Darkwing and Dreadwind combine to form Dreadwing. Darkwind is nobody. Botcon Darkwing... This should have been Dreadwind. I could understand if it was copyright but... wtf........ At least call him Dreadwing and say for some weird reason that some random Dreadwind and the Botcon Darkwing have some how randomly been melted down into this mold. I don't know but Darkwind makes NO SENSE!



I think there is some confusion with the names. The Botcon exclusive was Dreadwind. http://www.seibertron.com/news/view.php?id=10457&f_cat=7&f_keyword=dreadwind&f_year=

This new repainted figure should have been Darkwing. No melting or merging necessary. Now, I would like to see someone kitbash these two and form Dreadwing.

Darkwing/Darkwind looks great. Bought.

Countdown is a possibility.

I don't think Darkwind looks bad per se...But I really can't stand that mold...


Countdown, however, I think is an absolutely brilliant use of that mold...I'm sold...

Darkwind is a pass for me. Wasn't too impressed with this mold to begin with.

Happy to see the CD Red Alert getting this repaint though. It's actually better than the original. Disappointed that this is a TRU-exclusive, though. Wal-Mart or Target would have been preferable to me.

My vote for the HOF goes to my favorite Transformer, Kup, to the Headmasters (who still need new figures that aren't just the characters without their master components) and to seibertron.com for for being the ultimate TF resource.

Rofl, Darkwind's bio is hilarious. He's EMO-CON.
