Dirge (Kre-O)

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 Kre-O continuity family.

Seeing as how often Dirges die, the flak jacket is probably a good idea.

Dirge thinks you ought to know he's feeling very depressed. He might be able to soar far above the clouds, but have you ever been up there? It's cold and everything's really far away. Dirge doesn't have any friends, because friends would just betray him, like his pet toucan that ran away. Also they could turn out to be clowns—Dirge really hates clowns.

Fiction

Part of the first normal wave of Micro-Changer Kreons, Dirge is a blindpacked-bagged mini-figure, though a stamped ID number can be found on the back of the bag, top-right corner.

Notes

• Dirge's early product photography is of an obvious non-production-final mockup, with much darker wings and a face that's just a paper decal. More interesting though is his blunted-off nosecone-helmet.
