"Maybe I can scare those ducklings OH GOD THEY'RE LOOKING AT ME NOOOOOOOOO"

Dirge wishes he was a master of fear. But he simply hasn't got the brains or courage to pull it off. He has grand plans of sowing terror throughout the Autobot/human alliance, but it doesn't take much to have him running for the hills, scared for his life.

Fiction

Revenge of the Fallen toy bios

Dirge decided to hide out amongst the jets of NEST, thinking it the perfect place to start a campaign of terror. Probably not the smartest call he's ever made. 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.

Dirge was Tankor's reinforcements, intended to take out any of the Autobots that turned up at the tank's siege. To Dirge's surprise and joy, Springer had turned: he could now bag a genuine war hero! The Decepticon did well when he just had to swoop down and make a surprise attack, but the Autobot Jolt got Dirge wounded by friendly fire. This one wound caused the big coward to fly off, leaving Tankor behind. Rules of Engagement

• 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.

Dirge was shipped in two very similar shades of blue, with one lighter than the other.

He was later redecoed into Jetblade.
