Talk:Dreadwing (Prime)

Can somebody unprotect this page? —Interrobang 12:16, 2 February 2012 (EST)

Less than three hours, and already some anon shat one out and we had to protect it again. Sigh. - Chris McFeely 18:58, 2 February 2012 (EST)

Can this page become unprotected? After all, Dreadwing has appeared in a commercial. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.45.57.176 (talk • contribs){{#if:16:10, 11 March 2012 (EDT)| 16:10, 11 March 2012 (EDT)|}}.

Given that there is still absolutely nothing to say about him, and each time we've left it unlocked in the past someone has messed it up, we'll just wait until he actually appears. - Chris McFeely 16:21, 11 March 2012 (EDT)

Hey, I thought of something funny to add. The Transformers Prime staff explicitly that they weren't going to use redeco characters, right? Well, lookit what we have here.--184.100.243.196 23:29, 25 March 2012 (EDT)

That boat sailed when they had Tailgate be a recolor of Cliffjumper. --abates 23:35, 25 March 2012 (EDT)

Tailgate wasn't clearly shown, and similar body type isn't uncommon; I point to Animated and WFC. Outright recolors? Not so much. And if that is the case, Tailgate could get a mention too in the trivia note.--184.100.243.196 00:23, 26 March 2012 (EDT)

"This is the first time this has happened except for that other time" is not a great note. --ItsWalky 00:39, 26 March 2012 (EDT)

I don't mean like the first time, I mean like making a joke of it. Example:

"At BotCon 2011, the writers of Prime explicitly said that Redeco characters would not be used. Ask Dreadwing and Tailgate about how well that worked out."

Eh? Eh?--184.100.243.196 01:08, 26 March 2012 (EDT)

You forgot to mention the fact that he is a wizard with explosives.(EDT)

Can we add some trivia to this page, including the above controversy over not using redecos, as well as the fact that this guy is basically [[Dirge (G1)]|Dirge]]? 98.215.52.59 17:36, 28 March 2012 (EDT)

There is no "controversy" and Dreadwing is not Dirge. We do not make notes for the sake for notes. —Interrobang 19:34, 28 March 2012 (EDT)

Um, can you read? They said they wouldn't use a redeco and yet they did. Also, are you oblivious to the similarities between the two? Cross-references, especially for the sake of humor, are this wiki's bread and butter. 98.215.52.59 02:36, 29 March 2012 (EDT)

You're very imperious for an IP address. —Interrobang 02:55, 29 March 2012 (EDT)

I want to add something about Dreadwing's since of 'integrity' that he apparently withholds and has outwardly shown through previous episodes. He seems to be defined as fiercely loyal to his superiors as well as the 'cons he deems 'family', however he has twice now shown honer in demilitarize himself and saving face in front of opposing odds; deciding to disarm conflict by choosing to consider the consequences of his actions, resulting in sparing multiple autobot sparks. It hardly seems aligned with Wheeljack's 'cold-hearted killer' description he was given earlier. Obviously there is more than meets the eye when dealing with Dreadwing, leading me to believe he's far more complex then first considered.

Anyway, I wanted to just add something about his 'integrity' in his bio, tell me if this is too much or tilting on the speculative...

"In addition to his calculative tactics, cool-minded leadership, and fierce loyalty, Dreadwing has outwardly shown a sense of integrity not normally characterized by the Decepticon agenda. During situations of dwindling odds, Dreadwing considers all possibilites in battle and the resulting consequences from hasty decisions. In order to secure a profitable triumph or the welfare of his sovereign lord, the dreaded seeker will save face in addition to saving the sparks of a few Autobots, if it meant to secure a clean victory and a battle for another day..."

