Dirge and Ramjet accompanied Starscream and the visiting Camien Windblade to a Cube match between Iacon City and Polyhex. Bored with the game, they relished the opportunity to beat up on Bumblebee before the stadium's security guard intervened, then attempted to assist Starscream in "spicing up" the game with a spiked Cube—a plan that resulted in Ramjet and Dirge being repeatedly bonked on the head by Cubes thrown by Windblade and Bumblebee.

During the Nemesis crew's search for the Allspark, Dirge was among the Decepticons who stayed on Cybertron to fight off Autobot forces. During the climatic battle with the Autobots upon their return to Cybertron, Dirge got himself blown away by Windblade. Battle For Cybertron II
After the Great War ended in the Autobots' favor, Dirge was among the Transformers captured by the Quintessons, who outfitted them with control helmets that placed them in a simulation loop where they took part in a parade with varying differences each time. The Dead End Dirge was eventually freed from the simulation alongside the other Decepticons thanks to the Cybertronian resistance, who got them to transform when they unleashed Air Hammers into the Loop.

As part of a team-building exercise, Dirge was placed in a team with Alphastrike, Grimlock, and Kup. He was manhandled by a drone before being saved by Grimlock. The Alliance Dirge took part in aerial attack on the Quintesson Judge and allowed Kup to ride on his jet mode, but was easily knocked out by a shockwave. The Judge
After the Quintesson flagship had been destroyed, the new Judge revealed himself as Starscream, who unleashed a brainwashed Croaton on the planet. Rallying behind Jetfire, Dirge was part of an aerial attack that launched a futile attack on the Titan. Once the Quintession threat ended following Megatron's return, the Transformers formed a truce.

When Bumblebee and Whirl infiltrated the Decepticon half of Cybertron in search of a comatose Windblade, Dirge was among the Decepticons who surrounded them. However, Optimus Prime was able to convince Megatron to release the trio, citing an Autobot held captive in Decepticon territory as treason. The Decepticons complied and let Bumblebee and Whirl go.

Dirge and Ramjet were busy firing their null-rays at a Decepticon soldier in an act of amusement before an unimpressed Wildwheel shot their barrels, prompting the two coneheads to flee. Wild Wild Wheel

Notes
- Dirge's design is an obvious homage to his Generation 1 counterpart, right down to the conehead aesthetics.
