The RID repaint of Wheeljack, in all those funky colors, is DeadEnd right?

He's yet to appear in an episode if I'm not mistaken.....so why the figure?

Because repaints are cheaper to produce for Hasbro than new molds. Of course there were better molds to repaint, and molds that they never got around to using, but that's a whole other matter.

I quite like Dead End. He's all sorts of Halloween-y awesome.

I might grab him just so he stands apart a tad bit more from my generations Wheeljack.

Wheeljack is my favourite mold from the Prime line, and the Dead End repaint just looks awesome! Love em both :grin:

He's also SLATHERED in paint...at least compared to the rest of the line. There is really quite a bit of paint on him though.

Yeah. They went above and beyond on the paint apps with him. Drenched in the stuff.
He's well worth purchasing if you have any doubts. A real horror show. :twisted:
