Dirge (Movie)

The name or term "Dirge" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Dirge (disambiguation).

Dirge is a Decepticon from the Revenge of the Fallen portion of the live-action movie continuity.

Part of the new "Cone-elbow" subgroup.

Dirge wishes he was a master of fear. But such is not the case, as he decided to hide out amongst jets of NEST. A simple screw-up revealed himself, and now the Decepticon is constantly on the run from the Autobots Bumblebee and Armorhide. He fears for his life, knowing they can't get him in the sky, but he must touchdown onto the ground to refuel, and they'll be waiting for him there.

Revenge of the Fallen

• Dirge (Deluxe Class, 2009)
  • Accessories: 2 missiles, 2 missile launchers

Dirge is a new-mold Deluxe Class toy that converts from a slightly modified blue and gold Harrier-like jet into a blue, black, and gold robot. He has two spring-loaded missile launchers that mount under his wings or, in robot mode, onto his arms, though his left arm's kibble makes this an awkward fit. Dirge's Mech-Alive gimmick is spinning gears on his chest when you lift his arms.

His design is based heavily on the original Dirge. Compared to the original, however, Dirge transforms very differently (basically sideways), requiring most of Dirge's visual elements to be vestigial, such as the conehead and the fake canopy window on his chest.
