:&#039;&#039;Divebomb is a [[Decepticon]] [[Predacon (G1)|Predacon]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Divebomb.jpg|right|300px|thumb|He&#039;s the happiest, most homicidal bird you&#039;ll ever meet.]]&lt;br /&gt;
In the air, with targets arrayed below him like manna strewn from heaven, you won&#039;t find a robot happier than &#039;&#039;&#039;Divebomb&#039;&#039;&#039;. He&#039;s a cheery sort in general, almost always in a good mood, but nothing makes him as downright giddy as a child on Christmas morning as having so many targets to pick and choose from that he doesn&#039;t know where to start destroying. Just about the only thing that ever puts him in a bad mood is having to give up his independence and combine with his teammates, whom he tolerates at best, to form [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]]. In his free time, Divebomb likes to use available scrap to build himself &amp;quot;mechanest&amp;quot; fortresses at the top of the highest available point. These plush private apartments are something of a point of pride for him. &amp;quot;I like to live comfortably,&amp;quot; he explains with a smile.&lt;br /&gt;

{{noteukonly}}&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;[[MYA|Millions of years ago]] on Cybertron, the Decepticon now known as Divebomb was an aerial ace who thrilled in engaging Autobots from the [[Elite Flying Corps]] in mid-air duels to the death. He found a particularly enjoyable opponent in the Autobot named [[Swoop (G1)|Divebomb]] and, after defeating him in combat, &amp;quot;stole&amp;quot; the bombardier&#039;s name and began calling himself Divebomb. The Autobot attempted to reclaim his honor and name in a second battle, but was once again defeated by the new Divebomb, and only survived because [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] intervened on his behalf. Comfortable with his new identity, the Predacon Divebomb continued in his aerial &amp;quot;adventures&amp;quot;. {{storylink|What&#039;s in a Name?}}&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;In 1986, Divebomb and the Predacons were given a twin assignment by the Decepticon leaders on Earth. [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] hired them to come help him hunt down his nemesis, Optimus Prime, and soften him up for the kill. [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]], in turn, had hired them to lead Megatron to his death on the same mission. After a delightful romp through the woods at Prime&#039;s heels, the Predacons turned on Megatron, stealing his fusion cannon and leaving him at Prime&#039;s mercy. Things didn&#039;t work out as planned, and both Optimus and Megatron survived, although a brain-blasting incident with the Cybertronian Decepticon leader [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]] left Megatron with short-term amnesia, unable to remember the Predacons&#039; role in the incident. {{storylink|Prey!}}&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shockwave hired Divebomb and the Predacons &#039;&#039;again, a few months later&#039;&#039; to assassinate Megatron. He had the Predacons install themselves with rotating insignias, in order to disguise themselves as Autobot assassins. While Megatron was able to defeat the Predacons, even in their combined form as [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]], he ended up eliminating himself by blowing up the [[Space Bridge]] while standing on it. (It just goes to show that paranoid, schizophrenic, psychopathic mechanoids with heavy artillery are their own worst enemies.) The Predacons then &amp;quot;moved in&amp;quot; with Shockwave and his warriors on Earth. {{storylink|Gone but Not Forgotten!}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Divebomb, however, quickly grew bored with life on Earth. While he had enjoyed the thrilling hunts against worthy targets like Optimus Prime and Megatron, the simple day-to-day activity of stealing energy and scaring humans wasn&#039;t enough to keep his interest. Divebomb was weighing his personal interests against his duty to remain with his fellow Predacons when he ran into his old sparring partner, the Autobot Divebomb now known as [[Swoop (G1)|Swoop]]. Divebomb was overjoyed at the reunion, and even though their fellow Predacons and Dinobots interrupted the fight, Divebomb&#039;s spirit was fully renewed: his playmate was back! {{storylink|Grudge Match!}}&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Predacons remained active on Earth under Shockwave and [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]]&#039;s command, until [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] absorbed the power of the [[Underbase]] and deactivated them along with several dozen other warriors he was confronted with. {{storylink|Dark Star}}&lt;br /&gt;

