines, which tore through the numerous Autobots that attempted to stop them. Among the seeming casualties that fell to the Blitz Engines were Catilla and Windbreaker. The Autobots were overwhelmed by these new troops and were uncertain how to handle them. Perceptor's scans, however, revealed that the Blitz Engines relied on Matrix energy drawn from the Warworld. Prowl dispatched Kup's Wreckers to surgically strike at the Warworld, while he brought out Omega Supreme, the Autobots' strongest warrior. Omega Supreme was able to destroy several Blitz Engines with ease until he was interrupted by the arrival of Monstructor. Destiny, Part Four

Having defeated Galvatron, Ultra Magnus later led the charge against the Blitz Engines. Elsewhere, the Dinobots, having somehow befriended the Demons, also arrived and launched a counter-attack. The Wreckers' strike on the Warworld, assisted by a newly created Rodimus Prime, managed to disable the Warworld and cut off the flow of Matrix energy by destroying Thunderwing's remains. Robbed of their ability to regenerate, the Blitz Engines were all subsequently destroyed by the combined assault of the Autobots, Dinobots and Demons. Destiny, Part Five

Wings Universe

Wings Universe is based on the Generation 1 cartoon, but deviates from it in cosmetic ways and continuity points.

After being recruited into the Decepticons, former champion mecha-soccer player Krok put his celebrity charm to advocate for the Decepticon cause. As such, Krok believed that powerful personalities could do more for a war than a battalion of Blitz Engines. Krok's Wings Universe profile
