This is my idea how Blitzwing might have returned to the Decepticons in g1 session 3. Blitzwing was seen at least twice in the show after his banishment by Galvatron. I know the entire serie is full of animation mistakes. But why should we treat something as an error that might be easily true. If Galvatron, insane or not, can accept scourge back after he had temporally overthrown him and spared Octane, at least temporally just for offering him a new energon source, after he kidnapped Trypticon for a plot against him. Why not accept Blitzwing back, who did technically not even anything wrong?

The Transformers are property of hasbro, not of me. English is not my first language and I´m not used to write in it.

Points of authority

Blitzwing was waiting, waiting for something that might easily turn out to be his own execution. He was ready to face Galvatron. The next minutes will decide about his life. He hoped that what he had offered the Decepticon Leader was enough, otherwise. But with Galvatron was no telling. Galvatron had become unstable. Nobody could tell how he would react. Blitzwing wished they had Megatron back. At least he was predictable.

Idiot, he pointed out to himself. You have tried to dispose of Megatron once and that is the reason Galvatron doesn´t trust you. What have you done, when you have found out that the Quintessons were planning to betray us? Yes you run right to Galvatron without thinking first. Always running off and thinking later, if at all. And you thought you have improved from the brainless brute you have been 20 years before. Had you at least the sense to tell him that the Quintessons had double crossed them? No, you have told him that the Decepticon Matrix, the thing the Quints had offered him doesn't exist. The last thing a psycho wanted to hear. Fool, the first thing Galvatron did after being missing for a year was shooting up his own troops. He had lost his mind. That was obvious and you confronted him like that. Have you really not realised this. Face it, all that is as much your fault as Galvatrons.

It´s time now to face the music, he told himself.

In the new hall on the Planet Chaar Galvatron was sitting on his throne. Cyclonus was to his right. Blitzwing knew the new Second in command was willing to accept him back. Even if he was not overly friendly. Galvatron was further flanked by two Sweeps, who were standing beside his throne. Scourge was standing on the side of the hall. They looked downright sinister from Blitzwing´s position. He had to admit the old Unicron knew how to build Transformers intimidating. Blitzwing couldn´t but be impressed how much the planet has improved in his absence. It was a useless wasteland when he left. Now it was still a wasteland, but with a several usable buildings, bases and a few military improvements.

He stood before Galvatron. The Decepticon leader said nothing and showed no visible emotion.

Cyclonus begun speaking.

"Mighty Galvatron, Blitzwing had requested his return to the Decepticons. He had provided us with useful information's about Decepticon personality-cores still stored on Cybertron and he has asked for forgiveness for his insolence."

Blitzwing flinched by the last sentence. He had no other choice than to team up with the Autobots. Galvatron refused to do something about the Quintessons and they were all in danger. Galvatron still said nothing.

It was now on Blitzwing to speak.

"Mighty Galvatron, please accept me back. I hope to prove myself. I realise, I had been wrong and I plead for forgiveness."

Blitzwing felt sour inside. He had just taken the full responsibility for everything what had happened on himself. Pleaded for forgiveness for things that weren´t his fault. For Galvatron´s mistakes. But he was a Decepticon. Like he told Rodimus Prime. He was one of them and couldn´t leave them. Not if he had any choice.

Galvatron smiled now. "Good Blitzwing. You have proved yourself". He stood up. "You are again one of the Decepticons."

That was it. Blitzwing thought. So easy. He only had to through his pride away.

"That means you forgive me for teaming up with the Autobots?"

Galvatron didn´t hesitate one moment, he shot a blast at Blitzwing´s feet, that scorched the under parts of his legs.

"Idiot!", he screamed. Galvatron was suddenly shaking from anger "Do you really think this is about that? You have understand nothing."

"Galvatron", Blitzwing managed to bring out.

"It was completely right for you to work with the Autobots to save the planet. I would have probably done the same thing if I had been in your position. But I didn´t believe you as you tried to tell me. You were right and I was wrong." Galvatron had a sad expression on his face.

"But that. That!", he suddenly screamed, "don´t gives you the right to override my orders and declare the retreat unauthorized."

Blitzwing couldn´t believe what he had just heard. Galvatron had just admitted, that he was right about the Quintessons. That he was the one who made a mistake here.

"Let made me one thing clear my friend", Galvatron said with a sniding tone. "I am the leader of the Decepticons and I declare when a battle is over." He griped Blitzwing on the shoulder. "We were still standing on Cybertron. The Defence System of the Autobots was destroyed. The Quintessons had fled? So what? What have this cowards done the entire battle besides standing around an letting us fight? We had still a good chance to retake cybertron but you have fallen me in the back and forced me to retreat. We could have taken Cybertron but we have lost our chance an all because of you", he screamed at him.

Blitzwing realized in this one point Galvatron was right. They could have still won on that day. Maybe they could have won the war. Maybe they could have.

Galvatron pointed his weapon at him.

"Let this be a lesson to you Blitzwing", Galvatron told him casually.

"Welcome back to the Decepticons." With that he lowered the gun an left.

Blitzwing stood in the middle of the hall. He looked at nothing in particular. His thoughts were turned inside.

Cyclonus approached him.

"You see, if you had just helped the Autobots to stop the Quintessons on that day, nothing of this would have happened. This was never about, who of you were right. It was all about authority"

"I know now", Blitzwing answered.
