    They don't actually peg into anything, but they're quite secure.

    The Harrier mode does look a little better now, but I still think the wings are way too small.

    Other than that, the transformation is really imaginative and looks fun. And the designers who worked on him definitely made sure that once he is in robot mode, that he takes visual queues from his G1 self.

    Very nice overall.....except for the wings.

    When you do the pictorial review, could you take a picture with the wings folded flush against his legs in robot mode? I've never been a fan of the coneheads' jutting calfwings.

    nipple/boob action seems to be a re-occurring theme in this line.

    both sideways and dead end, have pose-able boobs,
    when you make optimus prime talk, he flexes his window boobs,
    interrogator barricade has extending attack nipples,
    and now dirge has spinning party nipples.

    BEST. TOY. LINE. EVER. :lol 

    and am i the only one who thinks his jet mode bears some resemblance to an F-4 phantom? except the tail fins are upside down?

    Nope. He's expected some time in early 2010. Probably January in the US - December 2009 if you're lucky.

    I will get Dirge, and will probably get all of his repaints too. Pity they won't be Thrust or Ramjet, but such is life sometimes. ;-)

    So he's got a conehead...and a cockpit on his chest...AND the arm-pit...why exactly? Ok, I get the conehead and one cockpit, but why did they stick that on his chest?

    The face is kinda cool and I'm impressed with the originality of the transformation there, but he's not in scale with anything but other Deluxe Jet-formers, and his missile launchers, while I like that they can indeed peg onto the arms, are a bit large and silly-looking to me. I'll pass on him.

    Was it the spinning nipples that gave him away at the Nest base?:lol 

    Still, this guy looks awesome, and his transformation is very unique (I NEVER would have guessed the hand hides in the cockpit from photos alone! Well, unless it was a mid-transformation shot, but still...)

    All I know is this guy looks awesome in both modes (The tailfins look cool, and it kinda pays homage to the fact G1 Dirge transformed into some made-up fighter anyways that didn't even have tailfins!).

    Now, Peaugh, I'd like to make a request: Have Dirge running in fear from Armorhide and Bumblebee, as per his card bio:D
