Dead End (Animated)

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 a Timelines addition to the Animated continuity family.

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.

Toys

Timelines

Because there wasn't an Animated Sunstreaker toy to redeco.

• The Stunti-Con-Job (BotCon 2011 box set)
  • Accessories: 2 tailpipe/nunchuks

Dead End is a redeco of Deluxe Class Animated Jazz, transforming into a street racer very dimly resembling a tricked-out Porsche. His side-pipes detach to form a pair of nunchuk weapons, though, in fiction, they've been repurposed as mini-bazookas. He is only available as part of the BotCon 2011 box set, which also includes Motormaster, Wildrider, Drag Strip, and Breakdown.

Notes

• Dead End was the first toy to be revealed for the BotCon 2011 set, on January 27, 2011. The toy was put up on the convention website, followed shortly by his character model on BotCon's Twitter feed.
• Dead End being a Jazz redeco may have its roots in the G1 episode Masquerade, wherein Jazz was disguised as Dead End with camouflage paint. Of course, this isn't the first Dead End redeco of a Jazz.
• One of the early ideas for Dead End's deco was to paint his face up to resemble a skull.
