Grindor, Oil Slick, and Dirt Rocket were among the first of Broadside's secret recruits among the Mini-Cons. They took a job modifying the trans-hyperwave caster tower for him, warning the Autobots that Cybertron was still uninhabitable in order to keep the planet all to the Mini-Cons. They were discovered by the Dinobot commander Hacksaw during the modifications. They outnumbered him 3-to-1 but, well, he was a Dinobot. Broadside arrived just in time to stop Hacksaw from taking the Dirt Diggers into custody, and their personal duel ended in Hacksaw's death.

  • Dirt Digger Team (Mini-Con Team, 2006)
Released in the second wave of Classics Mini-Con three-packs, the Dirt Digger team is a trio of robots with rip-roaring road-running alt-modes: Dirt Rocket the motorcycle, Grindor the monster truck, and Oil Slick the muscle car. As Mini-Cons, each one has a "Powerlinx" socket that allows them to attach to larger toys that have compatible Powerlinx plugs.
This set of molds was used to make a large number of new characters, but not always together and not in equal amounts of redecoes; see the individual toys' pages for more information on those redecoes.
