So here's a fun fact, I initially thought of portraying Blitzwing as he appears in Transformers Animated, where becoming a Triple Changer messed with his mind and gave him three personalities.
- An icy and cold strategist
- His G1 personality AKA a violent thug
- And a cackling crazed maniac
But I told myself "Eh, much as I'd like it, it'd be too much for what brief he'd show up" before Phosphora would tamper with his circuits, but oh well, his G1 backstory is still decent enough tbh...
Plus the G1 cartoon saw him eventually cooperating with the Autobots to drive the Quintessons away while the other Decepticons were allied with them and Galvatron vanished him from their ranks, and the writers were planning him to have a change of heart eventually, but because Hasbro wanted to have a spotlight episode on a different character, they didn't have the time to do so.
So it's not like I have nothing to work with.
Well, I guess there is his movie version too... But he only shows up for one scene at the beggining of the Bumblebee movie to try to capture Bee, destroy his vocal processors and then gets killed. Oh and he looks nothing like him.
The show does a good job of making the story of Stay Night engaging, and since I don't know much about the original VN besides who the main characters are and the identities of the Servants, I'm still able to go in fairly blind. A lot of turns and developments in the story have managed to surprise me as a result, and it keeps the story suspenseful, while still providing some much-needed lighthearted moments every now and then.
As someone who never played the original VN, so far I think the show's worth watching on it's own merits.

It's hard to predict on both, but more on Oberon. Fae are an erratic bunch.

-The drill was now equipped to one of her arms, and she lunged with it towards the enemies, tackling them with it. In standard tokusatsu fashion, this created various small explosions and sparks to come around-

Monika: "As expected"
"That sword, axe, spear and arrow of yours are also made of bones, correct?"
