	Dirt Rocket and his Dirt Digger Team buddies were Mini-Cons created on Cybertron after the war with [[Unicron]], by the power of the [[Last Autobot]]. Their purpose was to revitalize the planet for the [[Autobot]]s' eventual return. Only problem was, not every Mini-Con liked the idea of cleaning house for someone else, only to get swept aside when the "adults" came home. A charismatic Mini-Con named [[Broadside (Classics)\|Broadside]] began gathering like-minded Transformers to his cause — to prevent the Autobots from taking the planet from them — and Dirt Rocket and the Dirt Diggers signed up. Before the assassination "accident" that killed [[Modus Prime]], Dirt Rocket was seen at [[Maccadam's Old Oil House]] conspiring with Broadside, [[Sledge (Classics)\|Sledge]], and [[Wideload (Classics)\|Wideload]]. He and his Dirt Digger teammates were responsible for the next stage of the plan — modifying the [[trans-hyperwave caster tower]]. Normally, this tower sent out an "all clear" signal into space, inviting the Autobots to return to Cybertron. Broadside wanted it changed to a "quarantine" signal, warning off the Autobots from returning at all. Dirt Rocket and [[Oil Slick (Classics)\|Oil Slick]] were caught in the act by Modus Prime's successor, the [[Dinobot (Classics)\|Dinobot]] commander [[Hacksaw]]. The duo and [[Grindor (Classics)\|Grindor]] tried to fight him off, but 3 against 1 are easy odds for a Dinobot. The Dirt Diggers were saved by the arrival of Broadside, who fought Hacksaw over a ledge and sent him to his death. Unfortunately, the battle had damaged the equipment so badly that the quarantine signal couldn't be sent. Needing an explanation for Hacksaw's death, Broadside commanded Dirt Rocket and the others to flee so that he could paint them as unidentified assassins and saboteurs to the public. They only agreed because the other option was being highly identified corpses, killed while escaping justice. {{storylink\|The New World}}		Dirt Rocket and his Dirt Digger Team buddies were Mini-Cons created on Cybertron after the war with [[Unicron]], by the power of the [[Last Autobot]].
