- Dreadwing is a Decepticon-allied Mini-Con from the Generation 1 and Unicron Trilogy continuity families.
Dreadwing is the leader of the Predator Attack Team, a trio of vicious robotic hunting animals who are always on the prowl. Unlike his teammates, he's all business, killing his prey in the most efficient way possible. Oftentimes, his first attack is the only one he needs to take a 'bot out. Even after a job is done, he keeps a collected exterior, and doesn't fraternize. Between his performance on the battlefield, and his tendency to keep silent and simply stare at his teammates while they do all the talking, Dreadwing unnerves even those he works with most closely.[1]
