:''Dirt Boss is a [[Constructicon (Animated)|Constructicon]] from the [[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:AnimatedDirtBoss.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Diminutive, ain't he?]]

Created accidentally by the fusion of a forklift, a [[Headmaster (Animated)|Headmaster unit]] and an [[AllSpark#Animated continuity family|AllSpark]] fragment, '''Dirt Boss''' is a little bot with big, big plans. Sick of having been bossed around back when he was nothing more than a simple machine, he's decided that ''he's'' going to be giving the orders from now on!

His nasty attitude might be enough to accomplish this on its own, but he's capable of getting muscle for his jobs very quickly. He can fire a small remote control device from his forehead, tipped with a drill that allows it to bore its way into other machines—Transformers included—giving Dirt Boss direct control of their motor functions. And if he really has to get his servos dirty, his stumpy little legs are actually quite capable of delivering a brutal roundhouse. Now he's taken command of the other [[Constructicon (Animated)|Constructicon]]s and is going to make sure [[Detroit]] knows who's boss!

[[Isaac Sumdac (Animated)|Isaac Sumdac]] and [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]] were using the forklift that would become Dirt Boss in their [[space bridge]] recreation project at [[Sumdac Tower]], but Bulkhead's natural clumsiness sent the forklift, the recently recaptured Headmaster unit, and three Allspark fragments plummeting several floors. While Isaac went to sleep off his scare and Bulkhead went to get help with reinforcing the tower's structural support for the new space bridge, the fallen objects fused together.

[[Image:Imgdirtboss-animated.jpg|left|thumb|I gotta deal you can't-a refuse, icehole!]]

By the time Bulkhead returned with [[Mixmaster (Animated)|Mixmaster]] and [[Scrapper (Animated)|Scrapper]], who were beginning to come around to the idea of becoming [[Autobot]]s, Dirt Boss had come to life. Pulled up by Scrapper, the tiny terror immediately used his motor-control power on Scrapper to make him hit himself repeatedly. The three far larger robots were quickly cowed into submission, and Dirt Boss revealed his plan to hijack oil shipments to increase his power base in the city...a plan with which the two Constructicons quickly got on board.

Leading the two on an overnight crime spree (and occasionally beating the Constructicons for drinking the profits), he revealed his plan to torch the [[Fossil Fuel]] plant, forcing the city to come to him for oil. Bulkhead attempted to stop them before they left, but that didn't go too well. Bulkhead was dragged to the fuel plant, and eventually Dirt Boss used his motor-control on him, intending him to start a fire that would destroy the plant (sacrificing the bound Mixmaster in the process). The rest of the Autobots arrived, but a stray spark set the spilled oil ablaze anyway. Dirt Boss took control of Mixmaster and Scrapper, who had become stuck together in the fight, and rode them to the top of the oil tower. Fortunately, Sumdac had followed them, carrying the [[plasma dynamic thruster]] from their space bridge. Bulkhead reprogrammed the device and transported the oil tanker—and the three Constructicons—to just offshore of [[Dinobot Island (Animated)|Dinobot Island]] just before it exploded. {{storylink|Three's a Crowd}}

After the blast, Scrapper made it to Dinobot Island and lived there for a few weeks, unsure of what fate had befallen Dirt Boss and Mixmaster. {{storylink|Human Error, Part II}} ''After the Autobots captured the Decepticons and returned to Cybertron, however, it was revealed that the other two Constructicons had also survived, though where they had been wasn't explained. Hooking back up with Scrapper, Dirt Boss put his two subordinates to work on his newest construction project: building something called "[[Devastator (Animated)|Devastator]]"...'' {{storylink|Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II|The AllSpark Almanac II}}

==Notes==
* Well, it took a while, but anime fans can at last point to an honest-to-gosh reference to the anime ''[[wikipedia:Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' in ''Animated'': As confirmed by [[Derrick J. Wyatt]] over his Twitter feed, Dirt Boss is designed in homage to the small Lagann mecha from the show.
* Despite having just been created, Dirt Boss manages to have a Decepticon insignia without [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]]'s influence.
* Dirt Boss can fire shells from his forehead to control other robots? [[Bombshell (G1)|Sounds familiar...]]
