Dreadwing and Smokescreen were quite the force to be reckoned with in the Japanese G2 comic. Powerful enough to bring Optimus Prime to his knees, they were also one of the most advanced Transformers ever created. Almost completely posable, they were definitely one of the shining stars of their generation of toys.
I have a particular like for the Smokescreen figure. It is strange, however, that he has no tech spec. Heck, he isn't even listed on the box. His transformation was later aped for Energon Starscream (and the inevitable repaint, Energon Energon Starscream. Don't ask)
