Title:
Dirge
Description:
Dirge (Deluxe Class, 2009)
Japanese ID number: RD-22
Accessories: 2 missiles, 2 missile launchers
Revenge of the Fallen Dirge is a new-mold Deluxe Class toy that converts from a teal and gold Harrier-like fighter-bomber jet into a teal, 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, consisting of an asymmetric torso and arm design, requiring most of Dirge’s visual elements to be vestigial, such as the conehead and the small canopy (pseudokibble) window on his chest.
Dirge was shipped in two very similar shades of teal, with one lighter than the other. A rare run of this figure lacks paint applications on his face, featuring a completely black visage.
He was later redecoed into Jetblade and retooled into BotCon 2013 Skywarp and Thundercracker.
Notes
Revenge of the Fallen Dirge is modeled after Generation 1 Dirge, as his robot mode has conehead-like aesthetics. However, much like Thrust, he does not share a body-type with Starscream.
Meanwhile, Dirge’s color scheme is derived from his contemporaneous Animated counterpart.
