	One of the most common forms of Terrorcon, the Divebombs were created by [[Alpha Quintesson]] to gather raw energon. Like [[Omnicon]]s, they could handle the unrefined ore without injury, and convert it into a quasi-stable form for transport. Along with [[Battle Ravage]]s for aerial support, the Divebombs were tasked with recovering as much energon as possible, so that Alpha Q could revitalize [[Unicron]] and use his power to recreate Planet Q and the other lost worlds the Planet-Eater ravaged. {{storylink\|Cybertron City (episode)\|Cybertron City}} {{storylink\|Alpha Q: Identity}}		One of the most common forms of Terrorcon, the Divebombs were created by [[Alpha Quintesson]] to gather raw energon.

	Divebombs first attacked Cybertronian forces at Asteroid City and Mars City, where they overwhelmed [[Tidal Wave (Armada)\|Tidal Wave]] and the meager defenses assembled by the pacifistic Omnicons. While a small group transported their prisoner Tidal Wave back to Alpha Q, the rest of the Terrorcons proceeded on to Earth, making their first strike at Ocean City. The Autobot defenses on Earth were much stronger and, after reinforcements arrived from Cybertron, the Terrorcons were all destroyed or driven off. {{storylink\|Cybertron City (episode)\|Cybertron City}} Back in space, the Divebombs assaulted Lunar City, and despite suffering heavy losses successfully made off with a sizable quantity of energon. {{storylink\|Energon Stars}}		Divebombs first attacked Cybertronian forces at Asteroid City and Mars City, where they overwhelmed [[Tidal Wave (Armada)\|Tidal Wave]] and the meager defenses assembled by the pacifistic Omnicons.

	Back at Unicron, the Terrorcons carrying Tidal Wave delivered him to [[Scorponok (Energon)\|Scorponok]], the new Terrorcon general constructed by Alpha Q. Scorponok manipulated Tidal Wave into fighting by their side, and another attack was launched on Earth, this time at Desert City. {{storylink\|Scorpinok (episode)\|Scorpinok}} Terrorcon attacks continued to retrieve energon for Alpha Q, on Mars and on Earth under the command of Scorponok and his ever increasing number of Decepticon allies. {{storylink\|Megatron's Sword}}		Back at Unicron, the Terrorcons carrying Tidal Wave delivered him to [[Scorponok (Energon)\|Scorponok]], the new Terrorcon general constructed by Alpha Q.

	The Terrorcons next attempted to beat the Autobots to a new source of energon in some snowy mountains, but failed to stop [[Kicker Jones\|Kicker]] and [[Strongarm (Energon)\|Strongarm]] from setting off a beacon to Cybertron. [[Brian Jones\|Doctor Jones]] then dropped an entire new energon mining city on top of the Terrorcons, squashing a large number beneath its weight. {{storylink\|The New Cybertron City}}		The Terrorcons next attempted to beat the Autobots to a new source of energon in some snowy mountains, but failed to stop [[Kicker Jones\|Kicker]] and [[Strongarm (Energon)\|Strongarm]] from setting off a beacon to Cybertron.

	Alpha Q and Scorponok began to lose more and more Terrorcons with each raid, as the Autobots learned from each encounter and fortified their defenses. Events took a drastic turn when [[Megatron (Armada)/Cartoon continuity\|Megatron]] awakened inside Unicron. He quickly overpowered Scorponok and used his newfound connection with Unicron to assumed control over the Terrorcons being generated inside the entity. Alpha Q was forced to flee with Unicron's head, leaving the rest of Unicron and control of the majority of Terrorcons to Megatron. {{storylink\|Megatron Resurrected}} As Megatron learned to control the Terrorcons, they provided him with an energon star, much like the Omnicons used to enhance the Autobots.

