The Dirt Digger Team consists of...
- Dirt Rocket the dirt bike.
- Grindor the monster truck.
- Oil Slick the muscle car. Yeee HAW!

Grindor, Oil Slick, and Dirt Rocket were among the first of Broadside's secret recruits among the Mini-Cons. They took a job modifying the trans-hyperwave caster tower for him, warning the Autobots that Cybertron was still uninhabitable in order to keep the planet all to the Mini-Cons. They were discovered by the Dinobot commander Hacksaw during the modifications. They outnumbered him 3-to-1 but, well, he was a Dinobot. Broadside arrived just in time to stop Hacksaw from taking the Dirt Diggers into custody, and their personal duel ended in Hacksaw's death. With the modified signal left unfinished and the popular Mini-Con leader dead, Broadside gave the Dirt Digger Team a choice — flee the scene as unknown assailants, or be the assassins killed while resisting arrest. They took off. The New World
