By way of this eBay auction we have some more images of the upcoming IDW Generations Dreadwing test shot. A remold of the deluxe IDW stealth bomber Megatron, Dreadwing sports an all-new head sculpt. These images also give us a bit more of a feel of what is in store with this mold in both its known incarnations – check out the images attached to this post.

haha. Oh man, just watched that on Youtube again for probably the first time since it was released. I mean transformers could use more rap these days right?

I think I might pick this up after Megatron. Then I'll buy one more of both and give the second Dreadwing the Megatron head so he can be Megaplex.

too bad he doesn't triple change. they could bring back the G2 commercial.
Rewind
This is easily my most anticipated mold from the wave with Pax, Bee and Trailmeister. Looks compact and slim in alt mode and delightfully kibble-free in bot mode. I'll gladly pick up both Megs and Dreadwing. As for the G2 mold, I have the Gigant Bomb version and he is indeed lovely. He can co-exist quite peacefully and happily with the new one.

Looks alright. Not amazing though. I'll probably wait for these to hit the shops rather then import.

What? somoene who is generally displeased can't speak up about how they feel how bad something is, especially given how the original toy(s) were much better looking? Lets face it this "new"dread wing is bunk. G1/2 toys aside this thing is too damn small given what the vehicle is supposed to be. so shut up and let people have their opinions
Valkysas
Yeah, the old one still holds up fine.
If people don't like this one, they can stick the awesome G2 toy in with their classics. He fits in just fine.
General Tekno
Well, I understand why people are upset about size.
The original Dreadwing mold is pretty beefy and still holds up really well to this day – he was among those with actual posability.
But on the other hand… We're getting a NEW G2 DREADWING. That has to count for something.

Three things here…
G1 Dreadwing isn't even supposed to be this character, may as well throw the Prime, minicon and Energon Dreadwing in there too, seeing as they share the name.
Why is it simple looking? If you ask me the design is anything but simple, not even going into why something being simple isn't a proper complaint.
And finally, how do you know it's too small? I can understand wanting it to be a Voyager but there aren't any size comparisons here.
And to all these people saying " this isn't good as Megatron"… Why? See, here I thought that, seeing as Megs sported this look in IDW for 3 years, it was a pretty good Megatron. I just don't get why people are making these broad statements without explaining them.
motorthing
Not a fan. Too small and I'm not feeling it as either Megs or this guy. Well I guess they can't all be home-runs
OptionZero
G2 Dreadwing came out about two decades ago, G1 Dreadwing came out three decades ago.
This is worse than both.
It's too small and simple looking.
Dinobot Snarl
Generations Ratbat is such a better Wing! lol but I'll get this one too
YoungPrime
Yet to the repaint but no to Megatron. This mold is way to small for him but for Dreadwing it's cool.
Lazerwave
I guess I'll turn down the IDW Megatron and get this one.
Ezilla82
It looks like we're on the same page…awesome.
agentSAP2006
Agreed!
SG Roadbuster
I kinda hope he's getting a new accessory. kinda like how the FOC Wreckers are. just doesn't feel like g2 Dreadwing to me without a massive 6 barreled gatling gun.
secondly, I hope at some point we do get a Smokescreen/Jumper/Sniper to pair with him (deluxe or legends is fine with me so long as it happens) . and that the the duo get many merry redecoes like BB and Starscream or the RID deco
Starscream Gaga
…did you read that post before posting it? Like, I'm honestly curious to know if you thought that sounded like a mature and well thought out statement.
unicronic
Are there any size comparisons available for this guy with popular generations deluxes?
Bumblethumper
Dreadwing looks adorable in those colours.
The figure itself is alright, if nothing more. It's certainly a comedown from the original toy.
