Just a drabble I wrote about Blitzwing because I was like “Hey. Let’s be sad”
The game of “Keep the Decepticon Lord as far from the serious fighting as we can without him noticing” started when Megatron came to power, because for the most part the frontliners really liked him and didn’t want him dead. They were also well aware that the Chief Strategist of the Decepticon Empire would be very loudly upset if his mate came back seriously damaged. Strika and Lugnut are expert at this; sure, let Megatron have his fun, but don’t let him end up dead. That way, you get a nicely de-stressed leader and not a dead one.
Megatron does not appreciate this.
To put it mildly.
Megatron is well aware that this is a thing. Megatron tries to undermine it at every turn. Which just escalates the whole situation, because there’s the leader actively trying to get into even worse situations than they were trying to keep him out of in the first place! So Strika and Lugnut have had to take drastic action on occasion. Rare occasion.
Drastic action involves physically removing Megatron. Neither party particularly enjoys this, and as such, it’s only used in the direst of emergencies, when Strika’s realized that they’re really truly slagged and Megatron’s still trying to rally the troops. Megatron hates it because it’s undignified. Strika hates it because a stout blow with the flat of a sword may not be fatal, but it hurts…and wounds on the back are embarrassing as Pit.
“Who is that?” Lugnut asked, watching the footage of the battle. His optics were wide as he stared at the video of the soldier tearing apart enemy troops.
She was splattered with the energon of Autobots and the fires made her seem to glow.
“That’s General Strika, one of our ground troops.” Blitzwing said before turning back to the video feed.
“She- she’s beautiful!” Lugnut gasped, almost dropping his datapad.
Blitzwing just slowly turned to look at the other Decepticon.
