I know its already in retail, and I just bought one myself for my own gift.
Awesome fig, G1 Conehead Seeker Design and Movie design fusion indeed, and looks real good, very detailed, complex transformation…. 2 launchers… and Spinning nipples Lolz!
But try splitting the top of his head a bit, he kinda looks like Cyclonus.
Nice review Peaugh as always, I always watch your videos before buying any TFs in any size class.
i can't wait to get this figure! i may even get two…one for my movie display and one for my Dirge display…maybe even 3 if i decide to keep one sealed…i just can't hide my love for dirge…really hope i find him just after i close on my house monday…really want him to be the first toy i buy as a homeowner…
He's cool, but I don't like how the wings are transformed on his legs.. I think they couldn't been improved a little.. But other than that, very unique and fun transformation. Nipple action is a bonus IMO.
How's the right arm articulation like? And would ROTF Thrust be a better buy than Dirge?
Right arm articulation isn't that bad, really. A little limited, but not too much. And I'd definitely pick Dirge over Thrust.

I didn't see if anyone asked or if it was mentioned, but what about knee articulation? Is there any and is it any good?
I know they said 2010 for these, but I have a sneaky feeling at least this bunch of new figs will be out sometime this year. Is there anything else we know of due out soon in the deluxe class? It seems like a loooong time to go through with nothing but exclusive repaints to keep us going.
So far this looks like it will be one of my favorite figs in the line. Not to mention a good way (and cheaper) to fill out the holes in the Classics/Universe seekers collection.
An interesting way to form the 'conehead' feature! Looks to be quite the interesting figure too! Guess any Autobots would be too freaked to fight back cause of the 'spinning nipples'!

Wow, that looks really good. Transformation of the waist/hips area kinda reminds me a little of Cybertron Sideways. Kinda.

Anyone got a comparison with Classics Ramjet and ROTF Thrust ?
mr_soundwave
not very excited about the right arm….
Peaugh
Yeah, he's got knees. They're limited a bit by the wings, but they ARE there.

Screw 2010….bring 'em on now!
Peaugh
Yes.

Must be getting this, great review Peaugh!
joebot.
I went from hating this figure to loving it. The transformation is really cool. Especially the head
Ratchet2007
The "Nipple Action" made this a definite buy
ROTF Thrust and Dirge will have to make do and be Universe Thrust and Dirge

Hey Peaugh nice review and Dirge looks like an awesome fig.
BTW what kind of useful articulation does he have?

= BOUGHT!!!

awesome review as usual Peaugh. I really like dirge, but once I saw the spinning nipples I was too distracted to remember the rest of the review lol
definitely looking forward to this one when it hits stores.

I think there is too much of a disconnect with his body / head compared with the rest of him.

As far as I'm concerned, Dirge is the best looking 2010 ROTF line toy by a country mile. And easily my most anticipated one, Mindwipe being the other.
