| The name or term "Dead End" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Dead End (disambiguation). |
- Dead End is a Decepticon from the Aligned continuity family.
Dark Energon can do strange and horrific things. Once a chatty hired thug, long-term exposure to the substance has left Dead End a silent, brooding shell of a bot with an insatiable hunger for power. While the Autobots have always thought of him as rather freaky, his recent change in personality and behavior has made even his fellow Decepticons rather unnerved, with Dead End hiding in the darkness, eyeing his comrades and their power cores as rich sources of energy, and waiting.
