This article is about the heroic Decepticon. For his evil Powermaster counterpart, see Dreadwind (G1). For a list of other meanings, see Dreadwind (disambiguation).
Dreadwind is a heroic Decepticon from the "Shattered Glass" continuity family.
Bad fire-based puns aren't helping your case any, Dreadwind.

Dreadwind is a heroic Decepticon who forms a comedic duo with his equally jovial friend Darkwind.

Fiction

Shattered Glass

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 Dreadwind and his stage partner Darkwind executed. Totally downer punchline. Around Cybertron #5

Toys

Robot Masters

I need another gun here!
  • Smokesniper (Destron, 2004)
    • Japanese ID number: RM-13
    • Accessories: 2 launchers, 2 missiles, "Radial Pod"
Dreadwind was repurposed from Smokesniper.
A redeco of the Generation 2 Decepticon Smokescreen, Smokesniper transforms into a fighter jet of undetermined (probably made-up) model. He has two side-mounted spring-loaded rocket launchers that become hand-weapons in robot mode. He also comes with the unique Solitarium weapon "Radial Pod", a non-firing double-barreled blaster. He can combine with Gigant Bomb's vehicle mode to form the large stealth bomber jet called Gigantsniper.
This mold was also used to make Beast Wars II Starscream and Robots in Disguise Smokejumper. It was going to be used again in Generation 2 as a new form of the original Starscream, but that toy was ultimately canceled.