{{earthforcefiction}}&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Divebomb was part of Shockwave&#039;s forces on Earth, working at odds with the Autobots and Megatron&#039;s own Decepticons. At the [[Enclave]], Divebomb was hanging out near the buffet table when his fellow moocher, [[Headstrong]], mysteriously disappeared. Not long after that, the entire party broke out into a furious melee.  {{storylink|The Bad Guy&#039;s Ball!}} He was later seen hanging out at Shockwave&#039;s hidden base, and then joined the fight when [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] led the Decepticons into a massive strike on the Autobot Earthbase. {{storylink|Bugged!}} {{storylink|Divide and Conquer!}}&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:G1 Divebomb beast mode.JPG|left|200px|thumb|Divebomb, dropping his load.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Divebomb was created along with the rest of the Predacons in 2006. They were bestowed upon [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] by the [[Quintesson]]s as a gesture of good faith at the start of the Decepticon/Quintesson alliance. Apparently the Quintessons didn&#039;t install any loyalty programming or hidden failsafes in them, though, because while the Quintessons quickly betrayed Galvatron, the Predacons remained under Decepticon command from then on. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the Decepticons hostilely occupied the lost colony world of [[Paradron]], the Predacons came along for mission. One Autobot named [[Sandstorm (G1)|Sandstorm]] was not as easily beaten down as the rest of the planet&#039;s pacifistic population, and had to be jailed. When he escaped, Divebomb performed aerial patrols until he spotted the Paradronian working on an old ship to escape. After radioing in to Galvatron for permission to terminate, Divebomb took the time to enjoy his kill. He swooped up in a wide arc, and then began screaming back down to the surface at terminal velocity, hoping to race his missiles towards the target. While the Predacon was doing all this, however, Sandstorm finished refueling his rocket and took off, narrowly missing the explosion when Divebomb finally fired at him. Poor Divebomb — his showmanship cost him the kill. {{storylink|Fight or Flee}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On what was supposed to be a routine assault on the Autobots, Divebomb and the Predacons got swept up in a Quintesson plot to destroy the Transformers, using a special machine to bring the nightmares of [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]] to life. When a dream dragon carried off [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] and their leader [[Razorclaw (G1)|Razorclaw]], the Predacons entered into an uneasy truce with [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Prime]] and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] to find their comrades in the ever-shifting mist-filled landscape. Divebomb was easily the least recalcitrant of the Predacons, and seemed to have no problem working alongside the Autobots, and even taking suggestions from Rodimus Prime during the occasional fights along the way. In fact, he seemed more concerned with defending his status as &amp;quot;ace of the air&amp;quot; against a fantasy bi-plane than anything else during the conflict. Which really begs the question of how he fell into a void when the Transformers went into an Earth funhouse. {{storylink|Nightmare Planet}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]&#039;s ghost possessed [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] and stole him out from under Galvatron&#039;s feet (literally), Divebomb was among the Decepticon warriors who engaged in pursuit of the thief. A full scale battle took place in the air over Cybertron when Starscream-as-Trypticon stood against the Decepticons while protecting his bargaining partner, [[Unicron]]. Divebomb was blown to smithereens in the melee, but seemed okay a few seconds later. {{storylink|Ghost in the Machine}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Divebomb was also among the Primitives who were summoned to fight [[Tornedron]] by the [[Oracle (G1)|former assistant]] of [[Primacron (G1)|Primacron]]. However, other than taking part in a brawl with the Dinobots and forming Predaking in a last stand attempt, Divebomb proceeded to do nothing of importance during the adventure. Dude looked cool, though. {{storylink|Call of the Primitives}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====&#039;&#039;The Headmasters&#039;&#039; cartoon====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Divebomb and the Predacons were part of Galvatron&#039;s