Altmode and transformation schemes are different, plus, I think articulation is a bit greater. The wings especially. They look like they hinge like a classics Starscream.

Also Thrust had a head. Resembling a squid it may have been but i thought it was a cool design. Dont quite understand why they can come up with a new body scult for all the drones but not an origonal head for each

think the long neck would still make it look awkward. Size wise it should work tho

Dreadwings jet mode looks good but his bot mode isnt that great. I hope hasbro starts makeing some D-Cons with heads not just these drones.

Why hasbro, why make these robots with one eye??? :-?. Well the jet mode is really good, just the robot mode... :?

why are dreadwings legs and torso so shrunkin head like. so far 2008 BB, Brawl, and Leader Prime look the best.but that dropkick dude looks pretty snazzy too

His bot mode just makes me think of Swindle as a jet. The whole Cyclops thing is bugging me a bit. Oh well. Is this one of the characters in the game? It looks like that of which we've seen in some of the screen caps.

Reminds me of those little maintenance bots in SW Phantom Menace. You know the one camera eye, skeletal, and short...

Not my favorite. :?

exactly what I was thinking. The whole eye thing is a problem in these designs.

I like Dropkick, looks like a very good figure

Never though I'd say this, but Armada Thrust looks better than this thing.

At least he has a face, and not a lens.

Had they given him a head and hands instead of boosters. He would not be that bad. his alt mode is pretty good. But come on this isn't even close to being a functional robot.

Is the "opposable thumb" such a archaic concept, alien robots from another planet don't need or want it?

Why pick something up, when you can melt it.

Haha kill it with fire, nice.

Jet mode is fantastic. Robot mode is ultra sucky. They switched his arms and legs! It's like some cruel joke.

Really though, not all transformers can be really awesome. Some times we need the fat chick of the group to make the others look good.


Edit: Looking at the pics again, this guy has screamers alt mode. Makes me wonder if this is another scrapped design that they ended up making anyway to pad the toy line?

While robot mode isn't the greatest, jet ode is ace.

They're drones. Nothing more than expendable drones. Which is why you waste so many of them in the Game.

I know they are. I was just making a wise crack about the most famous one-eyed bot in the TF universe.

I'm guessing we'll be seeing at least one purple repaint in the near future...

I have to agree man it looks sucky. Plus the out of scale of the movie figures is annoying the hell out of me.

So... the ENTIRE nose cone and canopy is his head.

Right.

Pass. BIG time.

I foresee shelfwarmer territory here.
Re: New Images of Movie Dreadwing (176765)

Too bad, I like Dropkick, Strongarm and Swindle. Most of the movie Game figures are alright.
Re: New Images of Movie Dreadwing (176780)
Posted by Zeedust on June 21st, 2007 @ 10:01pm CDT
Probably one of the weakest in the movie line, but still beats the crap out of Cybertron Thundercracker. If his poseability is decent, I'll pick him up... The flamethrower hands actually work on a drone, since he's cannon fodder that won't be doing much outside combat.

Agreed. Plus, with Shockwave in the game, I'm sure we'll see him in plastic form, even if it is just a repaint.

LOOKS LIKE

sure

but its like they took an idea that wanted to be great and fixed it.

Like Smokejumper & E-Starscream

one's the okay, but obviously flawed version; while the other is the vastly improved.

Well I think the key word here is drone. Their like storm troopers ya know, and when you look at a Storm trooper they pretty much all look the same when their in full armor, So thats why both Swindle and DreadWing have the 'Decepticon' Camera lense head.

Hey I wonder, They gonna make any Autobot Drone figures?

Maybe I just have an absurdly dirty mind, but this bot mode comes off as a big jumbled mess of phalic imagery to me. Dickwing, he shall be called.
