Dragoyell
- Dragoyell is a Mini-Con from the Generation 1 and Unicron Trilogy continuity families.
Dragoyell (ドラゴエール Doragoēru) is almost never seen on the front lines. He much prefers to sit back and observe battles from afar; his eyes can clearly zoom in on objects over 3km away. This "commando ninja" uses his mirror-like wings to confuse his enemies both while on recon missions and in battle, striking with his "Dolven Tail" whip while they're disoriented.[1]
Fiction
Transformers Legends comic
Rattrap had a Dragoyell in his Mini-Con toy collection, but it was stolen by Starscream and delivered to Megatron, who considered the ultra-rare Mini-Con the ultimate prize. Megatron attempted to powerlink with Dragoyell and power up, only for Rattrap to take the Mini-Con's place, causing him to power down instead. After the Decepticons fled, Waspinator snatched the Dragoyell, claiming it was part of his collection. Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. EX (Armada Megatron)

Toys
Generation 1
- Dragoyell (Micron, 2007)
- Japanese ID number: TM-PR ("TeleMaga Present")
- A redeco of the Classics Mini-Con Nightscream, Dragoyell transforms into robotic dragon. He was a prize in a "Lucky Draw" from the September 2007 issue of TV Magazine (aka "TeleMaga") in Japan, not a simple mail-away offer as is commonly believed. Though the magazine claimed that there were 2000 made, this was either a misprint or plans changed after publication, as it is estimated that the number of winners is not even a tenth of that number. As such, Dragoyell has become one of the priciest and hardest-to-find Mini-Cons on the secondary market.
- This mold was also used to make Universe Brimstone and Age of Extinction Sling.
Notes
- Dragoyell's instructions pretty unambiguously state he's a Maximal. However, his toy still bears the Autobot faction symbol. Hm.
- Despite the bio's notation of "mirror wings", the toy's wings do not appear very mirror-like at all.
