Legacy Evolution Leader Prime Dreadwing First Look

AnonymousDwell

With every increasingly awesome Dreadwing release from other continuities like this one, we get one tiny step closer to my pipe dream of a fully gimmick-complete two-bot-inclusive G2 Dreadwing (or a third party making one for weirdos like me who want one.)  

I would love G2 Dreadwing and all of his repaints.

Seeing the figure in that blue and gold deco got me thinking, with a bit of retooling, I think this'd make an alright Nominus. A new head, chest, cockpit, and pauldrons with a bit of retooling on the legs and the big thrusters as the accessories. I think it'd look pretty good, if a bit oversized for the character (but I'd say A Nominus is better than NO Nominus).

Anyone have an image of this guy with the alternate chest transformation?

Sold out on Hasbro Pulse already.

Legacy Dreadwing is great. He feels much better than Skyquake. I also prefer the character over his brother. He’s one of my favourite cons from TFP and I can’t believe I have one for CHUG.
After watching several videos on how to correctly transform the torso, I can say this mold is probably one of my favorites this year. I love the dark blue with the gold. It’s also neat be as the cannon. Was expecting some bombs but nothing DNA can’t make. Overall a nice leader to end Evo.

It’s a straight recolor, right? Just wondering, not complaining. Definitely adding it to my collection. Having the set will look nice.

…August 24th I believe is the US preorder date 🙁

Yeah, there's that and I believe that version of Skyquake commands the Predator faction. Which I'd like to guess was one of the main reasons they allowed the "Needlenose" mold to be able to connect to him in alt mold. So the Needlenose mold will eventually become at least 1 of the Predator figures sometime next year as well.

Yess, I was thinking that too! Needlenose resembles Snare quite a bit in vehicle mode, he’d be at least one of the characters. Earthrise Doubledealer (and possibly the upcoming Soundwave from next year, if he’s his Machine Wars version) seems 99.9% likely to be Stalker too – You can tell, as Doubledealer has accessories which he never originally came with, but Stalker / MW Soundwave did, so it’s only a matter of time.

Fair enough.
I don't follow TF PRIME that much so maybe I thought the 2 brothers faces were slightly different in previous pictures so I based part of my opinion on that. And with all the potential speculation this mold has received with other characters, I personally wanted some of them to be a little more distinctive perhaps. But it's fine either way…

So public apologies to @Q Prime and anyone else that might've been offended by my previous comments. My response was truly uncalled for and should've been handled better. That being said, I hope we all end up enjoying this figure and any other retools to follow.  

I realise this is a little late, what with you already having Skyquake, but for me who, like you wants ‘G1-ified’ versions of characters from other continuities, I’ve held off on buying the initial Skyquake but will pick up this Dreadwing (who in my opinion has a superior colour scheme to Legacy Skyquake) and then pick up the inevitable G1 version of this Skyquake mold, which will likely be a store exclusive.

He’ll hopefully have his fully G1 head alongside his Euro G1 colour scheme, and I’ll have Dreadwing be G1 Skyquake’s brother instead. This way with the (in theory) new head they’ll look that bit more different, they’ll both stand out against each other a lot more then.
