Title:
Dead End 2nd Vehicle Mode
Description:
Dead End (Deluxe Class, 2009)
Known designers: Andrew Scribner (deco artist)
Deluxe Class Dead End is a retool and redeco of Revenge of the Fallen Sideways, with a color scheme resembling Generation 1 Wildrider. His head resembles Wildrider’s animated model a bit, and he’s even wearing Generation 1 Dead End’s vehicle mode hood as a hat!
Dead End features Automorph action during the conversion from car to robot mode. When the front bumper is pressed, his front pair of wheels automatically flip underneath the hood. There is also some Mech Alive: you can see internal gears moving in his fore-arms when moving his arms, as well as a turning disk on each of his elbows. On his right arm is a spinning "saw” blade.
The original version of this mold would be retooled into Lost Age Advanced Line Dino.
In Japan, Dead End was only available as a Toy Hobby Market (now TakaraTomy Mall) exclusive, with a pre-order window of August 13th through September 25th, 2009.
During part of 2010, Hasbro did a promotion wherein US fans could receive three free Deluxes in exchange for receipts showing the purchase of $25 or more of select Transformers product. As noted in this thread over at Allspark.com, and later confirmed by this listing here, Deluxe-class Dead End was one of a pool of eight figures (all from the same wave) from which the free Deluxes were drawn, with several people having noted receiving him.
