Looking good!

Interesting head transformation: his conehead is actually formed from two half-cones that fold up and snap together.

Very cool. The transformation design looks very fun and satisfying. I like the nods to the G1 design such as the shoulder vents and arm cannons/missile launchers. I also like that it's a different design than Thrust/Breakaway. Having RotF Thrust and Dirge together in display will be cool. Finally, you can't lose with "party stripper spinning nipples".

Arms look like crap.

Regardless... we'll be seeing a Thrust/Ramjet repaint in the near future.. or in the TF3 toyline.

Looks good I will definitally get him. However, I think he has too many cockpit/nosecone parts that not part of the original plane mode like the Gi and Universe molds. I wish the creators would have incorparated these parts into the plane mode rather than have a useless cockpit on his chest just for show and a conehead that is not even part of the planes nosecone. Overall though , great figure and I love that plane mode instead of the usual F-15 or Mig.

very cool, i liked this the moment i saw the pics and the transformation video makes it seem like an entertaining toy. The transformation difficulty is always key i find... too simple and it's not worth it and too fiddly spoils the enjoyment.

i dig the arm... he has a sub aquatic alien look in robot mode which is ironic since he's a flier. Kinda reminds me of the claw handed pirate in pirates of the caribbean

I tjhink i'll get thrust too and put him along my ramjet and starscream in my universe collection.

I really dig that figure. And I can't wait to see it perform at my local cabaret doing the titty twister.

Very cool. The nosecone arm is still kind of weird, but overall it looks like an interesting figure. And the spinning nipples are totally awesome.

If they weren't in ROTF already: repaints of Starscream and Breakaway

Hahaha.. Spinning NIPPLES. Wow wonder what they will think of next..

For me part of the fun of buying new TF figures is to work out and see how they transform so these video reviews kind of spoil that a little but on the flip side its nice to know what you are buying in advance so you dont buy a lemon.

I like Dirge, its different and that is what keeps us interested.

I watched this review late last night, and i must say awesome figure, great colors and homeage there. really like his bot mode and alt mode alot, but i agree with his hands and arms could be better on this guy. The transformation is really different which i like and keep me interested. But when i saw the spinning nipples features, then i thought maybe he should be called Mindwipe since he is a hypnotist :lol:

Can you imagine, Dirge speaking: stare at my spinny nipple as i blast you!!!

Spinning nipples. Best review ever if just for that quote! "Party Stripper Spinning Nipple Action!" To hell with "Kung Fu Grip"...

I'm still grinning and it'a been like 10 minutes since I watched the review.

Oh yeah, nice fig by the way...

...spinning nipple action. I suppose that means it's impossible to give him a cyber-nurple...

Really nice review of a gr8 figure

Can’t wait for this guy to hit the stores, his colours are much darker then the pictures show which looks much better now. Plus you can take his missiles off his legs so now this guys an instance buy. Fair his cockpit arm could’ve been better but it’s a minor problem for a great design. The transformation is sweet and very G1 megatronish
