| The name or term "Divebomb" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Divebomb (disambiguation). |
- Divebomb is an Autobot-allied Mini-Con from the Classics portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Divebomb is a member of the Night Rescue Team. The team's self-appointed leader and decision maker, he's a total jerk who loves to brag how he can fly and most others can't. In fact, he's so arrogant he rarely even touches the ground, preferring to leave his rotors on and hover above ground level even when he's in robot mode.
He also wishes he was on the Night Attack Team instead. His teammates probably wish the same, but for different reasons.

Divebomb was one of the Mini-Cons created by the Last Autobot and tasked with cleaning up Cybertron for the upcoming return of the Autobots. When a processing plant on the planet exploded without warning, the Night Rescue Team was sent to provide help. Sadly, it later turned out that Modus Prime, leader of the Mini-Cons, had been caught in the explosion and died. To investigate the cause of the disaster, Dinobot leader Hacksaw called together a meeting, and invited the Night Rescue Team. As it seemed that a "mad Autobot" had caused the deaths, Divebomb blamed Broadside for firing upon it rather than trying to reason with it. He then spent the rest of the meeting teasing Strongarm about blinding himself and insulting Terrorsaur's breath, and was ultimately ordered to keep watch on things and organize cleanup.
Eventually, Divebomb's suspicions proved half-true, as Broadside was revealed to have faked the Autobot attack in order to kill Modus Prime. As soon as Nightscream made the revelation to the Mini-Con populace, Divebomb pointed his hand-cannons at the murderer and tried to place him under arrest. However, the reasoning behind Broadside's actions was causing the surrounding crowd to riot, and before Divebomb could take him down, Broadside blasted his rotor blades and he crashed to the ground.

- Night Rescue Team (Mini-Con Team, 2006)
- Part of the first wave of Classics Mini-Cons, Divebomb transforms into an AH-64D Longbow Apache assault helicopter (note the dome atop his rotor blades). He is available only in a three-pack with his teammates Firebot and Strongarm.
- This mold was also used to make Torque Gain, Universe Cloudraker, Henkei! Vortex and Universe Crosshairs.
Notes
- The original plan for the Classics Mini-Cons was as part of the Cybertron-setting Mini-Con 2-packs. Divebomb (then "Nightscream") was to be paired with the Decepticon-allied Mini-Con "Sky Blast", who was likely the mold ultimately used for Classics Nightscream.
