Blitz, one of Soundwave's most discreet Mini-Cassettes. Blitz: A Little-Known but Essential Mini-Cassette
Blitz appears in G1 spin-off materials, including catalogs, some comics, and secondary fact sheets. Often used as a support element, it is designed for quick and discreet operations.
Unlike better-known mixtapes such as Ravage or Laserbeak, Blitz was not intended to be a primary weapon. Rather, it assisted Soundwave with logistics, communication, and publicity.
His role is reminiscent of certain support Autobots like Wheelie , but in a dark and cybertronian version.
