    Who here agrees that there should be a Dreads spin-off film or even short film?

    I DO! :D

    Hell yeah! The Dreads were freakin' awesome! They had some of the best designs in the film, and the Mexican stand off was just bad ass. I wish that at least one of them had survived until the final battle.

    Something that I have seen people say that confuses me. Wasn't Crankcase shot in the face, and Crowbar stabbed in the face? I thought Crankcase was on Sideswipe's right, and Crowbar on Sidswipe's left. And just to make sure, Crankcase is the one with gold on his face right?

    I think it was the other way round, but I am uncertain.

    The Dreads rocked.

    I hope they appear in future series.

    The Dreads were awesome. I really hope we get full-sized toys of the remaining two.

    It was the other way around, I'm certain of it: You can indentify them because Crowbar has longer Dreads [that subsequently don't appear in any close-ups on his face, that's the key] and a more insectoid-like face, a larger jaw, smaller fangs and less threatening that Crankcase's "I'll hunt you down 'till the bottoms of Hell"-esque face, Crowbar's eyes are also smaller and less shiny than Crankcase's, his face is a light-rusted brown [while Crankcase's is darker].

    Crankcase, on his turn, has four bright red yes [that are also very close to each other, while Crowbar's have a certain distance] bigger fangs and an overall slimmer jaw, being more symmetrical than Crowbar, his face is darker, his Dreads can be seen in the close-ups.

    On an unrelated note, Crankcase seems to be the most efficient of the three:

    Hatchet, died quickly after Dino/Mirage's attack, after hitting a car. Didn't stand up a fight.

    Crowbar, leaped too his fiery demise at Ironhide's hands.

    Crankcase, Yes he was effortlessly killed by Ironhide as well, but you can see him Round-house kicking Sideswipe away shortly before that, and it's not just some "lame kick" either, Sideswipe was knocked down to the ground by that kick, that's impressive for a character with five minuts of screen-time.

    Crankcase was also able to remain unscathed after being shot by Ironhide while in vehicle mode, the blast didn't even stratch his goddamn painting, hell, the car didn't even FLINCH after being fired at.

    Lastly, if I well recall, Crankcase was the one that wounded Ironhide, wasn't?

    No...Crankcase wasn't.

    Crowbar was the one that had tossed that spikey bomb thing.Then Ironhide shot him in the face and then used that spikey bomb thing to stab Crankcase in the face....

    YEAH!!!

    The Dreads are definitely my fav from DOTM... considering drawing a backpiece tattoo design of all 3 for myself. Shame they didn't get more screentime.

    Crankcase kicked Sideswipe like a Chuck Norris kicks his...well, everything really.

    Case closed: Crankcase is the best Dread.

    He was caught off-guard, cut him some slack [you can see he was still staring at Sideswipe when he kicked him, when he turned his head around he could only see the spikey bomb thing being inserted on his face].