strike force on Cybertron in 2011, seeking to wrest control of [[Vector Sigma]] from the Autobots. Along with the [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]]s and [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]], the Predacons outmaneuvered the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]]s and [[Throttlebot]]s into the bottom of a canyon, and began firing down upon them. {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}} Later, the Predacons traveled to Earth in order to stymie Hot Rod&#039;s attempt to locate the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. Divebomb&#039;s unit found the former Autobot leader in the Arctic, but were held off by [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]], his [[Autobot Mini-Cassette|Mini-Cassette]]s, and [[Superion (G1)|Superion]]. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}} Divebomb and the Predacons were among the Decepticons Galvatron brought with him to the planet [[Beast (planet)|Beast]], although they were absent during the Autobot attack that drove the Decepticons off. {{storylink|Rebellion on Planet Beast}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the Autobots created a new kind of metal on Cybertron called [[Cybertonuron]], Galvatron wanted to claim it for himself. He sent Divebomb and the Predacons to Cybertron as an advance guard to pave the way for his forces. They mowed down Cybertron&#039;s standing guardians and began to wreak havoc on the planet. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 1}} Once the Autobots arrived from Earth, the Predacons were confronted by [[Shōki]] and the [[Trainbot]]s. Their attempts to intimidate the Light-Speed Commander failed utterly, and a fight broke out. Divebomb was left seeing little mecha-birdies after Shōki decked him with a mighty fist. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 1}} Divebomb and the Predacons assembled as Predaking to help [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] and [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] steal the [[Sol 1]] satellite, but they were driven off by [[Raiden]] and the Headmasters. {{storylink|The Shadow Emperor, Scorponok}} Next, Divebomb and the Predacons helped Scorponok stage a crisis to keep the Autobots distracted, by setting off a volcano in [[Peru]]. On-scene to keep the Autobots from rescuing innocent villagers, Divebomb&#039;s group first clashed with the Trainbots before joining forces as Predaking and once again fighting Raiden and the Headmasters. {{storylink|The Dormant Volcano Mysteriously Erupts}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Scorponok began his plan to capture the [[plasma energy]] of Mars by blowing it up, Divebomb and the Predacons stood guard on Mars as the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcon]]s began planting the necessary bombs. When the Trainbots stumbled across the plot, the Predacons started up a firefight to dispose of the meddling Autobots. With Daniel Witwicky and [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] missing, the Trainbots tagged out with the Autobot Headmasters to go looking for them. Razorclaw gave the order and Predaking was formed. Unfortunately, even Predaking was no match for [[Transtector]] power, and he was felled by a quadruple jump kick by the Headmasters. {{storylink|Explosion on Mars!! Maximus Is in Danger}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Divebomb and the Predacons attended Scorponok&#039;s ceremony on the [[Moon (moon)|moon]]. They were scattered by the Autobot attack, but rallied around Galvatron&#039;s late arrival and drove off their heroic opponents. {{storylink|Return of the Immortal Emperor}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Scorponok abandoned Earth in favor of conquering [[Master (planet)|Master]], Divebomb was one of his many troops seen attacking the planet&#039;s fortifications. {{storylink|Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 2)}} He also helped retrofit the [[Zarak Shield]] out of indestructible [[G-Metal]] so that it could stand up to the [[Master Sword]]. {{storylink|The Zarak Shield Turns the Tide}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====&#039;&#039;Zone&#039;&#039; cartoon, comic and story pages====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seeking to create a [[Decepticon Zone]] to counter the [[Micro|Autobot Zone]], [[Emperor of Destruction|Decepticon Emperor]] [[Violen Jiger]] gathered together the Nine Great Demon Generals, upgrading them with powerful new armor and weaponry, then sent them forth to conquer planets. Divebomb was among the selected, but only as a part of Predaking. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)|Zone Part 1}} {{storylink|Fight!

