shoutouts to TFP for subverting the expectations of a huge tough guy character by making them actually very genuine and caring not once,

not twice

not three times

but at LEAST four times

thats dedication to make your characters more complex than whatever trope box they check upon first glance

Dreadwing and the Wreckers

// a rambling by yours truly.

So we know that in Dreadwing's introduction episode ("Loose Cannons"), Wheeljack and Seaspray were Wreckers set to rendezvous in order to try and regroup after the unit splintered. We also know that Dreadwing intercepted their comms, beat Wheeljack there, and set up a proximity bomb to try and eliminate them both. Now, Jackie never had any radio contact with Dreads, but he recognized the bomb the second he saw it and knew who it belonged to.

So, they had met.

Fast forward to the Jackhammer shooting the Sky Claw down on earth. The whole episode ends with the Autobots in a port somewhere, trying to save Bulkhead from the bomb Dreadwing planted on him.

But, wait. How did we get there?

I think our favorite blue and gold Seeker has a deeper relationship with the Wreckers than what was let on.

He knew who Wheeljack and Seaspray were by name. At LEAST he knew Jackie on sight -- after being shot down and subsequently escaping, Dreadwing calls Jackie, on the Jackhammer's frequency, by name, to challenge him.

Wheeljack and Bulkhead both respond. Because Wreckers don't call for backup, they call for cleanup.

They go, and split up. Wheeljack confronts Dreads head on while Bulk, unbeknownst to the viewers, has circled around the back. The Seeker seems to have second thought and runs, ending up in a dead end.

This is one of the things I like about Dreadwing: he's a planner. And he is, tactically, extremely good at it. He failed at every assignment in the show, it is true, but his methods were VERY clearly well-thought out and planned.

In this particular case, he set up his bombs before they ever even got there. He knew where he wanted Wheeljack to end up, and how to get him there, but here's the kicker:

He knew Bulkhead would show up. And that was more important to his end goal.

Dreadwing had a bomb set high, on its own, near the ledge above where Bulkhead ended up standing, thinking they had the 'Con surrounded. There's no reason for Dreads to do this unless he knew without a doubt Bulk would be there (remember earlier in the episode, when the gas station blew and our Seeker made his getaway, Bulk was there. Dreadwing saw him, and knew who he was.)

So he knew that Jackie would come at him from the front, and Bulkhead would sneak behind, and he planned for it. His ultimate goal wasn't to destroy the two of them, though -- he wanted Optimus, and as many of Team Prime as he could get in one location to try and eliminate them all in revenge for Skyquake's death.

So he buried the two Wreckers, dug Bulkhead out, and drug his ass to the port, where he set up his second trap. He knew WHO Wheeljack and Bulkhead were and could plan based on what he obviously knew about how the Wrecker unit worked.

So I don't think Seaspray was Dreadwing's first Wrecker kill. Not by a long shot. I think he was the hyena that skulked in the shadows, nipping at their heels. But he didn't come at them all willy-nilly, he knew he'd get obliterated if he did, so he was a patient predator. Much like a lion, he went after them when they had split up, only targeting one, maybe two, at a time.

I think this bastard has more than the average kill count and a chunk of them were Wreckers.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

I personally think Dreadwing would be a fan of Clair De Lune.

You know which TFP bot needs a REALLY good fuck?

Dreadwing.

The man probably hasn't wanked nor banged in ages. It's difficult for him, especially when no one gives him the proper care or attention in the berthroom.

You, though? A tiny, puny human?

Once the two of you form a connection, he's like putty in your hands. Give him the biggest, most affectionate sloppy-toppy ever and he rumbles and melts.

It's not only about the effort, it's about the intimacy.

Respect him. Show him that you care about him. And he will return the love tenfold.

I'm talking about whispers of praise, about body worship, his deft claws working so sweetly against your soft body, and his spike thrusting just right inside you, slowly and passionately.

Dreadwing holds you close, and he doesn't wish to release you until the morning arrives.

Little tfRB AU idea that came to me yesterday for no reason:

I think I've seen this somewhere before, but what if Dreadwing was sent to Griffin Rock to hide him from Megatron if he ever left the Decepticons to become an Autobot after too many strikes from Megatron?

This would prolly happen somewhere around the time he tries killing Starscream but instead of Megatron killing him he manages to escape the Nemesis in time and seek help from the Autobots.

Optimus is sympathetic to this and gives him a chance to prove himself at Griffin rock.

The Rescue Bots aren't fully on board with the idea of some ex-con joining them but with some help from Cody he manages to integrate into the team and he decides to stay on Griffin Rock with the rest of the rescue team despite Prime insisting he could join them on the mainland.

He needs a little break from the war.

Sorry if this has been done before I'm mostly just throwing ideas here lol.

Idea de un AU de tfRB que me vino ayer por ninguna razón aparente:

Creo que eh visto esto en algo así en algún

lugar antes ¿Pero, que tal si hubieran mandado a Dreadwing a Griffin Rock para esconderlo de Megatron al dejar de ser Decepticon para unirse a los Autobots despues de demaciados errores de parte de Megatron?

Esto probablemente pasaría más o menos por la parte donde Dreadwing intenta matar a Starscream, pero en vez de que lo mate Megatron él logra escapar de la Nemesis a tiempo para pedirle ayuda a los Autobots.

Optimus decide simpatizar con él y darle una oportunidad de probarse a si mismo.

Los Rescue Bots no les gusta mucho la idea de tener a un ex-Decepticon metiendose a su equipo pero con un poco de ayuda de Cody se logra integrar al equipo y decide quedarse en Griffin Rock con el resto del equipo derescate aunque Prime insiste que puede unirse a él en el equipo de Jasper.

Necesita un pequeño descanso de la guerra.

Perdón si esto se ha hecho antes yo sólo estoy tirando ideas aquí lol.

It is time for me to honor the employe of this month. The honor goes to my second in command, Dreadwing.

[theamazingmrcat]

So when I got this figure in the mail today, seeing him in his original packaging transported me back in time to when I was just a kid in 2007, looking at the toy aisle filled with all the new movie toys and feeling excited and full of hope. It was a wonderful feeling, where, for a brief moment, there was no Trump, no medical bills, and no stress. There was just me walking down the toy aisle after watching Saturday morning cartoons, excited about the figure I found
