| 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 from the Energon portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.
Dreadwing is an emotionless clone of Mirage who is noted as a creature of pure evil even amongst his fellow Decepticons, bringing a chill to all who encounter him. Unleashed like a plague upon the Autobots, he fights artistically in pursuit of the systematic termination of his enemies. Caring nothing for the Decepticon cause, his only purpose in life is the destruction of anyone who stands in his path. A path marked by the footsteps of doom![1]
Fiction
Timelines
Dreadwing[2] attacked the Iron Hope with Sharkticon. Force of Habit
Toys
Energon
- Dreadwing (Mega Class, 2004)
- Accessories: 4 missiles
- Energon Dreadwing is a redeco of Mirage, transforming into a Cybertronic speedboat/hydrofoil. Pressing a button on his deck causes a pair of spring-loaded missile launchers to pop up; this assembly forms a backpack for robot mode that turns them into over-shoulder cannons. The boat's rear section features another pair of spring-loaded missile launchers, plus fold-down "flight wings". These form forearm-mounted weapons in robot mode. Due possibly to the plastics used, he is more stable than Mirage, and less apt to pop apart when you bend his joints. In particular, his knees hold together better.
- Hasbro's stock photo shows him primarily in silver, but the final toy is colored very differently, being primarily baby blue instead.
- This mold was also used to make BotCon 2009 Banzai-Tron.
Notes
- Aaron Archer stated on his Instagram account that the G.I. Joe Cobra Moray hydrofoil loosely inspired Mirage/Dreadwing's alternate form.[3] Archer had also stated in another post that Dreadwing's color scheme was based on a fan-painted Gundam figure he saw at Hobby Japan.[4]
