'''Fearswoop''' is really, really, super-evil and mean and nasty. He has advanced stealth capabilities that let him swoop down on unsuspecting targets fast, riddling them with machinegun fire before they even know what hit them. How advanced is his stealth ability? He's [[neon]] yellow and ''still'' can't be seen.

:''Alternate European-market name:'' '''Black Omen'''

[[Image:G1 Fearswoop toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Fear the limon!]]
*'''Fearswoop''' (Trakkon, 1993)
**''Accessories:'' Gun, 2 x missiles

: Available only in European markets, Fearswoop transforms into a bright yellow [[Wikipedia:F-22 Raptor|Lockheed-Martin YF-22]] fighter jet. In this mode, his large and very un-aerodynamic weapon stand can be mounted on his back end. This weapon uses a combination of the light-piping and gear-wheel gimmicks so that when you look through the "viewscope" and turn the wheel beneath, as the twin gun barrels pom-pom back-and-forth, the view from the scope makes it look like twin beams of laser-fire are striking your selected target.

: This version of the toy was boxed, and made available during the "transitional" phase where the toys gained the new-design faction sigils but the packaging lacked the ''Generation 2'' name.

===Generation 2===
* '''Fearswoop''' (Trakkon, 1994)

: This release is identical to his 1993 release, but in ''Generation 2'' packaging, and was on a blister card instead of in a box.

== Movie == [[Image:fearswoop.jpg]]

Following the release of the 2009 Revenge of the Fallen film Wal-Mart realeased an exclusive box set including a voyager class Fearswoop with legendary class Sideswipe and Mudflap. Retails for $24.99.

==Notes==
* After languishing in obscurity for sixteen years, Fearswoop's name was [[trademark]]ed by [[Hasbro]] in [[2009]] for a ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' [[Fearswoop (ROTF)|toy]] release after failing to trademark "[[Hooligan (G2)|Hooligan]]".
