It's been 5 years you know what that means...UPDATED DESIGNS!!! First up as voted by a friend is Blitzwing's Parents in the BBFAU!

Bronzewing: (Blitzwing’s Carrier) Despite being a massive warframe, he is actually pretty mild and laid back. He is incredibly patient when dealing with other bots and it can take quite a bit of effort to actually make him angry. However, he absolutely loves violence and fighting and lives for the sport of the brawl. He fell in love with his conjunx because of her wild temper and the fact she was the only one bold enough to cut up his face as much as she did. She may have disabled that optic, but you know the old saying, love is blind!

Tripwire: (Blitzwings Sire) This bitch is basically feral. She is overly aggressive and has next to no patience. She’s incredibly reckless and flings herself into combat/conflict with wild abandon living for the thrill of the hunt. In fact, one time she rushed into battle and got caught in one of her own explosions, the shrapnel that pierced her chassis completely totaled her gestation chamber, so she was never able to carry sparkling's leaving that job to Bronzewing. Probably for the best as she didn't learn her lesson and keeps throwing herself at opponents. She’ll never stop until she gets what she wants or dies trying.

Fun Facts:

Have 2 offspring: Blitzwing and Deadstick.

Tripwire's Trinemates: Timeout and Triggerhair.

Bronzwing's Trinemates: Goldplate and Silverlace.

Tripwire is based off a f-117 nighthawk! Bronze after several more heavy-duty bomber planes.

Blitzwing and Tripwire are the same height.

The red canisters on Trips hips are special Energon bombs. When the trigger head is pushed, a chemical is introduced that makes the concoction unstable. It will change color then explode.

 Bronzewing has Tripwire’s name carved into one of his wings. He has no idea when she did this, never bothered to buff it out.

 Tripwire used the phrase "You walking disaster bastard mech" as a term of endearment towards Bronzewing.

 Blitzwing was kind of scared of his sire. Mostly her temper.

 Bronzewing was against the triple changer program. Tripwire didn’t personally care until her youngest son died...then she had a problem.

 Bronzewing was apparently “killed in action” according to Megatron. And Tripwire doesn’t believe the reports that an Autobot did Bronzewing in.

 Tripwire went awol after Bronzewing went offline. She hasn’t been seen in eons but she knows of what's happened to her children.

Next up will be their trine mates followed by Bee's parents!

the brush bronzewing is a small pigeon endemic to southern australia. shorter and stockier than it’s close relative, the common bronzewing, it shares the notable ‘rainbow’ iridescent pattern on the wings, found in both sexes. these birds feed primarily by foraging on the ground for seeds, berries, and insects. unlike many other pigeons, they do not congregate in large groups, and are often found as single birds or in pairs.

Mentioned in our introductory post, the Common Bronzewing!

The common bronzewing, (Phaps chalcoptera) native to Australia, is a very interesting bird, with spectacular iridescence on the wings. Like all pigeons, they're round and build absolutely terrible nests. Interestingly, the females do not lose their iridescent wings in any way, with barely any differences in sexual dimorphism, really.

My brain is pure indulgence mode today so I had to draw @eve-of-halloween 's ocs Tripwire and Bronzewing. Doomed romances goes crazy I shall draw them happy and cry about the fact Bronzewing was the family's beating heart and his very own heart got him killed and it just broke them all apart.
