Divebomb and Airazor accompanied Fracture to Earth with the aim of collecting the bounty on Bumblebee, but immediately ran into Drift.

After Bumblebee's team joined the fight, the three Decepticons retreated to their ship where they spied on the Autobots using micro-drones. After abducting several of the Autobots and a human, Fracture went to try and capture Bumblebee and the two Mini-Cons again tangled with Jetstorm and Slipstream. They managed to capture Fixit and Russell Clay, however Drift's Mini-Cons took control of Fracture's ship, and the three Decepticons were forced to retreat. Hunting Season

• Divebomb (Mini-Con, 2015)
  • Accessories: 2 blasters, chest armor/mask, 2 blades, 2 energy bursts

Part of the first wave of individually-packed Mini-Cons, Divebomb transforms from a robot into a Cybertronian torpedo in a single step. As a Mini-Con, he can plug into and be launched from any Deployer figure, such as his master Fracture.

He comes with a number of clear-plastic accessories attached to a Decepticon-insignia-shaped sprue, which can be attached to him using tabs and slots. These pieces do not need to be removed for torpedo mode. His twin blades can be combined with accessories from his wavemates Dragonus, Sawback and Slipstream to form an energy lion.

The Mini-Con is later released by Takara Tomy, as part of the Micron Giveaway, for spending 3000 yen of Transformers Adventures products. Divebomb also features a different scan-badge, which is compatible to Takara's Transformers Chronicle mobile app. Divebomb is compatible to Micron Shooter Fracture set, and it was intended to complete Fracture's original Minicon roster.
