Dreadwing (TFP) (RUS)

Dreadwing fiercely hates Autobots, and especially “destroyers.” With all this, he has a rare set of positive qualities for a Decepticon - he is not only strong and decisive, but also intelligent, knows how to maintain a balance between obedience and initiative, is straightforward, not devoid of nobility, and works in a team without difficulty. At the same time, he is very stubborn: the desire to avenge his brother at all costs is his main motivation and often turns out to be stronger than military discipline and a sense of duty. Under the influence of emotions, Dreadwing can lose control of himself.

Height is about 10 and a bit meters. Case color: main color is blue, with rare inclusions of yellow, there are scarlet light indicators. The color of the optics is classic red. His face is stern, with hard features, a heavy cleft chin. His head is somewhat reminiscent of a dragon's head: on the helmet there are an abundance of pointed segments that resemble horns. The scarlet optics are set wide apart. The face plate is yellow. Dreadwing is large and powerfully built. A little heavy for his height. The shoulders are broad, with heavy, predatory shoulder pads that cover the outer side of the shoulder all the way to the elbow joint. The bracers consist of three segments and partially cover the hands of the manipulators. The pelvic section is narrow. The legs are strong, with a stable “three-toed” foot. On the shins, the alt mode tail elevator sticks up and slightly to the sides. A pair of vertical stabilizers are located on the back and look like a pair of small wings. The wings themselves are located lower, with their ends pointing down.

F-35 Molniya II fighter-bomber; This aircraft is characterized by a short take-off and vertical landing, is hardly noticeable to various tracking systems, due to which it can also be used for reconnaissance flights.

Plasma gun, sword; In addition, Dreadwing has an impressive stock of explosive devices of varying power. Dreadwing is a top-class demolition specialist; during a battle, he is able to place a mine directly on the enemy’s body, and in such a way that he will not even notice it. In addition, he has his own spaceship, which is called the "Sky Claw".

Skyquake is an elite Decepticon fighter, the twin brother of Dreadwing, who has been guarding energon reserves on Earth for many years. During the war on Cybertron, Megatron hid huge reserves of energon on Earth and left several of his warriors, among whom was Skyquake, to guard them. The Decepticon remained in stasis for many years, standing guard over the supplies resting in a mountain gorge, until Starscream, who had assumed the status of a lord after the supposed death of Megatron, decided to awaken him so that he would set a positive example for the soldiers with his obedience. Starscream hoped to easily subjugate the legendary fighter and, thanks to his power and strength, strengthen his own authority. But, to the amazement and great displeasure of the newly-made leader, Skyquake flatly refused to bow to him, declaring that he recognized only one leader - Megatron. Soon, Bumblebee and Optimus Prime arrived at the scene and put forward a proposal to Starscream to conclude a truce. The arrogant seeker stated that he was ready to consider him only if Optimus bowed his head in front of him, for which he immediately paid: Skyquake, completely irritated by his arrogance, hit the Decepticon, after which he, frightened, transformed and flew out of the gorge, deciding observe what is happening from a distance. Then Optimus turned to Skyquake and urged him to leave his faction and help him end the war between the Autobots and Decepticons, but he replied that he would never take Prime's side and attacked his sworn enemy. At first, Skyquake did not have a combat mode, and he could fight using only a machine gun and his own fists, but then he scanned Agent Fowler's plane approaching the scene of the fight, which took the battle to a new level. Only through the joint efforts of Prime and Bumblebee, who managed to climb onto Skyquake’s body, wound him in the air and thereby force him to crash to the ground, were they able to defeat the formidable Decepticon and extinguish his Spark. Skyquake's body was buried in the same gorge. After Megatron's return, Starscream, who had suffered greatly from the lord for trying to usurp power, decided to take revenge on him by creating his own army of zombie transformers, and the first candidate for resurrection was Skyquake. Although Starscream managed to revive him with the help of a fragment of dark energon, this time he was unable to achieve obedience from him (or rather, he did not have time, since he himself was wounded in a skirmish with the Autobots who arrived in the gorge where Skyquake was buried, and was forced was urgently to return to the Nemesis for repairs even before it came to life). The awakened Skyquake was thrown into a parallel reality called the “shadow zone” by the explosion of an earth bridge; As a result of the same explosion, the Autobot children's allies - Jack, Miko and Raf - were also there at the same time. Possessed, like all Terrorcons, by an irresistible desire to kill, Skyquake persistently chased after children, although they did not pose any threat to him. While running away from him, the guys came across Starscream's severed hand, which still had a charged rocket launcher. Using it, Jack managed to shoot off the mad Terrorcon's hand, but this did not stop Skyquake; worse than that, the limb separated from the body itself (and even at an even greater speed than its former owner) began to pursue the children. Fortunately for Jack and his friends, the Autobots found a way to rescue them from the shadow zone, and Skyquake remained there forever.

