Read this over on http://transformerslive.blogspot.com/ 'Thanks to "oni" here is a possible new screenshot from Transformers: Dark of the Moon that shows of a yet unseen character named Blitzwing' with an interesting picture

BLITZ'VING!!! YES! I hope he's tri-polar like in Animated!

Looks like tank treads and definitely wings.

This movie is shaping up to be full of fanwank ... that's not necessarily a good thing.

It's not!? Aw, FU...dge, I just knew it!

Interresting. Looks like his Jet mode is going to be that of a Euro fighter




Were was this still taken from? Weren't we supposed to get a new trailer during "I AM 4"? Could this be from that trailer?

We can't jump to any conclusions yet...but it's possible. I hope this is true.

Yup thats good ol' Biltzwing.

Thanks for Seibertron.com member whipslash for letting us know about a very interesting picture that's surfaced over at the Transformers Live Action Movie Blog site. According to their latest post, the new image, supposedly captured from a scene in Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon, reveals what could be a very exciting new Decepticon cast member: the triple changer Blitzwing. In the picture, we see what appears to be a robot similar in style to the other movie characters visible parts from both a jet fighter and a tank. Of course, this news is completely unconfirmed so it's definitely one for the rumor mill. But with Michael Bay promising to go out big with this film, this could definitely be true. When we know more, we'll let you know.

The image is mirrored below. To see the original post, click HERE.

Mixmaster was a triple changer, was he not? Robot mode, truck mode, and cannon mode.

Hope this rumour is true!

Oh lord, not a desert again...


Bits and pieces look kinda familiar. Like the upper arms are very similar to the recent Hailstorm/Mindset toy. The lower arms, head, and even the wings particularly look 'borrowed', but I can't remember from who.

While I'm not getting my hopes up, I REALLY would like to see some more new Decepticon characters in this movie.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that cannon thing. I stand corrected.

I don't buy it. Way too skinny to be both a tank and a jet. Remember that really convincing Wheeljack that turned up a while back?http://media.photobucket.com/image/movie+wheeljack+/Zaraxion1021/Transformers%2520Movie/MovieWheeljack.jpg

Is it Blitzwing? No. As a matter of fact, looks like it's a fake to me. I wanna believe it's the real deal, and we're taking a glimpse at Movie Blitzwing, but it's gonna take more than this to make me believe in fairies... did I say that out loud? I meant Blitzwing. Not that I believe in Tinker Bell...

What do you have against deserts?

Who cares which triple-changer it is? Michael Bay will find a way to screw it up anyways. He had his chance to appeal to the average Transformer's fan's sensibilities, and RotF still sucked. Way to go Mike, you can't even revamp an already popular franchise properly. Just give up now.

IF this picture turns out to be legit, and that is still a big IF regardless of it's source at this point, don't expect much beyond a single scene with this guy in it. They may have had a bigger budget and more time to work within for TF3 but there is also a lot more stuff to pack into the final installment so don't get your hopes up for anything beyond a 5 second cameo from any of the peripheral characters. It sucks because I want for this to be something more than just a rumor. I almost had a nerdgasm at the thought of Blitzwing having appreciable screen time but we have to be realistic in our expectations.

Looks great, but at the same time too polygonal and simplistic to be a Bayformer. Probably character from the DOTM game though.

was only a matter of time until they added a triple changer, as bayformers go it doesnt look to bad from that angle. There need to be more triple changers, every toy line and show should have at least 1 or 2 and have them be real triple changers not that half/miss-transformed crap they try and pass off with straxus and ROTF soundwave a real triple changer like classics astrotrain.

That's great but it would be greater to have springer also

Looks a lot more like Hailstorm without his rocket thingies defeating a jet - Those jet wings do not really look attached to the robot, but looks like he's "breaking through" a jet, and it's passing over his back.

I'd like to see either bot really.

Honestly, what makes me most skeptical is how much he looks like his G1 self. The tracks and wings are in the right place and the wings have the same silhouette as G1 Blitzwing's MiG-25 alternate mode.

Unfortunate that it's probably fake, since he'd work really well in the movie. He'd make a good bit of muscle to back up Shockwave's appearance, and his air-to-ground-to-air would not only look good on screen, it would counter Optimus's own abilities neatly.

Also, ROTF Megatron was kind of a spaceship/tank triple-changer, although we never got a clear enough look at him in either form to tell if there was actually any distinction.

Totally agree!

If it IS from the bay film, and it is a triple changer that looks like that, he'll be called "Bruticus"

This is amazing news BUT hopefully it's not going to be a two minute cameo.

BUT, who am I kidding? Bayformers, ahahaha...

I love the idea, trust me, but I'm a little hesitant to believe that he'd be cool enough to give us something like this. For all we know that's a jet-bot ripping up a tank or a tank-bot ripping up a jet, or just jet or tank parts flying by as debris. Still though, that would be so effing awesome!
