DIRGE, RAMJET AND THRUST DIRGE, RAMJET AND THRUST

Three jet warriors (also known as Seekers) who made their first appearances when the Decepticons attacked Dinobot Island.


DIRGE

Dirge is a pessimist, always seeing the downside of things, and often failing to perform in battle due to his lack of conifidence in the Decepticon ability to win - which always seems to be well-founded.
Dirge transforms into an F-16 fighter jet. In this mode, he can achieve flight at Mach 3, and is armed with two cluster bomb launchers, one under each wing. The roar of his engine is able to create incredible fear in those being who hear it. In robot mode, Dirge is armed with two shoulder-mounted concussion rifles.
Dirge was present at the Autobot City Massacre of 2005, and was damaged by the Autobot commander, Optimus Prime. However, it would seem that his injuries were not sufficent enough to warrant his beingthrown out into space with other wounded Decepticons on the return journey to Cybertron. His fate following the restoration of Cybertron's Golden Age is unknown.


RAMJET

Ramjet is a warrior who loves nothing more than to get into a good fight.
Ramjet transforms into an F-16 fighter jet. In this mode, he is armed with two missile launchers, one mounted under each wing, and can achieve flight at Mach 3. In robot mode, he is armed with two concussion rifles, one mounted on either shoulder. His head/nosecone is almost indestructable, and he enjoys ramming and headbutting his opponents with it. However, the Autobot Warpath managed to seriosuly damage it in a head-on collsion. Ramjet was, however, very low on energy at the time - it is unclear if this was a contributing factor to it's damage (Ref: "A Decepticon Raider in King Arthur's Court").
Ramjet was present at the Autobot City Massacre, and was badly damaged by Optimus Prime. While his injuries did not warrant him being cast into space with other wounded Decepticons, he was later apparently destroyed by Ultra Magnus in the Battle for Cybertron, when the Autobot sent him spiralling out of control with one punch, causing him to collide with a tower, where he exploded. He was not seen thereafter, and is presumed destroyed.


THRUST

Thrust is a boastful Decepticon, although he often lacks the courage to back up his claims.
Able to transform into an F-16 fighter jet, Thrust can achieve flight in excess of Mach 3 and is armed with two wing-mounted cluster bomb launchers. His love of and desire for speed frequently leads to his burning out of his engines. In robot mode, he is equipped with two shoulder-mounted concussion rifles.
Thrust was present at the Autobot City Massacre of 2005, and was dealt minor inuries by Optimus Prime, who ran him over in truck mode. Thrust served with the Decepticons throughout 2006, but his final fate following the restoration of Cybertron's Golden Age is unknown.


Despite the fact that events during Unicron's attack on Cybertron detail Thrust, Dirge, and Ramjet flying into the planet-eater's mouth and being destroyed, the three jet warriors reappeared after Unicron's destruction. Ramjet's apparent subsequent destructicon by Ultra Magnus was reinforced by the fact that he never appeared again folloing the said event, but Thrust and Dirge were seen several times, most notably when Starscream's Ghost stole one of Trypticon's eyes by trickery, enraging Galvatron so much that he planned to hunt down the two seekers for sport, along with Runabout and Runamuck (who had also been tricked by the Ghost) inside Trypticon, until Starscream possessed Trypticon to fulfill his bargain with the reactivated Unicron. However, Thrust, Dirge and the Battlechargers were able to deactivate Trypticon from within, saving Cybertron and preventing Unicron's resurrection. As stated above, their final fates, individually or together, are unknown.
