'''Dirge''' ''wishes'' he was a master of fear but he simply hasn't got the brains or courage to pull it off. Give him an Autobot with its back to him and he's a dangerous, heavily armed braggart, but they just won't oblige. He has grand plans of sowing terror throughout the [[Autobot]]/[[human]] alliance, of killing great war heroes in front of a terrified public, but it doesn't take much to send Dirge running for the hills, scared for his life.

===''Revenge of the Fallen'' toy bios===
Dirge decided to hide out amongst the jets of [[NEST]], thinking it the perfect place to start a campaign of terror. Probably not the smartest call he's ever made. A simple screw-up revealed himself, and now the Decepticon is constantly on the run from the [[Autobot]]s [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] and [[Armorhide (Movie)|Armorhide]]. He fears for his life, knowing they can't get him in the sky, but he must touchdown onto the ground to refuel, and they'll be waiting for him there.

Dirge was [[Tankor (ROTF)|Tankor's]] reinforcements, intended to take out any of the Autobots that turned up at the tank's siege. To Dirge's surprise and joy, ''[[Springer (ROTF)|Springer]]'' had turned: he could now bag a genuine war hero! The Decepticon did well when he just had to swoop down and make a surprise attack, but the Autobot [[Jolt (ROTF)|Jolt]] got Dirge wounded by friendly fire. This one wound caused the big coward to fly off, leaving Tankor behind. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.12|Rules of Engagement}}

*'''Dirge''' (Deluxe Class, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-22'''
**''Accessories'': 2 missiles, 2 missile launchers

:Dirge is a new-mold Deluxe Class toy that converts from a blue and gold cross between a [[Wikipedia:Harrier Jump Jet|Harrier]] and a [[Wikipedia:McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II|F-4]]-like fighter-bomber jet into a blue, black, and gold robot. He has two spring-loaded missile launchers that mount under his wings or, in robot mode, onto his arms, though his left arm's [[kibble]] makes this an awkward fit. Dirge's [[Mech Alive]] gimmick is spinning nipples on his chest when you lift his arms.

:His design is based heavily on the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|original]] [[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]]. Compared to the original, however, Dirge transforms very differently, consisting of an asymmetric torso and arm design, requiring most of Dirge's visual elements to be vestigial, such as the [[conehead]] and the small canopy (pseudo[[kibble]]) window on his chest.

:Dirge was shipped in two very similar shades of blue, with one lighter than the other. A rare run of this figure lacks paint applications in his face, featuring a completely black visage.

:He was later redecoed into [[Jetblade]].
