Have you seen me?

_{This character or person needs some sort of visual representation. If you have one, please replace this.}

Fearswoop is really, really, super-evil and mean and nasty. He has advanced stealth capabilities that let him swoop down on unsuspecting targets fast, riddling them with machinegun fire before they even know what hit them. How advanced is his stealth ability? He's neon yellow and still can't be seen.

Alternate European-market name: Black Omen

Generation 1

Fear the limon!

• Fearswoop (Trakkon, 1993)
  • Accessories: Gun, 2 x missiles

Available only in European markets, Fearswoop transforms into a bright yellow Lockheed-Martin YF-22 fighter jet. In this mode, his large and very un-aerodynamic weapon stand can be mounted on his back end. This weapon uses a combination of the light-piping and gear-wheel gimmicks so that when you look through the "viewscope" and turn the wheel beneath, as the twin gun barrels pom-pom back-and-forth, the view from the scope makes it look like twin beams of laser-fire are striking your selected target.

This version of the toy was boxed, and made available during the "transitional" phase where the toys gained the new-design faction sigils but the packaging lacked the Generation 2 name.

Following the 2009 Revenge of the Fallen film a Wal-Mart exclusive was released including a voyager class Fearswoop with legendary class Sideswipe and Mudflap. The story on the back of the package notes that Fearswoop has found an ancient relic making him grow to a giant, and Sidewsipe and Mudflap must stop him. Retails for $24.99.

Generation 2

• Fearswoop (Trakkon, 1994)

This release is identical to his 1993 release, but in Generation 2 packaging, and was on a blister card instead of in a box.

Notes

• After languishing in obscurity for sixteen years, Fearswoop's name was trademarked by Hasbro in 2009 for a Revenge of the Fallen toy release after failing to trademark "Hooligan".
