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
Megatron assigned Dreadwing the task of ridding them of Airachnid, and Dreadwing took Breakdown along on the mission with him. Unfortunately Breakdown's temper resulted in Airachnid attacking them and webbing Dreadwing to a tree. With the apparent loss of Breakdown, Dreadwing returned to the Nemesis to face a disappointed Megatron. When Megatron himself later went to find Airachnid, Dreadwing followed him, and after a standoff, was able to rescue his leader from the Autobots after giving his word not to shoot. However Megatron did not give his and had his troops open fire on them as he and Dreadwing made their getaway, while telling Dreadwing that he would make a fine second in command. Crossfire
