Blitzwing is a Decepticon Triple Changer who holds a grudge against Bumblebee.
Fiction
Bumblebee Movie Prequel
During the Great War, Blitzwing functioned as Diabla's handler during her stint as an Autobot spy, being the one who ultimately had her return to her faction. A later encounter with the Autobot Bumblebee ended in a humiliated Blitzwing being left for dead and swearing revenge on the scout. Several thousand years later, Blitzwing made his way to Earth during the Cold War and fell under the command of Malignus.
In 1964, Blitzwing reunited with Bumblebee in London and eagerly began exacting his revenge. Unable to match the Triple Changer's strength, Bumblebee was forced to detonate a gas main and flee underground. The encounter with his thought-dead foe led to Bumblebee erroneously believing that Blitzwing was in charge of the Decepticon forces on Earth. This claim was proven false when Bee was at the mercy of Blitzwing's true master Malignus. Energon Is Forever
Unfortunately, Malignus' master plan began going sideways when Diabla suddenly turned on the Decepticons by saving Bumblebee from a Sharkticon. With Runabout smashed aside by Dead End and Astrotrain fleeing the battle out of disgust for Malignus' leadership, Blitzwing was the only one left to deal with the renegade Diabla. He was almost succeeded in killing her when Bumblebee suddenly tackled him, thus throwing his aim out of control and ultimately striking a missile fired by Malignus. To add insult to injury, a heads-up from P.R.O.G.R.A.M.M.E. agent David Reeve allowed Bumblebee to evade a shot fired by Blitzwing, a shot that offlined Dead End. Fortunately, Blitzwing escaped the collapse of Malignus' base using Dead End's corpse, and remained at large until the next time he could face Bumblebee. From Cybertron with Love

Notes
- When the first trailer for the Bumblebee movie was released, pretty much every viewer assumed that this very very Starscream-y looking Decepticon, who features many design and transformation elements lifted from the original Generation 1 Seeker bodytype and the classic red and grey/white colours of the original Starscream... was obviously friggin' Starscream. A synopsis for the film posted on the official Viacom blog even referred to the treacherous Decepticon by name[1]—only for the synopsis to be edited within hours to remove it. Director Travis Knight then stated at San Diego Comic-Con 2018 that the Decepticon was, in fact, Blitzwing. Hmn. Yeah, we're as incredulous as you are.
- Blitzwing was used as a "cover" name on concept art of Dark of the Moon Shockwave.[2]
