- Dreadbot is a Decepticon from The Last Knight portion of the live-action film series continuity family.
The monstrous hooligan known as Dreadbot is a tough, destructive thug who's hard to control and even harder to kill. It seems a little weird that he transforms into such a stereotypical symbol of peace and love, but maybe he's just got a sense of humor—check out those Christmas lights.
Fiction
The Last Knight film
Dreadbot was incarcerated by human authorities after a "bank robbery" in which he killed nine people and didn't actually take any money. He was one of the Decepticons whose release was negotiated by Megatron to help him hunt down Cade Yeager. The humans at first denied his release due to his crimes, but Megatron's threat of violence convinced them to reconsider and free him, provided he was fitted with a GPS tracking device. He followed his leader to Yeager's scrap yard and then to a nearby town but they were met with some not-quite-unexpected resistance in the form of the Autobots Bumblebee, Drift, and Crosshairs and damaged in a trap set by Yeager. During the fight, Grimlock arrived on the scene and Dreadbot died as the Dinobot snared him in his mighty jaws, presumably made a nice snack out him. The Last Knight
Notes
- Dreadbot reuses Crowbar's robot-mode model with modifications (like the aforementioned Christmas lights wrapped around his upper right arm).
- Probably related to the above, set reports from the film identified him as "Hooligan", the name found on Crowbar's concept art from Dark of the Moon.
- His rusty old Volkswagen Microbus altmode was one of the first vehicles spotted on set.
Foreign names
- Japanese: Dreadbot (ドレッドボット Doreddobotto)
- Korean: Dreadbot (드레드봇 Deuledeubot)
- Mandarin: Hacker (China, 骇客 Hàikè)
- Russian: Dreadbot (Дрэдбот Dredbot)
