Title:
Transformers Prime: Dreadwing
Description:
Dreadwing (Voyager Class, 2012)
Series / Number: 01 / 005
Takara release date: October 27, 2012
Takara ID number: AM-22
Accessories: Blaster cannon/light-up "Magnetar pulse blaster” & sword (Hasbro only), "Jigu” Arms Micron (TakaraTomy only)
Part of the third wave of Prime: Robots in Disguise Voyager Class toys, Dreadwing now comes with different sword and blaster cannon accessories, both of which can be mounted (via 5 mm posts) onto ports on his forearms, hands, wings, and back, as well as behind the cockpit canopy. The sword itself features an additional peg on its hilt, and the cannon has a peg-hole on its translucent side and on the tip of its barrel. The cannon can transform into a longer-barreled "Magnetar pulse blaster” that’s illuminated at the barrel by a red LED as a sort of "Energon glow”. As with other Robots in Disguise Voyager Class toys, the deployed weapon cannot lock into place.
The TakaraTomy release of Dreadwing, part of the seventh wave of Prime product in Japan, has some significant differences from the Hasbro release. Many of his detail paint operations have been replaced with customer-applied stickers, his blue is lighter and metallic, his gray is darker, and he does not come with the Hasbro
version’s weapons. Instead, he has his Arms Micron partner Jigu, who transforms from a robot shark into a weapon vaguely resembling his in-show cannon.
Dreadwing and Skyquake’s very similar looking left and right robot mode feet are notorious for being incorrectly added to the figure during factory assembly, resulting in a left foot on a right leg, a right foot on a left leg, two left feet, or two right feet. Not having the right foot on the right leg and left foot on the left leg causes him to not stand properly because each foot is designed on the bottom to sit at a specific slanted angle. Both feet look very similar to one another, however they can be identified by finding the corresponding "L” and "R” on each one. If placed on a flat surface to be viewed, one will notice that both feet have subtle slants to their stance.
All versions of this mold have a spot that’s very prone to breakage: the thruster / stabilizer fin assembly which folds up onto his back has a joint that can crack and break the whole assembly off—even on brand new figures!. This can be avoided by gluing it in vehicle mode configuration- while it loses functionality it is not detrimental to his robot mode.
This mold was also redecoed into Skyquake and Timelines Megaplex.
