Title:
AT-05 | Dead End
Description:
Dead End (2004)
Alternator ID number: 6
Japanese ID number: BT-05
Accessories: Engine/gun
Alternators Dead End is a retool of Side Swipe, with his alternate mode being a licensed black 1:24 scale Dodge Viper Competition Coupe (compared to Side Swipe’s SRT-10 street model) with silver stripes, red windows and headlights. Like Side Swipe, he features opening doors, a detailed interior, a hood that opens to reveal an engine bay holding a replica Viper V-10 engine, movable steering and rubber tires.
His transformation into robot mode is mostly identical to Side Swipe’s, with some changes owing to the slightly different alternate mode. Specific differences include the hood, wheels, roof, the entire rear end of the car, chest and head. The head sculpt is distinctively modeled after Generation 1 Sunstreaker, as this tooling was originally designed as the latter Autobot. Like Side Swipe, he is armed with a vacuum-metalized silver gun formed out of his engine.
The main difference between Hasbro’s Alternators release and the Japanese Binaltech version is that Binaltech Dead End’s car shell (minus the rear end of the car, which forms the "backpack” kibble in robot mode) is constructed partially out of die-cast metal and has the entire car shell painted.
Though the Alternators version was initially not released in Europe (not counting an imported release of the US-packaged version, which was sold as a Toys"R"Us exclusive in some Scandinavian countries), it was later released as part of a Europe-only wave of Alternators toys in the same packaging style as the second North American Alternators assortment, the latter of which Dead End was not re-released in.
Dead End was later redecoed into Sunstreaker, the character he was originally designed as, with two distinctively different decos released as Alternators Sunstreaker and Binaltech Asterisk Sunstreaker.
