#private is just such a good name though he’s a younger warframe than the Blitzwing system that is here now | Explore Tumblr Posts and Blogs

Note

Given how the alters of the Blitzwing system are all named after adjectives or nouns that describe their personality (if a bit oversimplified), some of the potential names I’ve come up with for Blitzwing’s original/forged personality (based off the timid, sensitive, and anxious interpretation) are:

Fraidy

Fidget

Bashful

Coward

Private (what I’ve personally been leaning towards as it not only describes his personality and how the system prefers to keep him hidden from the world for his own safety, but it's also the lowest military rank, making it a neat little three-way pun)

Ough I really like Private- I just imagine that pre-BETC Blitz was called Private (or a Cybertronian specific translation that meant a little more than just a human military rank) by older or more experienced warframes that were already type-caste (a less fun pun) into being soldiers of a kind. Private may have a complicated relationship with the name, but it’s a name (even if only a nickname or as a term of endearment for a youngling) that was given to him not by the elite but by HIS community, by warframes.

I can just imagine in Blitzwing’s headspace, Astrotrain and Octane (neither particularly used to referring to someone in military terms) speaking Private’s name with such a fondness that even if perhaps neither of them fully have the context, Private just gets to feel comforted by having that connection.

#ask #anonymous #blitzwing #tfa blitzwing #transformers #tfa #BETCs #bot experiment triple changers #maccadam #private is also the name of the penguin who’s canonically the youngest but that’s a tangent #i just really like to think that warframes have certain little jargon and slang that take the harsher roles they’ve been given and turn it-#into terms of endearment- referencing that one cybertronian language headcanon that being they have three different voices #while their voicebox might say ‘private’ wings might say ‘my child’ or engines might hum ‘dear youngling’#and just saying ‘private’ with any shred of fondness is much closer than the cold rank it came from #private is just such a good name though he’s a younger warframe than the Blitzwing system that is here now #perhaps not fully under the title of ‘youngling’ but between astrotrain and octane it’s hard to argue otherwise hah
