Dreadwind was a Cybertronian and one of Blackout's soldiers. He and his brother Darkwing served as Blackout's guards during his trip to Dragku. Much much later, he was on the bridge of Darkmount during the Makuta attack on the Shadow Proclamation. Much much later, he and his brother joined Starscream in his failed attempt to overthrow Blackout. He appeared out of a portal along with Thundercracker, Skywarp, Dirge, Thrust, Ramjet and Darkwing and then was completely forgotten.
