I run around in sandals, I never, ever shave.
'And that's the way I wanna be when someone digs my grave.

Dead End has facial hair that is fabulous. The other Stunticons are probably jealous. Their attentions would be wasted on Dead End, because he's too busy being a depressing beat poet, going on and on and on about the inevitability of death and the futility of existence etc etc.<ref>{{#if: Everyone needs a depressingly dour beat poet in their life. |"Everyone needs a depressingly dour beat poet in their life."—|}}{{#if: https://twitter.com/DerrickJWyatt/status/30788614854017024 |Derrick J.

"Nowhere to hide, from my poetry. Ahem..."

Dead End was sent, along with the other Stunticons and Toxitron, on a mission to break Megatron and other Decepticons out of Trypticon Prison. In the guise of entertainers, they planned to rig the former Decepticon Gladiatorial Arena in Kaon with explosives, blasting the prison walls open and killing the audience in the process.

All was going well until the Stunticons were abruptly assaulted in mid-rehearsal by Cheetor, who opened fire on the disguised Decepticons. Once the Autobot cop settled down, the rehearsal continued.

On the night of the plan's execution, Sideswipe and Cheetor returned in the middle of the show, having worked out the Stunticons' plan. The Stunticons fought back, with Dead End and Drag Strip cornering Cheetor. But when Toxitron turned out to actually be a disguised Optimus Prime, their plan was exposed to everyone watching. Dead End was incarcerated in Trypticon Prison, alongside the very Decepticons he and his teammates had sought to free. The Stunti-Con Job

Toys

[edit]

Timelines

[edit]
Because there wasn't an Animated Sunstreaker toy to redeco.
  • The Stunti-Con-Job (Box set, 2011)
  • Accessories: 2 tailpipe/"mini-bazookas"
Animated Dead End is a redeco of Deluxe Class Jazz, transforming into a street racer very dimly resembling a tricked-out Porsche. His side-pipes detach to form a pair of "mini-bazookas" (or nunchaku, as they were originally intended).
He was only available as part of the BotCon 2011 box set, which also includes The Motor Master, Wildrider, Drag Strip, and Breakdown.
This mold was later retooled into Animated Jackpot.

Notes

[edit]
If anything, these colours might make him more depressed.
