Title:
Dead End
Description:
Dead End (Deluxe Class, 2022)
3 of 5: Menasor
TakaraTomy ID number: TL-16
TakaraTomy release date: January, 2023
Accessories: 2x Energon blasters
Known designers: Mark Maher (Hasbro), Takio Ejima (TakaraTomy),
Part of the third wave of Legacy Deluxe Class figures, Dead End transforms into a close approximation of his Porsche 928 sports car mode in 15 steps. Though heavily based on his appearance in the G1 cartoon, his vehicle mode contains a yellow stripe going throughout the top, a cheeky little nod to his original toy. His accessories include two blasters, which can mount to the back of his car mode.
Dead End combines with his fellow Legacy Stunticon toys to form Menasor. When Dead End is attached to Menasor’s left arm, a hidden button on his underside is depressed, releasing a spring-locked latch that allows the figure to split in two at the waist, thereby giving Menasor a full range of elbow motion. As Legacy Menasor is designed with a specific limb configuration in mind, Dead End is limited to being Menasor’s left arm, as he’s incompatible with the tabbing system on the right arm intended for Drag Strip or the legs intended for Wildrider and Breakdown. Due to this design, Dead End is also not compatible with any prior systems of combination.
