Fiction
Marvel comics continuity
Goldbug, Slapdash, Joyride, and Getaway travelled to Nebulos to find appropriate facilities to rebuild Optimus Prime. However, Dreadwing had arrived much earlier and was terrorizing the planet with its Powermaster-fueled might. People Power!
Later, at the notoriously robophobic Grand Central Space Station, Dreadwing (erroneously called "Darkwind") remained in vehicle mode and doesn't speak, to avoid attracting hostile attention. Dreadwing assisted Hi-Test and Throttle in their scheme of capturing robots to deliver to the Mecannibals, including Landmine and Cloudburst. Guess Who the Mecannibals Are Having for Dinner?
Later, Dreadwing and the Nebulans attacked those selfsame Autobot Pretenders as they traveled from Femax back to the Station, but they were surprised and defeated by Sky Lynx. They ended up on the run from the Mecannibals when the Autobots spilled the beans about Dreadwing being a pair of (presumably tasty) robots. Recipe for Disaster!
Later, Dreadwing destroyed the Autobot Getaway on Klo, almost flying into a cliff in the process. End of the Road!
