[edit] Animated Series
Dion was featured in a single episode of the original series. In the episode War Dawn, the Aerialbots are transported to Cybertron's past by a Decepticon time machine. There they meet a civilian Autobot named Dion along with Orion Pax and Ariel. They all were working at an energy warehouse. At first Orion, Ariel and Dion were fascinated by the Decepticons. Megatron attacked the warehouse and Orion, Ariel and Dion were all gunned down. The Aerialbots took Orion and Ariel to Alpha Trion where they were rebuilt into Optimus Prime and Elita One. Dion's fate, however, still remains a mystery to this day. Some fans believe he may have died, while others believe he was rebuilt into Ultra Magnus or Ironhide.
Dion made a cameo in the pilot of the Transformers: Animated series on a historical video being viewed by Optimus Prime. This historical video was stock footage from the original animated series.
[edit] Toys
A toy of Dion was released in Japan as a recolor of Autobot Wheelie. He was sold with a figure of Orion Pax, who himself was a recolor of Kup.
