- Dreadwing is a Decepticon-allied Mini-Con from the Generation 1 and Unicron Trilogy continuity families.
Dreadwing is the leader of the Predator 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]

Fiction
Classics
Dreadwing and the Predator Attack Team joined Broadside in annihilating what may have been the last of the Cybertronian Mutants. In the battle, Dreadwing tore Meathook's head clear off his body. While the others began celebrating their victory over the three mutants, Dreadwing remained silent. Eventually his keen senses locked onto a fourth mutant hiding in the shadows, and launched himself in that direction. A blood-curdling scream was the only sign that the Mini-Con had indeed hit his mark. The New World

Classics
- Predator Attack Team (Mini-Con Team, 2007)
- Part of the second wave of Classics Mini-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 teammates Overbite and Snarl.
- This mold served as the model for the non-toy beast form of Stiletto and was used to make Wedge Shape, Shattered Glass Divebomb, and Universe Longview.
