Dirt Rocket

The vehicle mode for Dirt Rocket is a yellow motorbike with purple urban camo. The name is similar to a previous Transformers bike the similaly styled Road Rocket. Both of the free spinning wheels and the saddle are moulded in black while the exhaust pipes are painted silver.

He's got Minicon ports either side of the petrol tank - when mounted on the arm of a larger figure and turned wheels on he can look like a sort of dual buzzsaw weapon.

TF: Pull the seat in two along the middle and fold out to become the arms. Fold the flap on the petrol tank up to become the head. Pull the front of the bike down to become the legs and attempt to stand - what you're aiming for is to get him on the tips of the front mud guard and the base of the wind shield. He will stand in the end. Honest.

Poseability is essentially limited to the arms as the legs need to be in a very precise position to balance. He has hinged knees and ball jointed hips in addition to his ball jointed and hinged shoulders.

Not bad looking but he could balance better an awful lot better !

Dirt Rocket was found in the Dirt Digger team with Oil Slick & Grindor but was also available as Offshoot exclusively at Wal*Mart stores as Offshoot with Primus, Classics Strongarm, Classics Knockdown, and Cybertron Nightscream (Classics Thunderwing)


Windrazor

Windrazor is a common toy in Micron Booster v4. The yellow of dirt rocket is replaced with a reddy orange so it's not too huge a leap from one to the other.

Blight

Blight is a member of the Decepticon Overcast Minicon Team in the Universe 12 Pack which was exclusive to K-Mart & Woolworths. He's shortly due to be released individually carded. Yellow becomes a hideous pale green which looks awful here compared to it's use on the Constructicons.
