A woman ofveryfew words,Dia CindersisBurn Out's human pilot. Since Burn Out's personality is based on her own, the two argue constantly. It oftentimes comes to the point that Dia turns off Burn Out's voice commands in order to be more effective in the field. She is especially good at sharpshooting, possessing pin-point accuracy.

Fiction
TransTech
Born in1982,Dia spent a life knowing nothing but theDiaclone project,which began in the same year and for which she was named. Dia's ambitions eventually came to fruition when she became the mech pilot of Burn Out.BotCon 2015 Burn Out profile card
Dia andClinewound up inAxiom Nexus,where they passed as Cybertronians thanks to their mech suits, Burn Out andLift-Ticket.They sought out a highly evolvedWarudernest deep underground. Following the Waruders' signal, they encountered a group of wanted criminals, and fled upon seeing them. Cline and Dia met up with the group once more when they found themselves in the middle of a battle between Waruders and Cybertronians. Revealing that they had been tracking the Waruders hive, the humans joined their new allies in battle. They were shortly thereafter joined byGeneral Optimus PrimeandSergeant Hound,who pooled their efforts towards the fight against the Waruders as well. Sergeant Hound was particularly impressed by Dia/Burn-Out's aiming skills during the battle's course. The Lift-Ticket armor took a severe strike, prompting Cline to exit the mech. Dia/Burn Out defended her now-vulnerable ally as the Waruder invaders kept on swarming them. The battle came to an end whenC-81took the Waruders' leader hostage, and began negotiations with the critter. The Waruders were convinced to migrate to a different Cybertron via an interuniversal gate, bringing the fighting to an end. Dia later conversed with Sergeant Hound, noting that she hated the whole concept of "quantum" when it was revealed that the Waruders had arrived in Axiom Nexus 20,000 years in the past due to quantum instability.Cybertron's Most Wanted

Masterpiece
- Dia Burnout(Masterpiece,2023)
- Hasbro name:Autobot Burn Out
- ID number:MP-53+B
- Release date:March 25,2023
- Accessories:"Turbo Cannon", "Concussion Leveler" w/ missile, "Pulse Rifle", "Double Laser Caster", Motocompo attaché drone, "ghost pilot" figure
- MasterpieceMP-53+B "Dia Burnout" is a new-head retool and redeco of MP-53Skids,transforming into aHonda City Turbofeaturing opening front doors, an opening hood with engine detailing underneath, an openable rear storage trunk (more on that in a bit), and a basic interior capable of fitting one of the posableMasterpiecehuman figures. The new head is based on the original Honda City Turbo Diaclone toy's head, rather than the cartoon model from Skids.
- She comes with a slew of accessories: the cartoon-based blaster accessories from Skids (the Turbo Cannon and Double Laser Caster), the toy-based weapons fromReboost(the Pulse Rifle and Concussion Leveler), as well as Reboost's Motocompo scooter. In robot mode, each of the weapons can either peg into the top of the forearms like the original Skids toy (with the Pulse Rifle having a flip-out handle she can grip), or on the outer sides of the forearms via dedicated slots. Unfortunately, it is not possible to equip her with all four weapons at once, as the side-mounting clips will interfere with the top-mounted weapons. The Motocompo can also seat aMasterpiecehuman figure, but the wheels are fixed so don't go zooming it around.
- Her vehicle-mode trunk is designed to store the Pulse Rifle and Concussion Leveler securely, as well as either the Motocompo (once its handlebars have been folded away) or the remaining two guns, though none of these are secured in any way, but the fit is tight enough that they don't rattle around much at all. You're not getting everything in there, sorry.
- She also comes with a "ghost pilot" figurine representing the discorporate Dia, a translucent-orange redeco ofMP-44'sCarlyfigurine, which can also pilot the aforementioned drone. However, care must be taken as she has numeroustinyballjoints, like head-of-a-pin tiny, and it's very easy for her limbs to pop off.
- Finally, she also comes with a bonus sheet of optional stickers, featuring a large Autobot insignia and aGeneration 2Autobot insignia for her hood, and a small original Autobot insignia to put on the Motocompo.
- Dia Burnout was revealed onAugust 9,2022,with pre-orders opening the next day. She began shipping in late March of 2023.
Notes
- Dia is loosely based on Sasha Kaidonovsky, the female co-pilot of Cherno Alpha fromPacific Rim.
- Dia was originally conceived without a surname. The 2023Masterpiecerelease of "Dia Burnout" granted her the "Cinders" surname in its bio.
Foreign names
- Japanese:Dia Cinders(ダイア・シンダーズDaia Shindāzu)
