Tformers has aquired 3 new images of the upcoming Transformers Movie Deluxe Dreadwing. Dreadwing is a Decepticon jet (appears to be a Mig 29) who is going to be in the upcoming game, and shares a similar head design to that of Swindle. The 3 pictures are of his front package, robot form and alternate form.

You can check the images out by clicking here.

Yep, we get this crap and the Classic Darkwing is a convention exclusive. It just keeps getting worse.

Hahahahahahaha!!

Thats funny, did a two year old design that?

Yet another P.O.S. TF without hands. Oh goody.

What is with the lense heads? Shouldnt the leader of the clones have regular heads? From this guys bio he's not one of the drones so why does he have a drone head? Same with swindle. Why do i see most non-movie figures haveing lense heads?

EDIT: he also looks alot like armada thrust. I guess they have run out of ideas for new toys.

Ill get this fore pose reasons as in Movie megatrons hand around his head and stuff like that.

I'm pretty sure these are just the pictures from Hasbro's website that we saw the other day.

Although they seem to have replaced Dreadwing's pictures with pictures of Wreckage

Yea they were temporarily up over Wreckages images, but Hasbro found the mistake (thats a new one) and fixed it. So now the images arnt there so I posted the images as a seperate news item here for those who wernt able to see it yesterday.

Just more money NOT to spend. I'm planning on buying a good portion of TFs coming out this year, so any money I don't have to spend is actually a good thing. :p

Swindle and Dreadwing are just hideous. Sometimes I wonder what kind of crack certain Hasbro designers are smoking to think certain designs should actually be turned into products. %)

meh thats not very good needs hands!

I'm completely the opposite of this fandom. I HATE that Classics Dirge is a cheap Ramjet repaint & I think Classics Thrust looks like ****. Everybody else seems to love them. I love this Dreadwing drone & everybody else seems to hate it. Oh well!

EEEW.

The head is so stupid and ugly that I love it. Still not buying it though. I'd like the chance right now to thank Hasbro for saving me a ton of money this year

Alt mode looks canny enough. But that robot mode...

If that design is a guy in the game, I'm gonna enjoy cramming his head through a building, regardless of which faction I'm playing as. Shouting things like

"Get yourself a decent robot mode before you try and attack/transform next to me!"
Heck, if I'm Starscream, I'll hunt him down and shoot him out the sky. What's with the heads? They have the same thing as some of the minicons in the Armada game. Only it looked alright on them.

Ok, that's ah, interesting. Very ugly, I'm not buying it, gosh I'll be saving so much money on TFs this year.

Armada Thrust is reborn..., without a head.

Don't like it. its really a lousy transformer. Compared to the Autobots, heck even compared to Starscream.

Sad when something so promising turns into something like this.

EDIT:
Does anybody else think the purple tab coming off his crotch is just wrong??

I like how it looks, but judging from what I've seen in the Movie Prequel comic so far, it appears to be a more generic form of Decepticon on Cybertron. Could this be a movie Shockwave wannabe?

i´m getting tired of the cliche , russian weapons=deceptcons=bad guys

the fact the toy is crap does not help either.

I'd say it's half decent, but I don't think I will.

Looks like back-catalogue buying for me this year.

the filecard is a mix of skywarp and G2 hooligan

Mediocrity encased in a shell of ABS.

Err, look at it this way:

Of all the bad guys we've seen, about 3-4 (depending on Wreckage - is he supposed to be an LAV?) are US Military vehicles or modified US military vehicles. Only one is a Russian military vehicle.

Lol, Transformers has it's first equavalent to Jar Jar. "Me sa da Dreadwing."

thanks to the crappy bayformers....i'll be saving alot of money and for a long while

I think that's the beauty of this hobby. Everyone has different tastes so therefore there is a special Transformer for everyone. Kind of like how I've always liked the Wheelie toy. Go figure.

It's like a boss used to say to me about 10 years ago back in the day when I used to sell cars ... "Ryan, there's an ass for every seat."
