Transformers Prime Powerizers Dreadwing

Very cool looking.Not too bad to transform.Hard to make him stand in cool posesWeapons are AWFUL. What was wrong with his usual minigun-like weapon?Vehicle form would be great if not for his hands sticking out from under the thruster... Seriously. Almost kills this figure.Luckily, his robot form is badass enough without all the gizmos.

Great toy for my 5 year old son as well as collectors. Well constructed and transforms well. The originals from the 80s were obviously constructed with more solid materials, but this is a decent replica.

This Dreadwing looks ok, but he feels very flimsy. The points of articulation are decent, he just simply feels like he was cheaply made.

Back in the 80s we had TF Powermaster Decepticons Darkwing and Dreadwind. They would combine to form "Dreadwing." (The Powermaster concept was AWESOMAGE.) One of the due was so depressed that his depression spreads like a virus. The other takes his own depression and makes sure everyone's more depressed as him. They made a good team, somewhat.Now TF Prime has Dreadwing; a Decepticon who "fights with honor" and is pretty much Cyclonus' missing "armada." (If you watched the '80s Transformer movie, you'll get the joke.)But enough nostalgia.Dreadwing's transformation proves to be more difficult than his fellow voyager Breakdown (who's somewhere in the middle). The connections between his arms and his body don't hold up so well. The "push to glow" weaponry is annoying. But otherwise he's a cool-looking samurai-esque Decepticon...

I like this figure a lot. How could you not. I do wish it was a bit larger but it's a really nice piece and resembles the animated character nicely.
