| This article is about the Decepticon jet from Revenge of the Fallen. For the Decepticon jet from Generation 1, see Fearswoop (G1). |
- Fearswoop is a Decepticon from the Revenge of the Fallen portion of the live-action film series continuity family.
Fearswoop is dumb as a dented manifold, something of a chicken, and overall an incredibly minor soldier in the Decepticon army. He's only dangerous for the fact that he's a practical jokester whose pranks end up going too far. His capers always cross the line and end up causing trouble for those around him.
Fiction
Revenge of the Fallen toy bio
Fearswoop's latest juvenile exploit has caused him to mutate into a monolithic titan, thanks to the power of a mysterious artifact. This has done nothing to curb his desires, and he's wasted no time in cutting a swath of destruction across the planet Earth, all for his own delinquent amusement with his new-found power. The Autobots Sideswipe and Mudflap have been dispatched to stop him by any means necessary... The Fury of Fearswoop
IDW Dark of the Moon comics
Fearswoop, along with Divebomb and Skystalker, were selling Cybertronian weapons to humans on Starscream's orders. When a NEST strike team attacked, Fearswoop heroically wussed out and surrendered, and was taken alive to Diego Garcia. Rising Storm #1 After a short time in captivity, Fearswoop bore witness to Shockwave breaking into the NEST base and killing his guard, Jolt. He found this amusing. Rising Storm #3 Fearswoop was then taken out of captivity by Shockwave, who was uninterested in listening to how impressed the simple-minded Decepticon was with his killing prowess. The two left to confront a NEST team in Philadelphia, where Fearswoop went on the offensive while simultaneously preparing to tell a great joke... only to crash into Wheeljack's force field and explode before he could get to the punchline. Rising Storm #4
TransTech
When the Waruders caused a blackout in Axiom Nexus, a Fearswoop within the offworlder maximum security prison fought it out with his fellow inmates. Cybertron's Most Wanted
Toys
Revenge of the Fallen
- The Fury of Fearswoop (Figure multi-pack, 2009)
- Accessories: 2 flame-missiles
- Fearswoop is a redeco of the 2007 Transformers movie toyline's Dreadwing, transforming into a modified MiG-29 "Fulcrum" fighter jet (with a VTOL fan and what looks to be an undercarriage sensor pod). His flame projectiles serve dual purpose in both modes, as afterburner exhaust flames in vehicle mode and as "flamethrower" projectiles in robot mode. His chest also has a spring-loaded Automorph gimmick, opening up and revealing more robot parts.
- Fearswoop was only available in the Walmart exclusive "The Fury of Fearswoop" 3-pack with "battle damaged" versions of Legends class Sideswipe and Mudflap. The sizes of the Autobots compared to the much larger Deluxe class Fearswoop make for one of the better representations of real-life scale in Transformers toys... but the packaging copy ruins it for everyone by claiming Fearswoop was unnaturally super-sized.
- This mold was also used to make Overcast.
Notes
- Fearswoop's coloration and characterization are a clear homage to the Generation 2 Cyberjet Hooligan, but trademark issues prevented the use of the name.