&lt;br /&gt;
===Dreamwave comics continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
Divebomb and the Predacons were warlords on Cybertron at an undisclosed point in the past, before being exiled from their homeworld. Millions of years later, Megatron tracked them down on the planet [[Beast (planet)|Beest]] and reprogrammed the Predacons to serve him, giving them an Awesome and Terrifying (TM) combined mode as Predaking. {{storylink|Welcome to the Jungle}} Divebomb and his partners helped Megatron reassert his dominion over Shockwave and his troops on Cybertron, {{storylink|Lost and Found (issue)|Lost and Found}} and then over Starscream and the crew of the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039; on Earth. {{storylink|The Route of All Evil}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Devil&#039;s Due &#039;&#039;G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers&#039;&#039; comics===&lt;br /&gt;
Divebomb was among [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]&#039;s troops as they waited patiently for [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]]&#039;s force field around [[Teletran 3]] to dissipate. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II issue 2}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shockwave was defeated, however, and the Predacons were driven back to Cybertron&#039;s [[Gladiator Zone]]. When [[Nautilator]] trespassed on their territory, Divebomb and the others attacked him, an attack which soon led to a battle between Predaking and [[Piranacon (G1)|Piranacon]]. The Predacons had just come out on top when both groups were suddenly approached by [[Serpentor|Serpent O.R.]], who claimed to be the son of Megatron. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 2}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Along with the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]] and [[Seacon (G1)|Seacons]], the Predacons joined Serpent O.R.&#039;s new Decepticon army and helped capture some Autobots and [[G.I. Joe (team)|Joes]] that had followed their leader to Cybertron. During a meeting to recruit more fighters to Serpent O.R.&#039;s cause, Divebomb tried to convince [[Hun-Gurrr|Hun-Grrr]] to join them, only for the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcon]] to call him and his Predacon comrades &amp;quot;obsolete tech&amp;quot;. Divebomb responded by gauding Tantrum into attacking Hun-Grrr, but the fight was broken up with the arrival of Serpent O.R. The Predacons later participated in an attack on an Autobot peace ceremony. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 3}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After returning to the Decepticon headquarters, Divebomb had a conversation with Rampage about how the Decepticons&#039; chances were really looking up with Serpent O.R. in command. Unfortunately, the two didn&#039;t notice that the Autobots and humans they had captured earlier had escaped, and they were quickly beaten down. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 4}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===IDW Generation 1 continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
Before the war began, the Predacons, including Divebomb, were respondents to [[Megatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Megatron]]&#039;s open casting call for [[Gladiatorial combat|gladiatorial combatants]]. Divebomb remarked that many heard Megatron&#039;s call and came, to which Rampage expressed contempt at some of the amateurs. The Predacons appeared to change their minds after seeing [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] and the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dynobots]], however. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 3}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:SpotlightBlaster Divebomb.jpg|left|150px|thumb|Hovering, like a....]]&lt;br /&gt;
During the war that followed the Decepticon rebellion, the Predacons hunted down [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] and attempted to kill him and an injured [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]]. After the other three were defeated, Divebomb tracked down the Autobots together with Razorclaw, but was rammed into a wall in a last ditch attack by Tracks. {{storylink|Spotlight: Jazz}} He also participated in the Decepticons&#039; big push against the weakened Autobot positions shortly after the end of the first [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]] cataclysm. {{storylink|Spotlight: Blaster}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Stormbringer4 Decepticonfliers.jpg|right|250px|thumb|&amp;quot;It&#039;s time for kicking butt and [[What&#039;s in a Name?| taking names]]!&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
