Cybertron exclusive toy bio
When a space-time anomaly sent an alternate-universe incarnation of the Mini-Con Downshift to Velocitron, Dirt Boss managed to capture him and used his added power to pillage cities along Velocitron's equator. This naturally drew the attention of Override, who brought along her new Mini-Con partner Mirage (who hailed form the same alternate universe as Downshift) in order to free the captive Mini-Con and stop Dirt Boss's rampage.
Toys
Cybertron
- Dirt Boss (Deluxe, 2005)
- Japanese ID number: GD-06
- Accessories: Speed Planet Key
- Dirt Boss transforms into a Cybertronic (Velocitronian?) pickup truck with oversized clear-plastic tires. Plugging a Cyber Planet Key into his tailgate causes his wheel assembly to push down, making him a little lower and wider in truck mode. Wow. In robot mode, this swings a pair of non-firing pipe "blasters" over his shoulders.
- The Hasbro and Takara versions have slightly different paint applications, though the most noteworthy one is that the Hasbro version gives him a Decepticon sigil.
- He comes with a silver-bordered Velocitron-style Key; the Hasbro version has the Key Code "d3h7" stamped on its back.
- Value Pack (Multi-toy bundle, 2005)
- Two randomly paired, fully packaged Deluxes (Dirt Boss, Hot Shot, Override, Red Alert, Sideways, or Snarl) set in a cardboard "sleeve" were sold at Toys 'R' Us and Wal-Mart stores for somewhat less than the cost of two normal Deluxes.
- Dirt Boss with Downshift (Tiny Tins multi-pack, 2006)
- Part of a run of Wal-Mart exclusive sets, Dirt Boss was also sold in a larger box that came with a special redeco of the Race Mini-Con Team member Downshift, plus a special Tiny Tins carrying tin for the Mini-Con. Dirt Boss himself was unaltered from his normal release.
- Dirt Boss / Landmine / Snarl (Multi-pack, 2006)
- Late in the Cybertron line, Dirt Boss got packaged (again without alterations) as part of a special three-Deluxe set with Landmine and Snarl, sold for the price of two deluxes, available at Toys 'R' Us stores.
Attacktix
- Starter Set (Multi-pack, 2006)

- Dirt Boss was available only in the Transformers Attacktix Starter Set (along with Overhaul and two different Skyblast pieces (robot and jet modes).
- Dirt Boss uses a back-mounted missile launcher that fires a special two-pronged projectile, which is styled after the cannons on his larger main-line toy. The missile's two prongs mean it needs to be positioned just right before firing (you'll want it turned so that both prongs will his the target) for a knock-down.
- His Special Power, Recruit, lets you put any Decepticon piece in play from your Back-Ups.
