Honorable Right-Hand

**Dreadwing** is a major antagonist in the second season of the 2010 animated series, *Transformers: Prime*. He is a Decepticon whose loyalty earns Megatron enough respect to become his new second-in-command after the betrayal of Airachnid and Starscream. He is also the brother of Skyquake, who seeks revenge against the Autobots for slaying him.

He was voiced by Tony Todd.

## What Makes Him Magnificent?

* Unlike most Decepticons in the series, Dreadwing is defined by a code of genuine affability and honour. No matter what, he will always be willing to keep his word or make his gratitude towards people who save his life, even towards enemies, that he spares Optimus once. The reason he abandons the Decepticons is because he saw how dishonourable they truly were and left in disgust.
* In his debut uses Bulkhead as bait to lure Wheeljack and Optimus, planting an explosive on Bulkhead to bait them both into removing it to which he sets up the explosives around him, placing them on a trap that nearly kills them all. This made him the only villain in the entire series that is not Megatron, the series' Big Bad, or Unicron, the series' Greater-Scope Villain, to pose a credible threat to the fabled Optimus Prime himself.
* Unlike Breakdown, Dreadwing doesn't fall for Airachnid's provocative words, even trying to steer Breakdow away from foolishly attempting to attack her when trapped before setting himself free.
* His loyalty to Megatron was so genuine, even when Megatron ordered him to stand-down, he refuses out of genuine concern for his leader, and uses this to get the drop on the Autobots to secure Megatron's safety. This gave Megatron enough respect to promote Dreadwing to become his new lieutenant.
	+ Even when getting the drop on the AUtobots when the have Megatron at their mercy, he was actually willing to elt them go upo Megatron's release, adding more to his honour.
* Tracks down Optimus and Starscream to find the Apex Armour in the Arctic.
* When Starscream dons the armour to try kill him and Optimus, Dreadwing agrees to partner up with Optimus to set up a trap underneath Starscream's feet using his explosives to sink him to the depths of the ocean.
* When finding out Starscream desecrate his brother's corpse and turned him into a mindless zombie that can only wander across the Shadowzone and Megatron reintroduced him back to the Decepticons inspite of this, Dreadwing turns on the Decepticons and underneath everyone's noses, steals the Forge of Solus Prime and hands them over to the Autobots to give them an advantage, having been willing to give them the Omega Keys as well if the security wasn't too tight.
* Has Starscream completely dead for rights when confronting him and nearly succeeds in killing him and giving him karma for all the vile deeds he did.

## What Makes Him a Baddie?

* Had killed the Autobot Seaspray on his journey to Earth.
* Is an evil Decepticon that routinely attempts to kill the Autobots that face him, from Optimus Prime to Wheeljack to Bulkhead.
* Is helping Megatron on his ambitions for destructive conquests.