What do you guys think, is it a go to add? Arcee-Cola 11:21, 30 March 2012 (EDT)

Well I'm going to go ahead and add it since no one has said otherwise. Go ahead and edit if you see differently. Arcee-Cola 10:26, 2 April 2012 (EDT)

Uh.... or apparently not. This page is locked. Can I get an assest up in here? Arcee-Cola 10:27, 2 April 2012 (EDT)

Yay! Now I'm gonna finally edit this thing. Best thing to happen before I beat the hay with a hammer! I hope everyone likes it. Arcee-Cola 2:25, 8 April 2012 (EDT)

It's... really speculative-y and really goes to lengths to define his personality based on small events in a grand total of two episodes... --Detour 22:06, 8 April 2012 (EDT)

Really? I thought it was rather spot-on, but regardless Dreadwing does seem to outwardly express himself in a "moralized" frame of mind than other Decepticons. That's personally why I enjoy his character so much right now. Thus far every action and decision he has made has been for 'justice,' 'loyalty,' or 'tactical victory,' meaning that he obviously doesn't point, shoot, and charge, like so many other 'cons. Personally I think he's a breath of fresh air in an otherwise cliche environment, and hope that he "does" turn out to be the level-minded loyal warrior of integrity he has so far demonstrated. However, as you said it has only been 2 episodes. --Arcee-Cola 8:01, 8 April 2012 (EDT)

Hey maybe we should mention that Dreadwing appeared in season 2 episode 6 and Skyquake appeared in season 1 episode 6 . —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gamemaster (talk • contribs){{#if:| {{{2}}}|}}.

I think that's pushing it! --abates 20:17, 8 April 2012 (EDT)

Really? I thought it was quite the fun fact........ —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gamemaster (talk • contribs){{#if:| {{{2}}}|}}.

Transformers has a lot of coincidences like that. They're really just coincidences. --abates 21:23, 8 April 2012 (EDT)

Oh....huh....well I guess I need to pay more attention from now on!

Does anyone have any photo's of the voyager Dreadwing, or have none been added yet. --Grimlock140 10:39, 24 April 2012

I was pretty darn sure they (They being Botcon 2011) said that there would be no Starscream redecoes, not there would be no redecoes at all. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, though. --Anon

Seeker (body-type)

Every "Seeker" in the Aligned continuity has been linked to the Seeker (body-type) page. This is incorrect because there is a difference between an Energon Seeker and a Seeker. If Dreadwing (Prime) were truly of the Seeker body-type, so would his twin Skyquake (but Skyquake isn't on the list of Aligned Seekers on this wiki). This means that Dreadwing (Prime) is an Energon Seeker but not necessarily a Seeker. Also, the Seeker Contrail (WFC) has a clearly different design from the other Seekers. We should be spending time to determine which "Seekers" of the Aligned continuity are Seekers and which ones are Energon Seekers. Transformers considered Seekers in the Aligned continuity: -Ace Vehicons -Bitstream -Contrail -Dreadwing -Hotlink -Jetfire -Nacelle -Skywarp -Slipstream -Starscream -Thundercracker Blitstream, Hotlink, Skywarp, Slipstream, Starscream and Thundercracker are definitely of the Seeker body-type. Contrail appears nothing like the other Seekers. Dreadwing and Jetfire, in most other continuities, are not of the Seeker body-type. Nacelle does not exist in other continuities. Ace Vehicons are identical in body-type to other jet-based Vehicons, yet other Jet Vehicons are not considered Seekers.

If the shows says it's a Seeker, it's a Seeker. Simple as that. Also, sign you're posts.Escargon 18:15, 18 September 2013 (EDT)

Aligned Continuity Seekers are basically "any flying Decepticon who has a jet-like altmode." Or at least, that's how it was both during and before the Great War. By the time of TF: Prime, though, the term has apparently become more selective, but still not tied to any specific body design. --Sabrblade 18:31, 18 September 2013 (EDT)

Arms Micron

Do we have any info on Dreadwing's Arms Up modes, if he has any? ThatGuy79 (talk) 12:36, 16 February 2023 (EST)
