This article is about the Robots in Disguise/Universe Decepticon. For the Generation 1 Powermaster Decepticon, see Dreadwind (G1).
Dreadwind is a Decepticon character in the Universe conflict.
"Fear is the final gift I give to those I destroy."

Dreadwind is part of Megazarak's personal strike force. He's somewhat of a perfectionist, and will not choose a second target until he is absolutely sure he has finished the first. He is always searching for increasingly interesting and hard-to-find objects to destroy. His obsession in finding targets worthy of his attentions is near pathological, much like a collector of rare items. Unfortunately, what Dreadwind finds interesting to destroy is often at odds with his mission objective. Even worse, if he's forced to stop firing upon a target before he thinks he's finished, he will become madly enraged and fire on Autobot and Decepticon alike.

Dreadwind and his partner Smokejumper can combine in jet mode, where Dreadwind's lust for destruction and Smokejumper's eye for detail join forces to create a dangerous force to reckon with.


Fiction

Dreadwind has never appeared in any actual fiction (comic, text story, etc), but he does appear to have played a role in some regardless. Though he was released under the Robots in Disguise toyline, his bio in the 3H Fan Club magazine makes him part of Megazarak's strike force in the Universe conflict.

The same issue gives instructions on how to combine Dreadwind and Smokejumper with Armada Galvatron to form "MegaWing Galvatron", with a note to check online for "Dark MegaWing Galvatron" directions, combining the whole schebang with Tidal Wave. Robert Yee's instructions include a backstory for Megawing Galvatron that places Dreadwind and Smokejumper in the Armada universe.

  • Dreadwind & Smokejumper (Decepticon, 2004)

He can also transform into a treaded "tank" mode. In jet form, he can combine with Smokejumper's jet mode to make a complete aircraft. Dreadwind and Smokejumper are notable for being among the only toys to use decals for detailing rather than paint since the end of Generation 2.
