Dead End (Cyberverse)
| 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 Cyberverse continuity family.
Dead End is sullen, grouchy, and hates a lot of things, with Astrotrain probably rating pretty high on that list. He would love to bring an end to every Autobot that he comes across. Seriously, he is one bad Decepticon with an even worse attitude, always looking for ways to kick it into overdrive and make things worse for his enemies. In order to save Cybertron, Optimus Prime and his allies will have to throw a lot of speed bumps in this Decepticon's path.
Fiction
Cyberverse cartoon
- Voice actor: Xavier Paul (English)
Attempting to use Vector Sigma and the AllSpark to create an army of Decepticons, Megatron faced resistance from the arriving Autobots. During the fight, Dead End knocked some Autobot soldiers about. Battle For Cybertron II
After the battle ended in the Autobots' favor, Dead End was among the Transformers captured by the Quintessons, who outfitted them with control helmets that placed them in a simulation loop where they took part in a parade with varying differences each time. Dead End grew suspicious of his circumstances after Clobber mysteriously vanished and, after failing to convince Lockdown, transformed to break out of the simulation. After following Clobber and Hot Rod, he attacked the latter, suspecting that the Autobots were behind the hostile takeover. Their brief scuffle brought the attention of some nearby drones and the group were forced to relocate to Maccadam's. The Dead End
Finding that they were somehow safe inside, Dead End begrudgingly accompanied Perceptor in his investigation of the establishment, discovering that it is part of the War Titan Iaconus. The Sleeper Joined by a recently-escaped Whirl, Dead End and the other freeded Cybertronians journeyed deeper into the establishment. After going through a rigorous training program and encountering the vicious Skullcruncher, the group was dissuaded by Maccadam from activating Iaconus, as an effort to stop the Titan's past violent rampage had taken the lives of its citizens minus the bartender.

Notes
- Dead End's design is influenced by his Generation 1 counterpart's Combiner Wars toy, notably visible in the shape of his chest, forearms, and helmet (not to mention his backpack).
- Dead End's color scheme, meanwhile, is taken from Revenge of the Fallen Dead End, which is especially noticeable with his packaging art and the battle mask he wears in the Season 3 opening intro and "Enemy Line".
