The name or term "Dreadwing" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, seeDreadwing (disambiguation).

Dreadwing is aDecepticon-alliedMini-Confrom theGeneration 1andUnicron Trilogycontinuity families.

Dreadwingis the leader of thePredator Attack Team,a trio of vicious robotic hunting animals who are always on the prowl. Unlike his teammates, he's all business, killing his prey in the most efficient way possible. Oftentimes, his first attack is the only one he needs to take a 'bot out. Even after a job is done, he keeps a collected exterior, and doesn't fraternize. Between his performance on the battlefield, and his tendency to keep silent and simply stare at his teammates while they do all the talking, Dreadwing unnerves even those he works with most closely.^[1]

Part of the second wave ofClassicsMini-Cons, Dreadwing transforms into a robotic bird of prey. As a Mini-Con, he has a "Powerlinx"socket that allows him to attach to larger toys with compatible Powerlinx plugs.

His forearms/bird-mode legs are particularly prone to popping out of their sockets.

He was only available as part of the Predator Attack Team, packaged with his teammatesOverbiteandSnarl.
