what if: Bronzewing survived his sons grew up with Autobots and after a while Blitzwing joins Optimus' team as a security guard (or something like that), and Deadstick as a technology specialist. What would be Bronzewing's reaction when he found out that his sons would have to face Megatron on Earth?
It’s actually pretty close to what their ranks would be! Blitzy would have been a Minor around the time Bee and Deadstick went to the academy. He did get a slight paint job to brighten some of his colors as he got older (mostly his wings)
Deadstick did go into the academy to be a technology specialist, specifically, he focused on the warp engines of Autobot war class vessels. He’s also engineered several laser canons and auto-targeting systems. While not much of a fighter, he’d often join his older brother on missions being part of their family trine.
Blitzy and Deadstick were disheartened to hear when Bee was kicked out of the academy and Blitzwing did not take well to hearing his friend had gone missing. He led several searches to find the lost space bridge repair crew but they didn't have much luck until their life signatures popped up again on earth. As for Bronzewing’s reaction to learning Megatron was on earth (through Blitzy) he was one of the few bots who did not doubt Optimus’s claims and he spent a large portion of time stressed out about his sons' safety when they went to earth.