	Alpha Q then tried a different tactic by sending the stealth-capable [[Command Ravage]]s and [[Shadowhawk Desert Type]] drones to [[Jungle City]], hoping they could recover a large supply of energon before the Autobots or the Decepticons even noticed. The plan failed, as all three sides began fighting over the energon mine, including a second group of Terrorcons loyal to Megatron. The Autobots eventually abandoned the base and detonated the energon supply altogether, destroying vast swaths of Terrorcon drones and ensuring that NO ONE got the energon. {{storylink\|Crisis in Jungle City}}		Alpha Q then tried a different tactic by sending the stealth-capable [[Command Ravage]]s and [[Shadowhawk Desert Type]] drones to [[Jungle City]], hoping they could recover a large supply of energon before the Autobots or the Decepticons even noticed.

	During the approach of the ''[[Miranda II]]'', Megatron deployed a flock of Divebombs with his Decepticons to annoy the Autobots. Kicker got rid of the birds by tossing chunks of energon at the Terrorcons, attracting them all together until Inferno sniped the energon chunks, blowing away any nearby Divebombs. {{storylink\|A Tale of Two Heros}} After the ''Miranda II'' buzzed Unicron and then retreated through the Space Bridge, another group of Divebombs was sent out with the Decepticon team to pursue them. {{storylink\|Battle Stations}}		During the approach of the ''[[Miranda II]]'', Megatron deployed a flock of Divebombs with his Decepticons to annoy the Autobots.

	Divebombs first attacked Cybertronian forces at Asteroid City and Mars City, where they overwhelmed [[Tidal Wave (Armada)\|Tidal Wave]] and the meager defenses assembled by the pacifistic Omnicons. While a small group transported their prisoner Tidal Wave back to Alpha Q, the rest of the Terrorcons proceeded on to Earth, making their first strike at Ocean City. The Autobot defenses on Earth were much stronger and, after reinforcements arrived from Cybertron, the Terrorcons were all destroyed or driven off. {{storylink\|Cybertron City (episode)\|Cybertron City}} Back in space, the Divebombs assaulted Lunar City, and despite suffering heavy losses successfully made off with a sizable quantity of energon. {{storylink\|Energon Stars}}		Divebombs first attacked Cybertronian forces at Asteroid City and Mars City, where they overwhelmed [[Tidal Wave (Armada)\|Tidal Wave]] and the meager defenses assembled by the pacifistic Omnicons.

	Alpha Q then tried a different tactic by sending the stealth-capable [[Command Ravage]]s and [[Shadowhawk Desert Type]] drones to [[Jungle City]], hoping they could recover a large supply of energon before the Autobots or the Decepticons even noticed. The plan failed, as all three sides began fighting over the energon mine, including a second group of Terrorcons loyal to Megatron. The Autobots eventually abandoned the base and detonated the energon supply altogether, destroying vast swaths of Terrorcon drones and ensuring that NO ONE got the energon. {{storylink\|Crisis in Jungle City}}		Alpha Q then tried a different tactic by sending the stealth-capable [[Command Ravage]]s and [[Shadowhawk Desert Type]] drones to [[Jungle City]], hoping they could recover a large supply of energon before the Autobots or the Decepticons even noticed.

	'''Divebomb''' has no glaring weaknesses, although his desire to retreat when things get ugly is not a characteristic highly valued by his field commander [[Scorponok (Energon)\|Scorponok]] (though it REALLY should be). More than any other Terrorcon, he has a better sense of when to pull his troops before they get toasted. A driven and fierce warrior, ~~he is~~ armed with razor-sharp energon blades that combine into a giant, boomerang-type weapon.		'''Divebomb''' has no glaring weaknesses, although his desire to retreat when things get ugly is not a characteristic highly valued by his field commander [[Scorponok (Energon)\|Scorponok]] (though it REALLY should be). More than any other Terrorcon, he has a better sense of when to pull his troops out before they get toasted. This isn't cowardice, but rather a keen tactical caution that the intelligent Divebomb isn't afraid to exercise. He is in fact a driven and fierce warrior, armed with razor-sharp energon blades that combine into a giant, boomerang-type weapon.

	Sometimes "Divebomb" refers to either an individual or an entire race of Terrorcons. Variants include [[Blackout (Terrorcon)\|Blackout]] and "[[Shadowhawk Desert Type\|Shadowhawk]]".
