- Wingthing is a Decepticon Action Master partner from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Wingthing is one of the many, many animal-friends of Soundwave. It's kind of a really twisted Snow White deal. Wingthing certainly shares his master's penchant for cruelty, and gleefully follows his every command, indulging Soundwave's manipulative desires. And much like his master, Wingthing is hated by pretty much every other Decepticon for it.
Toys
Generation 1
- Soundwave with Wingthing (Action Master, 1990)
- Wingthing is a robotic bat. Pushing down on his tail flips his head and a chunk of his inner body around via a spring-loaded mechanism, revealing a (non-firing) blaster. Folding his wings up forms his "concussion cannon" mode, which can be used by any regular Action Master figure. His gun barrel can be extended by attaching the handgun from any carded Action Master.
Notes
- In Dreamwave's More Than Meets The Eye profile series, every Action Master partner robot profiled was retroactively given the "Targetmaster" classification, though the partners to characters who had previous, non-Action Master toys (like Soundwave) were omitted from the books' lineup. However, the across-the-board application of the Targetmaster term for those that did appear makes a pretty clear inference that all of the Action Master partner-bots are Targetmasters... at least, as far as the Dreamwave universe is concerned.
