This freakin rocks!! ;)^

I am one happy camper for having forked over the money for this years Botcon set! It's nice that they at least gave us a remolded head under the helmet to better fit the Dreadwing look.

I want it...

Though it was a nice idea, the re-molded head isn't enough to get me excited. Unlike the seekers, Dreadwing isn't iconic enough.

The retooled head is great! Watch the remaining sets sell out fast.

I like it.. They even gave him a new head.

I wonder what that con only exclusive will be..
Sunstorm (I hope not because I would love a classics seeker version of him)?

O my, those colours are so darling. I want one.

If you read the captions, it actually says this guys name is Dreadwind, not Dreadwing. Here's hoping for a typo. Otherwise he looks good for a toy outside my price range. lol

That's exactly why I love him, because he is a great obscure TF to remake. not like the seekers who, though 'iconic', are just overused, predictable repaints of predictable molds.

Mneh. Jetfire was awesome; this is just overkill.

For some reason, that quote makes me think Marvin the Paranoid Android. Is this an exaggeration, or is Dreadwind basicly Dead End with wings? I'll admit to not having read the comics.

It's about time the classics decepticons got some firepower

by **Predaprince** » Thu May 03, 2007 11:33 am

Yes, that is a good Dreadwind. Here's hoping they make a Classics Darkwing and the combine alt. gimmick exists with the two as it was in the originals.

Don't count on it, thanks to Disney's Darkwing Duck

Good job on the head and colors

. Now where's Hi-Test?

I wish Hasbro actually put the same level of creativity into their public release line as they do their BotCon sets. It puzzles me why they wouldn't release the repaints to the public. This Classics Dreadwing, along with the other four BotCon exclusives, would sell like hotcakes.

Blech. This does nothing for me. :\ All the other Convention exclusives are pretty nice, though...

by **Talous** » Thu May 03, 2007 11:41 am

Y'know.. I kinda like it. The colors just seem to fit.

News Credits: 15 · by **Ravage XK** » Thu May 03, 2007 11:42 am

Hmm, I dont really like it at all.

News Credits: 5 · by **--B--** » Thu May 03, 2007 11:46 am

Do I like it?

Yes

Would I pay 50+ bucks for it?

No

News Credits: 1082 · by **Tigertrack** » Thu May 03, 2007 11:46 am

I like it, but that's because I really like the Jetfire mold...

The helmet will never be on with mine, but hey...

For some reason, I pictured more purple on him...less white. :-?

hmm, i offically don't feel bad to have not gotten the botcon exclusives this year.. the three seekers look great, but dreadwing and bugbite are pretty worthless imo.
