Darkwing

Darkwing is a Decepticon Transformer who debuted during Marvel's original Transformers run. He is a Powermasters jet who combines with fellow Decepticon Dreadwind, their two jet modes locking together to form a larger, more powerful aircraft.

Darkwing roared onto the scene in 1988's The Transformers #42, a Copper Age creation brought to life by the legendary Bob Budiansky alongside artists José Delbo and Dave Hunt — right in the thick of Marvel's celebrated Transformers run. Sharing pages with titans like Optimus Prime, Megatron, Starscream, and Grimlock tells you everything about the high-stakes world this character inhabits. With a presence stretching across nearly four decades — from that Marvel debut through Regeneration One and beyond — Darkwing has proven to be a figure with real staying power in the Transformers mythos, the kind of character that rewards devoted collectors who dig deeper than the headliners.
