| This article is about the heroic Decepticon. For his evil Powermaster counterpart, see Darkwing (G1). For a list of other meanings, see Darkwind (disambiguation). |
- Darkwind is a heroic Decepticon from the Shattered Glass continuity family.
Darkwind is a heroic Decepticon who forms a comedic duo with his equally jovial friend Dreadwind. Don't confuse him with Darkwing.
Fiction
Shattered Glass
The Autobots decided they didn't appreciate the duo's feel-good comedy tours of slapstick gags and their signature "Who's Got the Touch?" routine, so they had Darkwind and his stage partner Dreadwind executed. Totally downer punchline. Around Cybertron #5
Toys
Robotmasters
- Gigant Bomb (2004)
- Japanese ID number: RM14
- Accessories: 12 missiles, "Pulverizer"
Robotmasters Gigant Bomb was officially repurposed as Shattered Glass Darkwing.
- A redeco of the Generation 2 Dreadwing toy, Robotmasters Gigant Bomb transforms into a "flying wing" style stealth bomber with under-slung six-missile gatling cannon. He can also transform into a treaded "tank" mode. In jet form, he can combine with Smokesniper's jet mode to make a complete aircraft called Gigant Sniper.
- Unique to this release is the Solitarium weapon "Pulverizer", a hand-held non-firing cannon. Also, this is the only time this mold was sold separately from the smaller partner unit.
- The same mold is used by BB and Dreadwind. The mold was also intended to be used for Megatron in Generation 2, but was never released.
Notes
- Darkwind repurposing the Gigant Bomb toy as a body nods to how his normalverse counterpart repurposed the original version of the mold, Dreadwing, in the Marvel Generation 2 comic.
