| This article is about the human pilot. For the similarly-named Titan Master, see Diac. |
- Dia Cinders is a human Diaclone pilot from the Diaclone continuity family.
A woman of very few words, Dia Cinders is Burn Out's human pilot. Since Burn Out's personality is based on her own, the two argue constantly. It oftentimes comes to the point that Dia turns off Burn Out's voice commands in order to be more effective in the field. She is especially good at sharpshooting, possessing pin-point accuracy.
Fiction
TransTech
Born in 1982, Dia spent a life knowing nothing but the Diaclone project, which began in the same year and for which she was named. Dia's ambitions eventually came to fruition when she became the mech pilot of Burn Out. BotCon 2015 Burn Out profile card

Toys
Timelines
- General Optimus Prime / Sgt. Hound (Deluxe, 2015)
- A BotCon 2015 exclusive toy, Dia is a redeco of Generations Caliburst in colors homaging the Diaclone pilot figures, transforming from armored humanoid into a triple-barreled gun. In gun mode, she can combine with the various iterations of the Holepunch mold (notably her mission partner Cline) to form a super-rifle, with either one forming the "front" part.
- Despite being the "pilot" for Burn Out, she and Cline were actually packaged with Sgt. Hound, who in turn was available only in a 2-pack with General Optimus Prime. This set was an at-the-show "souvenir" set.
- This mold was also used to make Adventure Targetmaster, and Combiner Wars Singe and Zputty.
United
- Artfire (2012)
- Available only as a mail-away exclusive offered through Transformers Generations 2012 Vol. 1, Nightstick is yet another redeco of Universe Nightstick. He comes with Artfire, a redeco of Universe Inferno/Grapple, and Sparks, a redeco of Power Core Combiners Pinpoint.

Legacy
- Diaclone Universe Burn Out (Deluxe Class, 2022)
- Known designers: Mark Maher (Hasbro)
- Part of the first wave of the Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection sub-series of Transformers: Legacy, "Diaclone Universe Burn Out" is a redeco and retooling of the main-line Legacy Deluxe Class Skids, with a new "battle mask" head that closely resembles Crosscut. She transforms into a legally-distinct approximation of a Honda City Turbo, based on the black version of the Diaclone "No. 9 Honda City Turbo" toy.
- Both of her modes modes have multiple 5 mm post holes to mount these accessories, as well as making her compatible with the many "take apart to turn into weapons and armor for other bots" figures released in the prior years (first introduced as the "C.O.M.B.A.T. System" in Siege). Her two silver blasters are designed to combine into a triple-blaster by plugging the double-blaster upside-down into the bottom of the single-barrel one. You can even turn it into a quad-barrel weapon by adding the axe to the top; the silver single-barrel gun nestles neatly into the space behind the axe's handle-grip.
- The Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection was exclusive to Walmart in the US and the Farmers department store in New Zealand, with Hasbro Pulse receiving limited quantities of the figure. The series went up for pre-order on July 21, 2022, and started arriving in stores by August 1.
- Obviously, this iteration of the mold would be redecoed into Legacy: Evolution Crosscut. This figure was also retooled into Crankcase.
Masterpiece
- Dia Burnout (Masterpiece, 2023)
- Masterpiece MP-53+B "Dia Burnout" is a new-head retool and redeco of MP-53 Skids. She transforms into a Honda City Turbo featuring opening front doors, an opening hood with engine detailing underneath, an openable rear trunk that can store her Motocomp drone or some of her guns, and a basic interior capable of fitting the included "ghost pilot" figurine (a translucent yellow/orange redeco of MP-44's Carly figurine), which can also pilot the aforementioned drone. The new head is based on the box art of the original black Honda City Turbo Diaclone toy.
- She comes with the blaster accessories from both the Skids and Reboost versions of the mold. In robot mode, the weapons can either peg into the top of the forearms like the original Skids toy, or on the side of the forearms via dedicated slots.
Notes
- Dia is loosely based on Sasha Kaidonovsky, the female co-pilot of Cherno Alpha from Pacific Rim.
- Dia was originally conceived without a surname. The 2023 Masterpiece release of "Dia Burnout" granted her the "Cinders" surname in its bio.
Foreign names
- Japanese: Dia Cinders (ダイア・シンダーズ Daia Shindāzu)
