'''Divebomb''' is a [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcon]] in the [[Energon (franchise)|Energon]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]]. Divebomb has no glaring weaknesses, although his desire to retreat when things get ugly is not a characteristic highly valued by his field commander Scorponok (he REALLY should). More than any other Terrorcon, he has better sense of when to pull his troupes before they get toasted.A driven and fierce warrior,He is armed with Razor-sharp Energon blades that combine into a giant boomerang-type weapon.He transforms into a robotic hawk with VTOL turbines in its wings.
''Japanese'' Superlink name: '''Shadow Hawk'''

'''Animated Continuity'''
Like the other Terrorcons, Divebomb was not an individual entity, but an army of drones which formerly existed as the inhabitants of the doomed Planet Q, consumed by Unicron and recreated from him by the planet's deranged ruler, Alpha Q using the power of Energon. Possessed of no true intelligent thought and only very rarely transforming into robot mode, the Divebomb swarms are fragile, exploding under minimal artillery fire, but will swarm over their objective like insects, usually managing to tear down opposition through sheer numbers. The Divebomb Terrorcons were often seen carrying the Battle Ravage and Cruellock drones to their targets during battle.

'''Dreamwave comics'''

Divebomb would first appear in Energon #19, as part of a group meeting of the Terrorcons gatecrashed by Starscream, who was promptly disposed of by Scorponok. Divebomb had a different background here - he was a renegade Decepticon unhappy with the peace that had come over Cybertron since the defeat of Unicron ten years previously. Divebomb and the other Terrorcons were enhanced by Unicron in return for finding him energon. The Terrorcons headed to Earth to plunder its energon but were beaten back by its Autobot defenders. Frustrated, Unicron teleported them away and sent them back with a new trick - the ability to mass-produce clones of themselves . Divebomb would attack Toronto only to be beaten back by an unexpected foe - Megatron, who decimated Divebomb's clones and forced him to retreat.

'''Pack in comics'''
n the second Transformers: Energon pack in comic Prowl, Inferno and Landmine discover some hills on Earth that are rich with energon and call in to Optimus Prime that they should put an energon tower up. Optimus warns the Autobots that Decepticon activity has been detected in their proximity. Megatron attacks with a horde of Divebomb Terrorcon clones. The Autobots attempt by fight back by having Prowl and Inferno Powerlinx while Landmine goes into brute mode, but they are overwhelmed when Insecticon Terrorcon hordes join in the attack. The Autobots retreat and Megatron takes the energon for himself.