In the modern era, Divebomb and his fellow Predacons commanded the Decepticon battle cruiser &#039;&#039;[[Thanatos]]&#039;&#039;. Under orders from Megatron, they traveled to Cybertron to ensure Thunderwing never again threatened Decepticon interests. While preparing a planetary carpet-bombing, Razorclaw also dispatched his warriors to provide assistance to [[Optimus Prime (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Optimus Prime]] and the [[Wrecker]]s, in the hopes of defeating the crazed giant without destroying their homeworld. Divebomb personally led a squadron of flyers into battle, including [[Blast Off (G1)|Blast Off]], [[Triggerhappy]], [[Spinister (G1)|Spinister]], and [[Windsweeper]]. Divebomb didn&#039;t have a lot of targets, which is a bummer, but he did get his rematch with Thunderwing, so it all worked out in the end. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 4|Stormbringer #4}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Several years later, four of the five Predacons ended up stranded on [[Earth]], including Divebomb. In order to survive, they became hired guns for [[China]], protecting their borders in exchange for [[energon]]. Led by Rampage, they intervened when a battle between the Autobots (allied with [[Skywatch]]) and the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]] (allied with [[North Korea]]) got too close for comfort. {{storylink|International Incident Part 3: &amp;quot;Hawk Among the Sparrows&amp;quot;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Predacons were willing to leave without a fight, but then [[Onslaught (G1)|Onslaught]] shot Rampage in the back and things got ugly real fast. Divebomb had a dogfight with [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]], who was temporarily siding with the Autobots, but the battle was interrupted by the news of an incoming [[Russia]]n nuclear strike. The Predacons fled back to China, but later stopped serving the humans anyway after Thundercracker destroyed the nation&#039;s energon factories. {{storylink|International Incident Part 4: &amp;quot;All My Sins Remembered&amp;quot;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once the war ended, Divebomb ended up in Autobot captivity on Cybertron. {{storylink|The Autonomy Lesson}} Later, Divebomb was among a Cybertronian crowd recruited by Starscream to pressure Prowl into revealing one of his secret discoveries below ground on Cybertron. Later underground, they witnessed a [[Metrotitan (body-type)|Metrotitan]] declare that Starscream was the Cybertronian destined to unite their whole race. He and the other Cybertronians celebrated afterwards with Starscream. {{storylink|Primus: All Good Things}}&lt;br /&gt;

After the end of the Great War, the Predacons (or those of them surviving) founded the new [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon faction]]. Divebomb, long thought destroyed, contacted [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]], [[Buzzsaw (G1)|Buzzsaw]], and [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] in secret and arranged for them to be rebuilt and join the faction. Though Ravage later left to serve the [[Tripredacus Council]], Laserbeak and Buzzsaw remained loyal to Divebomb. Years later, now in a reformatted technorganic body, Divebomb was seen in communication with his old comrade Razorclaw. {{storylink|Dawn of Future&#039;s Past}}&lt;br /&gt;

: Divebomb transforms into a robotic condor. His two &amp;quot;particle-beam rifles&amp;quot; can plug into holes in his wings. He can form either arm to Predaking, though his nominal placement is as the left arm. His wing-pack detaches to form Predaking&#039;s backpack, though it doesn&#039;t really attach to Razorclaw&#039;s back and will fall off with movement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Early releases of the Predacons had [[die-cast]] metal parts; Divebomb&#039;s was his hips. Later releases replaced these with plastic. In the US, some releases of the Predacons also came with one of four parts to a &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: The Movie]]&#039;&#039; poster with glow-in-the-dark elements.&lt;br /&gt;

His yellow plastic is replaced with gold plastic painted over with gold paint.  His red, black, and orange plastic is also altered to a metal fleck equivalent color.  Some of his label stickers were redesigned, and he now features a cartoon accurate golden face instead of red.  Also included are optional labels for Divebomb&#039;s eyes to make them red in both modes.&lt;br /&gt;
:This version of Divebomb features diecast metal parts.&lt;br /&gt;

==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
* The name-rivalry between Swoop and Divebomb in the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)#Marvel UK|Marvel Generation 1 comic]] has a basis in behind-the-scenes fact, as evidenced by the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Generation 1 cartoon]] [[production bible|series bible]].  In it, a description of the Dinobot was typed with the name &amp;quot;Divebomb&amp;quot;, then crossed out by hand and rewritten &amp;quot;Swoop&amp;quot;.  This was dated 1984, two years before the Predacons would appear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Foreign names===&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;Japanese:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;Divebomb&#039;&#039;&#039; (ダイムボム &#039;&#039;Daimubomu&#039;&#039;)&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&amp;quot;Dive&amp;quot; is usually rendered in katakana as ダイブ &#039;&#039;daibu&#039;&#039;. Interestingly, the name would read &amp;quot;timebomb&amp;quot; if not for the use of a modifier turning &amp;quot;ta&amp;quot; into &amp;quot;da&amp;quot;, so it may be a pun on that word and Divebomb&#039;s original name.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;French:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;Gerfo&#039;&#039;&#039; (Canada)&lt;br /&gt;
