Hi, As a Blurr FictionKin, I’d Like 2 State My(Very Long) Case(Rant) On Why
Is (By Cybertronian/Velocitronian Means) a Scared Teenager (And NOT a Self Serving Narcissist) And Shouldn’t Have Been Put On a RESCUE TEAM By Optimus.
And Why The Rescue Bots Shouldn’t Have Put So Much Pressure On Him (Looking At U Heatwave..) And Why Blurr Would Be Happier Not Being On a Rescue Team.
So When The Bots And Some of The Humans Find Blurr And Salvage In Stasis Pods On Their Ship, Blurr Is The First One Awake, The First Thing He Does Is Hug The Bots Because He Believes He’s Back On Cybertron, But The Second Thing He Does Is Ask “Where’s Salvage? Is He Okay?”. Salvage Was The Loader of Their Ship While Blurr Was The Pilot, When Earth Had Meteors Raining Down On It, Salvage Saved The Cave People While Blurr Panicked And Ran Back To The Ship, Like Most TEENAGERS Would In a Type of Situation Like That(I Sure Asf Would Tbh). Sure, Blurr Was Selfish And Stupid To Run off Without Telling Salvage, But Salvage Also Had No Reason To Physically FIGHT Blurr Over It (Which He Canonically Did, Source; SALVAGE SAYING ‘We Fought’, And Salvage Marching Over To Blurr With Clenched Fists, Plus Ira[Cave Man] Running Out of The Ship In Fear). People May Claim Blurr Never Cared For Salvage, But He Very Obviously Did, When Salvage Was Taken Out of His Stasis Pod, Blurr Immediately Ran Up To Hug Him, Visibly Happy That He Was Alright. Blurr Wanted To Leave Earth In The Spur of The Moment Out of FEAR, If Blurr Truly Didn’t Care For Salvage, Then He Wouldn’t Be So Happy To See Him.
Now With Blurr Taking Credit For The Things He Didn’t Do (Saving The Cave People, Saving Salvage, Etc), That’s a Sign of Blurr Having Low Self Confidence And Even An Inferiority Complex, And Maybe Being Desperate For Attention, As a Lot of Young Teenagers Are Like, He Craves Attention Because of His Life of Being a Racer, Blurr Isn’t Used To Being Treated Like a Regular Bot. Blaming Blurr For Wanting Attention And Wanting To Seem Important Is Horrible To Do, He Behaves Young, Similarly Young To Cody And Francine From RB or Maybe Even Miko From TFP. He Lies Because He Wants To Be Seen As More Than Just That One Racer Bot.
‘But Blurr Is a Horrible Rescue Bot, I Don’t Blame Heatwave For Shouting At Him!’
Blurr Never WANTED To Be a Rescue Bot, He Wanted To Stay As a Racer, But Optimus Denied Him To Have Comfort In Familiarity, Saying Blurr Needed ‘To Give Earth a Chance’, Blurr Doesn’t Like Earth, He’s Obviously Not Happy, Keeping Blurr (Who Likely Has The Cybertronian Equivalent of ADHD And An Adjustment Disorder) On An Unfamiliar Planet Where He’s Uncomfortable And Sad, ISN’T How You Make Him Into a Rescue Bot, Blurr Should’ve NEVER Been Forced Into Being a Rescue Bot, All He Knows Is Racing, He Doesn’t Know ANYTHING About Rescuing, So For Heatwave To Shout At And Scold Him For Not Knowing How To Rescue(Even After Finding Out That Blurr Was Lying) Is Not a Healthy Training Tactic, It Made Blurr Hate The Idea of Rescuing And Earth More And More, Heatwave May Have Had Good Intentions But His ‘Good Intentions’ Caused Blurr Severe Distress. When Blurr Got Onto Their Space Ship And Tried To Escape Earth, That Was Because Heatwave Had Told The Chief That Blurr Had To Go, Which Was Blurr’s Last Straw, His Reason To Leave Earth. The Worst Part of All of This Was When He Arrived Back On Earth (After SAVING Griffin Rock From a Rogue Crashing Satellite That Could’ve Blown Up Both The Space Ship AND Blurr With It) The First Thing Heatwave Said To Him When He Got Back Was ‘I Don’t Know Whether To Hug You or To Yell At You’ DUDE HE ALMOST JUST DIED SAVING YOU GUYS WHEN HE REALLY DIDN’T HAVE TO ??????
The Point That I’m Making Is That Blurr Was Not All That Happy On Heatwave’s Team. When Blurr Showed Up On RiD2015, He Took The Blame For Sideswipe’s Poor Performance, Thinking That He Himself Was For The Blame of Sideswipe Knocking The Decepticon Into The Water And Letting Them Escape. Blurr Told Bumblebee On Screen ‘The Accident Was Totally My Fault, Bee, I Broke Formation To Drive Next To You’, Blurr Was Conditioned By Heatwave And The Rescue Team Into Believing Everything That Goes Wrong Is His Fault, Whether It Be Just a Malfunction of Technology or a Crash, Blurr Believes That He’s To Blame Because of How The Rescue Team Treated Him. Blurr Also Almost Dies In That Episode As Well, While Blurr Was Driving a Bomb Away From Bee’s Team, The Bomb Easily Could’ve Detonated And Killed Blurr On The Spot, But It Didn’t. Blurr Almost Dies Constantly But It’s Almost Never Taken Seriously, Always Used As a Joke Afterwards With The Rescue Bots And Brushed off With Bee’s Team.
Why Do I Believe Blurr Is a Teenager? Simple, He Behaves Very Similarly To Sideswipe, Who’s Described As a Teenager/Young Bot In Many Episodes of RiD2015 And Was Described In Season 4 As ‘Being Moved Around From Home To Home’, Like a Foster Child. Both Blurr And Sideswipe Are Careless At Times, Immature, Dislike Authority, Like Going Fast, And Are Implied To Be Teenagers Who Never Asked To Be On Earth In The First Place.
It Isn’t Blurr’s Fault That He Doesn’t Know How To Rescue, It’s Heatwave’s Fault For Not Teaching Him Properly or Trying To Understand Blurr’s Situation, It’s Optimus’ Fault For Not Listening To Blurr’s Complaints, It’s The Rescue Teams Fault For Treating Blurr Like He’s a Bad Person For Not Knowing How To Rescue. The Only Living Beings To Treat Blurr With Respect And Listen To Him Is Cody, Sideswipe And Bumblebee’s Team.
In Conclusion, Blurr Never Wanted To Be a Rescue Bot, It Was Just The Circumstance He Was In, And The Conditioning He Was Put Through To Make Him Think He Always Wanted To Be a Rescuer, When All Blurr Really Wanted To Do Was Race And Have Fun.
