Dreadwing felt his brother's death, but stopped off to kill Seaspray on his way to Earth to investigate. He was followed by Wheeljack with whom he had a brief battle before scanning a new alternate mode and reporting to Megatron. Having been filled in on his brother's death, Dreadwing was keen for some avenging, despite Megatron's orders, and lured Wheeljack and Bulkhead into a trap. Using Bulkhead as bait, Dreadwing intended to kill Optimus Prime. However, the Autobot leader was tougher than Dreadwing anticipated, and he was forced to disarm the bomb he'd planted on Bulkhead and retreat back to the Nemesis. Loose Cannons
