Dead End is not very popular among his fellow Decepticons. This is hardly surprising since he has been known to siphon their energy off if they aren't careful. Dead End is as creepy as they come. He crawls on all fours and keeps to the shadows. He isn't really capable of carrying on an ordinary conversation. When he has something to say at all, it is something strange or gloomy.

He is also known as Detour.

• Dead End or Detour (Scout Class, 2009)
  • Japanese ID number: RD-07

Dead End converts from a modified red and black Peugeot 9009 concept car to a robot with a bird-like head vaguely resembling Hawkman's mask/helmet. Interestingly, while Dead End has no neck articulation, he does have a movable jaw; the entire top of his head hinges backward, revealing a lower jaw and teeth. However, added plastic (most likely for safety reasons) makes his chest-plate unable to fold down all the way. As a result, many owners don't even see Dead End's lower jaw, and assume the upper jaw to be the entire head. It is possible to hinge the full head upwards by pulling on the lower jaw's cheek detailing.

Notes

• Before solid information regarding the name of the Revenge of the Fallen Scout Class toy became available, sellers of stolen prototypes alternatively referred to him as "Detour" and "Dead End". Eventually the latter name won out... but ultimately it turned out the name "Detour" hadn't come out of thin air either: Some European releases of the toy feature the name "Detour" on the cardboard insert on the packaging's front (the cardback and the instruction sheet still call him "Dead End", however). At least one sample has even been found at US retail, with a misapplied European insert.[1]

• From what can be gathered on the scout toy's bio, it seems Dead End is some sort of vampire that feeds on other transformers and that is awesome.
