Dreadwing Origins - This Highly Dangerous Decepticon With Morals Is A Ruthless Killing Machine

The Transformers universe is full of unique characters with exciting origins that have come a long way from being a part of a toy line to becoming well-loved characters on screen. One such character is the anti-hero 'Dreadwing', first introduced in the Transformers toy line in 1988. Dreadwing was created when two new toys named 'Dreadwind' and 'Darkwing' were released as a set. These two toys combined to form this deadly Decepticon that soon became a recurring character in various Transformers media, such as movies, series, video games, and comics. He was extensively included in the Transformers Prime animated series and was also written into the Transformers movies to some extent. Let us have a look at his origins and explore the story arc of this powerful Decepticon!

    OK but Dreadwing was never an Autobot, it's a different thing if the guy has a code of honor and morals he won't cross as a Decepticon, even for his master Megatron.

    It would have been so cool if Skyquake stayed alive in TF Prime long enough for him and Dreadwing to reunite and it'd be revealed that they could combine into Dark wing the skybreaker that could have been a cool way to introduce Combiners into the series. Dreadwing was one if my top favorites the the series I would have loved to have seen him and his brother fight together be it as combiner or side by side and for those who may not know dreadwing was voiced by the legendary Tony Todd if you don't know Jim I highly recommend you check out his work in both acting and voice acting.

    You should do next video about Shockwave, he's pretty terrifying Transformers character, almost like Doctor Frankenstein of their universe.

    They did Dreadwing so good. Awesome story arc, amazing voice actor and he was great as The Fallen in ROTF too (Tony Todd) still have to grab the new leader class.🤘

    The cortigal psychic patch was actually invented by Shockwave, not knockout.

    A Decepticon is NOT a antihero but rather a villain.

    Dreadwing turned from autobot to deception? Hmm 🤔 I made an oc named stormstrike who is a starscream repaint but has an autobot brother named icecomber. Stormstrike left the bots after his brother's and his mentor alpha consla died in spark failure. she saw the potential they had but stormstrike left in the grieving he was on a mission and shot down medix found him injured and took him for medical attention as ice comber has a conjunx named cometracer and even in argument he would return to the autobots. The stormstrike renamed himself to starknight and getting rid of his nullrays. There's been allot more then just these two as I came to total of 5 oc I'd save one for myself.

    Great video and I like the debates of what would have happened if Dreadwing would have still been alive :) Please make videos for the following transformers from both the original G1 cartoons and the the later shows : Grimlock, Hot rod, Cup, and Octane :)

    If Skyquake didn’t die because of Optimus, Dreadwing probably would’ve Joined the Autobots and the story would play out the way most of us wanted it to be. (Or at least how I would’ve preferred it, he’s my favourite TF:Prime decepticon)

    There's also a dude who was a Decepticon who turned Autobot. He was also in prime i just forget his name at the moment. Cool video
