Darkwind

This article is about the heroic Decepticon. For his evil Powermaster counterpart that sometimes shares his name, see Darkwing (G1).

Darkwind is a heroic Decepticon from the Shattered Glass continuity family.

Actually, Darkwind, you're about to be dying down there.

Darkwind is a heroic Decepticon who forms a comedic duo with his equally jovial friend Dreadwind. Don't confuse him with Darkwing.

Fiction

Fun Publications Shattered Glass continuity

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

Darkwing wasn't happy about being mistaken for Darkwind, and didn't think the comedy brothers were that funny, either. Coalescence

A gun barrel of laughs.

• Gigant Bomb (2004)
  • Japanese ID number: RM14
  • Accessories: 12 missiles, "Pulverizer" rifle

Robotmasters Gigant Bomb was officially repurposed as Shattered Glass Darkwing.

A redeco of the Generation 2 Dreadwing toy, Gigant Bomb transforms into a "flying wing" style stealth bomber, and a treaded tank. In all modes, he has a six-missile gatling cannon that launches the missiles in turn by rotating the rear portion of the cannon. The missiles can also be mounted under his wings, and airdropped by pressing the clear-amber "gems" over each to pressure-launch them out of place. 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. It can combine with Smokesniper's unique weapon, the "Radial Pod". 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.
