The Dreads are a Decepticon subgroup from the Dark of the Moon portion of the movie continuity family.

The Dreads are a unit of particularly fearsome Decepticons. Their specialty is infiltration and the assassination of high profile Autobot targets. They’re also such unpleasant monsters that even the other Decepticons tend to dislike them.

The team is composed of:

Perhaps affiliated with them are an Enforcer who resembles Crankcase, and the Assaulters, who resemble Hatchet.

Fiction

[edit]

Dark of the Moon film

[edit]

With the retrieval and reactivation of Sentinel Prime from the wreck of the Ark from Earth's moon, Megatron's plan for the Space Bridge was set into motion. Needing Sentinel for his control pillar to activate the ones the Decepticons had taken from the Ark decades ago, the Dreads were sent to secure the former Autobot leader. Chasing the Autobots down a highway, the Dreads attacked, but despite their best efforts, Hatchet was soon destroyed and the survivors were eventually confronted by Ironhide, backed up by Sideswipe. Unlikely to match the Autobot weapons specialist's heavy firepower, Crankcase and Crowbar dropped their ranged weapons, but as soon as the Autobots followed suit, the Dreads deployed hidden explosive spears and attacked, injuring Ironhide. Unfortunately, Sideswipe managed to deflect the spear thrown at him and tossed his gun to Ironhide, who used it to destroy Crowbar before turning on Crankcase. For his troubles, Crankcase was impaled in the face with Crowbar's spear, thrown onto an abandoned car and destroyed after Ironhide kicked the resulting wreckage into a nearby auto shop.

While infiltrating the Decepticon presence at an ancient Mayan temple, Mirage encountered a number of Assaulters, whose powerful sensors proved a particular problem for him thanks to their ability to break his cloaking shield. After rendezvousing with Bumblebee, Mirage then also battled and defeated the Enforcer atop the temple. Dark of the Moon
