Dreadwing (Movie)

The name or term "Dreadwing" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Dreadwing (disambiguation).

Dreadwing is a Decepticon in the live action Transformers film continuity family and ALSO a bunch of mass-produced drones on both sides.

You may have more eyes than him, but there's more of him than you.

Dreadwing isn't particularly smart, which makes people wonder where he got the technology that allows him to teleport. He obviously didn't invent it himself, and no one else on either side of the war has the ability, so all signs point toward him having stolen it. He's not really liked by his fellow Decepticons, because of his penchant to perform nasty pranks on them as often as he does it on Autobots. As such, most of his time is spent alone, plotting his nasty schemes and spiking other robots' gas tanks with sugar. He's not the first one to pull off stunts like that.

Sometimes there are other guys who look just like him.

On both sides.

He can teleport...but he's not good for pushing people down stairs.

Dreadwing units can be either Autobot (top) or Decepticon (bottom)

There are also lots of Autobot Dreadwings. While the Decepticon Dreadwings have camera lens-like faces, the Autobot Dreadwings have a head with a faceplate. They also have slightly different bellies. Dreadwings of both sides have a equal of Attack & Speed abilities, with little defence.

Transformers The Game (console)

Dreadwings appear as solo attackers for both the Autobot and Decepticon armies. Aside from the faceplate differences, Decepticon Dreadwings have a gray camo deco, while the Autobot versions are blue and yellow "Blue Angels" markings. Both are shielded against artillery in robot mode.

Their main weapon is a deadly flamethrower built into each arm. It has limited range, but hoo doggies does it hurt. They are also capable of creating a burning ring of fire by launching into the air then coming down slowly in robot form.

Autobot versions of the drone commonly accosted Starscream while he completed his objectives at a military airfield. Both sides used them as backups during the final showdown in the Mission City.
