Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...
Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.

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 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)?

Not a sheeple.
Think for yourself, don't let the magic TV box and social media do the thinking for you.
Question EVERYTHING!!
Just because you have a youtube review channel doesn't make you special.
I look forward to attending a Botcon soon only to settle matters with several idiots in person (yes this is a threat).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
