Dirge (02-09-09)
Transformer of the Day for February 9, 2009
DIRGE
-Faction: Decepticon
-Era: Generation One (1984-1992)
-Function: Warrior
-Motto: “Fear is the Element That Unites All Losers”
-Notable Toy: Henkei (TakaraTomy, 2009)
Notes: Dirge is my favourite seeker and one of my favourite Transformers. Pity he ends up as the short pack in so many assortments like the myclone and Japanese PVC lines, or exclusives to Botcon or Ganbo stores. I even took a stab at a Classics version for TFCon 2007. Death comes to those who don’t make a play for his impending (and colourful!) Henkei release.
