doodled some designs for spkwv Astrotrain and Blitzwing (+ a little yapping about triple changers in the au under the cut)

So, Triple Changers in Sparkweave are a rare category of frame. Engineering cold constructed triple changer frames is a difficult task and, as they're resource intensive, they tend to be unique to the individual. Meanwhile, kindled triple changers are simply highly unlikely to occur (compatibility of parent alt modes plays into it, as does the compatibility of the carrier's spark with the requirements of this frame category). As such, there's a lot of unknowns around these individuals.

Ignited/CC triple changers are at a high risk for psychological issues and glitches due to their sparks being incompatible with the flexibility of a frame with two alts. Specifically for these two: Astrotrain has a hair trigger temper and trouble expressing this outside berserker rage. This is worse in his shuttle mode, which is the mode most often required of him. Blitzwing, meanwhile, shows no preference between modes, but is prone to extreme moodswings. He also claims to struggle to remember orders he is given, though whether this is a side effect of his frame, an unrelated issue, or a lie is unknown.

Kindled triple changers- such as Sandstorm and Springer- tend to be much more stable, unsurprisingly. There are two other interesting cases on the Autobot side, however.

Perceptor is an ignited triple changer prototype and much more similar to his kindled fellows. He has an immobile primary alt mode, but also a secondary alt with treads. He does not describe himself as a true triple changer, but also doesn't suffer from the symptoms typical ignited triple changer.

Broadside, in contrast, is a true ignited triple changer, yet he still doesn't suffer from the symptoms the decepticon triple changers do. It's theorized that his spark is a rare one with the elasticity needed to accommodate two alt modes without issue. This would be great if he didn't also suffer from extreme frame dysphoria in regard to both of his alt modes.
