Dragoyell

Dragoyell is a Maximal-allied and Autobot-allied Mini-Con from the Generation 1 and Unicron Trilogy continuity families.

She cried, "MORE MORE MORE!"

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.

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. Bonus Edition Vol. EX

DRAGO!!!

• 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 Lost Age 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.
