They say you should never meet your heroes. But what about your fear-inducing, dread-powered Decepticons? Because Threezero just dropped the Transformers MDLX Dirge action figure, and it’s got enough doom-and-gloom charm to make your other Seekers look like clowns at a kids’ party.
Now, if you’re familiar with the best MDLX Transformers figures – Dirge and more by Threezero, you’ll know they don’t mess about when it comes to style and articulation. And Dirge? He’s bringing that signature Decepticon moodiness with a sculpt that practically sighs “I hate everything” in 50 points of articulation.
Who is Dirge in Transformers?
Dirge isn’t your average airborne baddie. One of the lesser-hugged children of the Decepticon Seeker family, Dirge made his G1 debut looking like the goth cousin of Starscream. His thing? Fear induction through sound. Yup, his engines emit a horrifying frequency that messes with the minds of his enemies. Imagine flying into battle and suddenly thinking about every bad haircut you’ve ever had—that’s the Dirge effect.
But don’t let his angst fool you—he’s deadly. While not as chatty as Starscream or as stoic as Skywarp, Dirge’s terrifying presence made him a psychological weapon, and honestly, we need more of that energy in 2025.
Threezero MDLX Dirge – Sculpt, articulation, and paint apps breakdown
Let’s talk design. This threezero Transformers MDLX Dirge figure stands at 7.8 inches of brooding beauty. Designed by Kelvin Sau (who’s been putting out mechanical masterworks like nobody’s business), Dirge features a completely new head sculpt, beautifully rendered custom wings, and a paint job that screams “weathered jet-meets-doom-metal-album-cover”.
Articulation? 50 glorious points of it. Want him brooding dramatically on your shelf? Done. Mid-flight terror pose? Easy. Mid-kick at Starscream for being annoying? Also doable.
Paint applications are exceptional. Subtle metallics, precise panel lines, and that classic navy and gold that makes Dirge look like he’s ready to ruin someone’s Monday.
He also comes with a buffet of gear: detachable arm cannons, blades, interchangeable faces (grim and grimmer), and swappable hands for all your expressive posing needs.

Need some buying advice? If you liked the vivid deco and dynamic range of Threezero’s MDLX Acid Storm, Dirge feels like the moody older brother who writes poetry in an underground lair.
Will Threezero release more Decepticon Seekers after Dirge?
This is the question burning through my spark. We’ve now seen Starscream, Skywarp, Thundercracker, Acid Storm, and Dirge hit shelves in the MDLX line. Could Ramjet or Thrust be next? I’m keeping fingers crossed and shelf space ready. Given the popularity of Seekers and Threezero’s momentum, there’s a good chance we’ll get the full Seeker squad in this deliciously detailed scale.
And hey, if you’re itching for something a bit more beastly, check out Megatron Type Godzilla for some monstrous Decepticon energy.
