Legacy Evolution Dreadwing Found Listed on eBay

Posted by Emerje Jun 8, 2023 at 9:46pm CDT 75,448 views
An auction on eBay is giving us our first look at Legacy Evolution Leader Dreadwing. The Skyquake repaint doesn't have any new parts on the figure itself, but does replace the gatling gun with a proper canon just like the original toys. The colors are not cartoon accurate and there's a lot of debate within our Energon Pub Fourms about just where Hasbro got the colors from, but that's going to take an official reveal to get the truth about. Thanks again to Sowndwave76 for letting us know!

That shade of blue looks brighter than the one in the show but it might just be the camera. Mine used to make purples look bluer. The original Transformers Prime Dreadwing figure also seems to have a different shade of blue than the one he sports in the actual show, much drabber.

The yellow highlight and the red canopy on the cockpit? Wrong Dreadwing, Hasbro:

Was that a deluxe class figure?


Yup, and an original mold among several retools to boot.

What was he retooled into?

Of course, Dreadwing would be next.

I'll still wait for the Machine Wars Starscream version, most likely with a new head.

Not buying that mold until it's made into G1 Skyquake and/or MW Starscream. [-(

Nobody: what I meant was the majority of the Beast Hunters Autobots and Decepticons were retools of their Robots in Disguise figures, while he and a few others were original molds.

His vehicle mode reminds me of Beast Machines Jetstorm a little bit, hehehe.

Oh yeah that makes sense, and seems obvious now, my brain just interpreted it the other way when I first it.

Thanks!

My Armada Megatron arrived today, and he's mostly okay, nothing spectacular but not awful either. It's a shame that the arms don't have full range of motion below the shoulders so poseability is limited, but the transformation is nice and simple and he looks good on the shelf.

Wow... I don't know anymore.

My local Walmart finally caught up with current offerings... sorta. They basically skipped over anything past Deluxe Wave 1 and got Evolution Wave 2 on the shelves... but not in the system. Still no Core, which makes me :BANG_HEAD:

I'm almost warming up to the shade of blue on this guy
Wish he had more yellow/gold though, too much gray

Still holding out hope it's just bad pics like the first product shot I saw of wreckers Bulkhead

Dreadwing looks pretty good. I wish they had used translucent yellow though, the red doesn't really fit him for the chest. He is my favorite Prime Decepticon, and one of my all time favorite Decepticons in general, so I will buy him

Agreed on the translucent yellow
And on the favorite decepticon from Prime

Why does his decepticon symbol look slightly different? Is that a nod to something?

Gotta be something related to a "Seeker" or something. Unless it is something related to King Atlas

Looks identical to the one from the original toy to me...

Yeah, I dont even search for Core or Deluxe at retail anymore. Neither my Walmarts, nor Targets are carrying them. Its all Amazon for me, unless I travel like I did a couple weeks ago and happen to find well stocked Targets far from my home that actually carry merch that isn't RotB or Earthspark.

not to go off topic or veer the conversation away from this new Bot, but I recently spotted the War Dawn 2pk on ebay and was wondering if i totally missed this release because I don't recall even hearing what retailer it's from. Some listings say Game Stop, but I've not seen it on their site.
