Good news Conehead fans! KOtoys.com has gotten a hold of the new Generations Dirge and snapped a few shots comparing him with it’s limited release brother Henkei Dirge.
And the judges votes are coming in….and….it looks like the Hasbro (non-Botcon) version is your new “Ms. Dirge that you are going to display!”
Runner up goes to Henkei Dirge for it’s nice chromed missile launchers and cockpit as well the very nice wing tampos that extend to both sides of the wing. However, the incumbent edged out a victory with a more cartoon accurate color scheme (black and a slightly lighter blue as opposed to grey and a more muddy blue) and clean silver accents (as opposed to more grey.) Something else the judges liked was this robots style as he came formally dressed wearing a Decepticon symbol (like a bow tie) around his neck. So Chic!
This handsome pageant winner will be available at a reasonable price when Generations Wave 4 is released.

Generations wings beat those crazy ass circus tent Henkei wings any day of the week.

I'm just pleased they tried to replicate dirges red/white stripe stickers rather than trying to modernize it.
Of all the G1 vintage coneheads. Dirge gets the least appreciation. But at least he is the cheapest one to aquire in minty shape.

nope, not kidding, i posted my thoughts….why do you think the henkei looks terrible?

Already have the henkei one, but prefer this one. Never hurts to have more!

I just picked up Thrust from Auto Assembly and he is tight! I can't wait to partner him with Dirge.

Chrome on Dirge just doesn't do it for me. Generations Dirge for the win.

Henkei FTW. Chrome and the paint scheme makes it a winner.IMO.

The Generations Dirge does look like the most cartoon accurate one we've had to date, overall I like the Generations paint scheme better than the Henkei one. The only negative thing I can say about it are those fugly wing decals, that is the only thing about the Henkei version I like better. But for $10.00, I won't complain too much about it.

Sooo glad I kept putting off picking up Henkei Thrust and Dirge. Both Hasbro's versions look monumentally better. Can't wait to pick this one up! Now bring on Thundercracker!

Wow, I actually like the Hasbro version better. Can't wait to add this version of Dirge to the collection as I'm afraid to even mess w/ the Botcon version.
general saberwi
are you kidding? the heinki version looks horrible
mr_soundwave
henkei dirge is still the winner. henkei's paint scheme is more subtle and clean.
