Blitz Engine

Built more than twenty years after the "last" battle of theGreat War,Blitz Enginesare the latest creations of the Decepticon forces. Brought to life by the power of theCreation Matrix,these seemingly mindless troops belie their seemingly ridiculous chicken-like shapes by possessing regenerative capabilities thanks to drawing power directly from the Matrix. This allows them to formulate a strategy against any type of enemy by constantly regenerating and studying their enemy's behaviour. Despite these fearsome capabilities, however, the Blitz Engines have one inherent weakness—they are not self-sustaining, and are powered by Matrix energy from a remote source. It would be a shame if someone figures it out...
