	: [[Activators]] Dirge transforms into a futuristic, forward-swept wing fighter jet based upon the [http://www.airforce-technology.com/projects/s37/ Su-47 (S-37) Berkut Experimental Fighter] and the [http://macross2.net/m3/macrossplus/yf-19.htm YF-19 "Alpha One"] from the series, ''{{w\|Macross Plus}}''. Like all Activators, he has a [[Flipchanger\|partial, spring-loaded transformation]] from vehicle to robot mode. Activators [[Starscream (Animated)#activator\|Starscream]] is a [[redeco]] of him, not the other way around! This [[mold]] is Dirge's and nobody else's!		: Part of the fifth wave of Hasbro's ''[[Transformers Animated (toyline)\|Animated]]'' [[Activators]], Dirge transforms into a futuristic, forward-swept wing fighter jet based upon the [http://www.airforce-technology.com/projects/s37/ Su-47 (S-37) Berkut Experimental Fighter] and the [http://macross2.net/m3/macrossplus/yf-19.htm YF-19 "Alpha One"] from the series, ''{{w\|Macross Plus}}''. Like all Activators, he has a [[Flipchanger\|partial, spring-loaded transformation]] from vehicle to robot mode, though you need to flip around his arm-mounted guns manually to complete the conversion. Activators [[Starscream (Animated)#activator\|Starscream]] is a [[redeco]] of him, not the other way around! This [[mold]] is Dirge's and nobody else's!

	:~~This mold was also used to make [[Thundercracker (Animated)#Animated\|Thundercracker]], [[Skywarp (Animated)#Activator\|Skywarp]],~~ and [[~~Ramjet~~ (Animated)#~~Activator~~\|~~Ramjet~~]]~~. How dare~~ they ~~try~~ to ~~take what rightfully is ''not'' theirs!~~		: Dirge and his wave-mate [[Cliffjumper (Animated)#Toys\|Cliffjumper]] saw widespread release in European markets well before they made it to US stores in decent numbers, leading to a certain amount of fan-panic over their potential cancellation.

	:~~Part of~~ the ~~fifth~~ wave of ''[[Transformers Animated (toyline)\|Animated]]~~'' Activators~~ (~~along~~ with ~~[[Cliffjumper (Animated)\|Cliffjumper]])~~, ~~both bots saw widespread release~~ in ~~European markets~~ well ~~before~~ they ~~made it to~~ US ~~stores~~ in ~~decent numbers~~, ~~leading to a certain amount of fan~~-~~panic over their potential cancellation~~.		: He was released in Japan by [[TakaraTomy]] in 2010, inexplicably in the first wave their ''Animated'' [[Transformers Animated (toyline)#TakaraTomy Animated toyline\|''Animated'' toyline]] (their releases tend to coincide with when characters premiere in the cartoon, and even though Dirge wasn't in the cartoon, the Starscream clones as a group don't show up until well into it). While most of Takara's ''Animated'' toys ended up with varying amounts of metallic-paint oversprays, this was not a thing they did the the Activators in the line. Which leaves the main difference between this toy and the US release the one that he shares with every other toy in the line: he now features full-color, white-outlined faction symbols rather than the Hasbro version's plain-black ones.

	:~~The~~ [[~~TakaraTomy~~]] ~~version~~ (~~also the first release of the~~ Activator ~~Starscream mold in Japan) replaces his black Decepticon~~ [[~~insignia~~]]~~s with full-color, white-bordered purple Decepticon insignias~~.		: This mold was also used to make [[Thundercracker (Animated)#Toys\|Thundercracker]], [[Skywarp (Animated)#Activator\|Skywarp]], and [[Ramjet (Animated)#Toys\|Ramjet]]. How dare they try to take what rightfully is ''not'' theirs!
