Can you take a Dedicated transport without a squad, or do they have to be taken as an upgrade to a squad?

A dedicated transport is a transport bought for a unit. In general if something is only available as a DT (such as a Rhino or DP) it must be bought dedicated.
In the Spearhead game type (rules available somewhere) DTs can be taken as part of a Spearhead, without being dedicated.

Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.

Just because a unit can not purchase a DT, does not mean they cannot use it. The only in-game restriction for DTs is that only the unit that bought it can start in it.
So if another unit buys a DT the Wraiths can still use it (as long as they are allowed to embark).

Yeah, its actually fairly common for a unit to hijack another unit's transport and has been a long standing 40k tradition.

Except in 4th where only the unit that bought a DT could ride in it.

Eh, with jump infantry I'd rather have a turn of movement than screwing about car-hopping 
In hindsight, a flier is probably too hard to maneuver for a CC unit that probably needs to drop right in the enemies face.
But that's a great thing to think about for later lists, thanks HJ :3

You can buy whatever has an purchasable entry in the army list section. Things like rhinos and other such transports do not get an independant entry in the list and therefore cannot be purchased separately, while heavier transports such as land raiders can be purchased as dedicated transports for some units but also have an independant entry in the list and can be purchased either way.