Dreadwing and Breakdown seemed to get along well with each other. When Dreadwing was tasked with killing Airachnida, he took Breakdown with him. Breakdown didn't complain about the task as they both tried to hide behind Airachnid. However, Airachnid knew this: she goaded Breakdown into losing his temper and attacking her, despite Dreadwing's attempts to calm Breakdown down. When Airachnid turned the switch and killed Breakdown, Dreadwing remained silent, returning to the warship, where Megatron tried to explain that Breakdown's signal had not been detected, and was angry at Dreadwing for not finding Breakdown's remains, although it was M.E.H. . Silas stole his remains.

Airachnid seemed to get along with Dreadwing until Dreadwing was tasked by Megatron with destroying her and Breakdown began covering for him. Airachnid believed herself and Dreadwing to be Megatron's skilled warriors, which infuriated Breakdown when she revealed that she was referring to herself and Dreadwing, not Breakdown. Soon, an enraged Breakdown set off in pursuit of Airachnida, as a result of which he himself died, and Dreadwing was tied to a tree with a web.

Knockout and Dreadwing are usually found together. In "Patch", Dreadwing came to "help" Knock Out, who stopped Knock Out from separating Megatron from his mind and body using a cortical physical patch. After they both witnessed a flashback in which Starscream revived Skyquake as an undead zombie Terrorcon, Dreadwing remained standing in place and was called "awkward" by Knockout. Knockout looked worried as Dreadwing disappeared from the room.

Dreadwing was a high-ranking Decepticon Seeker who was very loyal to Megatron. He became Megatron's second-in-command when he disobeyed Megatron's orders and followed him into a cave where Megatron was fighting Airachnid's Insecticon. In the last moments of Dreadwing's life, when he decided to avenge his brother by trying to kill Starscream, Megatron was forced to kill Dreadwing. Although Megatron was killed by Bumblebee, he avenged everyone who was killed by Megatron, including Dreadwing.

At first, it seemed that Dreadwing considered Starscream a traitor and deserter. Dreadwing decided to return Starscream to Megatron as a prisoner during Dreadwing's hunt for the Apex Armor. When Starscream received the Apex Armor, he confronted Dreadwing and mocked him by declaring that he would reunite him with his deceased twin. When Dreadwing learned from a cortical psychic that Starscream had corrupted his brother, Dreadwing swore revenge and came close to killing Starscream.

Dreadwing did not really like Optimus and, having learned that it was he and the Autobot scout who killed his brother, he swore revenge on them. It appears that Dreadwing and Optimus worked together as an alliance when they destroyed Starscream in Apex Armor. Having learned from a cortical psychic that Starscream had dishonored the death of his brother Skyquake by turning him into Terrorcon, he gave the Forge of Solus Prime to the Autobots in the hope that it would avenge him. He seemed to have a lot of respect for Optimus as an opponent, and Optimus, in turn, felt the same way. Optimus even invited Dreadwing to join the Autobots.

Dreadwing captured Bulkhead in Loose Guns. Dreadwing used Bulkhead as bait to lure Wheeljack and Optimus Prime. Bulkhead was tied to a crate on the docks, where Dreadwing also attached one of his bombs to Bulkhead. Eventually, Dreadwing had to defuse a bomb on Bulkhead when Optimus trapped Dreadwing with a claw machine on the docks. In Hard Knocks, Bulkhead met with Dreadwing again and mentioned that Dreadwing didn't have enough "ball bearings" to fight in person. Dreadwing accepted Bulkhead's offer to fight, and the two fought briefly. However, when Dreadwing was ready to arm himself with his bomb, which he placed on Bulkhead during their fight, Bulkhead placed the bomb on Dreadwing's back. Dreadwing took it off and threw it into the air. In Regeneration, Bulkhead, along with Optimus, Arcee, Smokescreen and Bumblebee, went to Dreadwig. Dreadwing gave them the Solus Prime Forge, but Bulkhead decided it could be rigged to explode. Dreadwing told them about the Omega Keys and that he no longer wanted to be among the Decepticons. Optimus tried to recruit Dreadwing, but he did not accept his offer. Perhaps Bulkhead forgave Dreadwing since he flew away.

Wheeljack fought Dreadwing in a game of Loose Cannons. Wheeljack told the Autobots that he fought Dreadwing in outer space and that Dreadwing killed Seaspray with one of his bombs. Wheeljack later met up with Dreadwing again in a small canyon where Bulkhead was waiting in ambush for him. It turned out that it was a trap: Dreadwing planted a bomb under Bulkhead's hideout in the canyon. The bomb exploded and left Wheeljack in a pile of rocks, while Dreadwing captured Bulkhead. Optimus Prime helped Wheeljack get out of the rocks, and they went in search of Bulkhead. They eventually found Bulkhead, who was tied to a crate on the docks with a Dreadwing bomb on his chest. Dreadwing eventually fell into Optimus's trap and was forced to disarm the bomb. Before escaping, Dreadwing detonated other bombs he had planted on the docks, causing them to explode several crates. Even though Dreadwing was unaware that he had given the Forge to the Autobots, Wheeljack may have forgiven Dreadwing.
