It seems Genetic of TFND is up to his old tricks again, bringing us in hand shots of the third Combiner Wars Wave 2 figure Dead End! He is the final "Classic" Stunticon of the wave, and leaves only Offroad yet to be in hand. Something tells me that we'll be seeing him soon though, so while we're waiting why not have a look at Dead End's bio!

Most Decepticons would say the Autobots are doomed. Dead End is the only one who would say the same about the Decepticons. He's convinced the end of the universe is right around the corner, and he's going out with his blasters blazing. -Hasbro

I now want pictures of Rook with devestators fists...

[RiddlerJ]

I love how his weapon is a tailpipe that, I guess, he just beats you to death with. It's like the candlestick and the revolver weren't available that day.

All kidding aside, I love this figure.

[Ironhidensh]

Who remembers slingshot from the 80s? What was his defining feature? He was the @$$hole. So it honestly makes sense that all the @$$holes of the fandom would come out of theirs holes to back him up and ridicule alpha bravo

Yet, you are the twatwaffle resorting to name calling.

[Cyberpath]

So Shogo Hasui was a collaborator on Devastator. I guess that explains the perfect cartoon heads. (:

That also gives more backing to the rumour that he will be released in Japan under the MP line.

Perhaps, but I find that hard to believe; the heads may fit famously with the MP line, but not much else. Isn't "Unite Warriors" more likely?

Ya! I love the pipe. Just supports the idea that these guys are a street gang of unruly thugs. "Arielbots. Come out and play-e-ay."

I dont know, its not the same scale and they cant interact with the other figures scramble city style.

It's you who said that, not me.

[ZeroWolf]

Loving the colours, i do want menasor but I need some better pictures of Offroad. Though I'm nabbing black Jack when I see him, he looks really fun to play with.

[SW's SilverHammer]

Yeah, why hasn't anyone made a bong for transformers anyway?

[peaces]

they would have to redo devy from scratch for it to be mp worthy.

[Cyberpath]

Same in America, but they're still part of "Combiner Wars." (:

[Rated X]

Well we don't need to resort to name calling, do we?
Especially when it's obvious.

I think we need a new thread...
Alpha Bravo - So Scandalous He Needs His Own Thread

how has Va'al not made that thread yet?

Why not make it a more general thread, like Replacement Combiner Limbs - So Scandalous They Need Their Own Thread, just so we can include Offroad and Rook? Why should Alpha Bravo be singled out?

Well Offroad is at least painted like Wildrider in alt mode for those who only care about displaying Menasor. And Rook was more of a solution to the Groove scale issue. But Alpha Bravo was a blatant insult to G1 fans by Hasbro. Wh created him ? Why ?

Notice on his TFwiki, his IDW continuity is a whopping 2 sentences. No pictures, backstory, or listing of what issue of which IDW comic he appeared in. Does anybody even own this mysterious comic book where Silverbolt dies and Alpha Bravo takes his place ? Or is it just an urban legend made up by pro IDW fans ? Somebody please take pictures of the actual comic...

I must say, my reservations about new characters aside, this CW line seems very impressive so far. Much better than previous lines. I might have to break my Optimus, Starscream, and masterpiece figures only rule.

[Desslok2201]

I can't agree more. They may be nice for a mass release like CW or Unite Warriors, but those constructicons are NOT MP caliber, by a long shot

[shajaki]

Tailpipe bludgeoning weapon earns all the win. im so excited over this next wave i almost want to BBTS them to get em as soon as possible.

But at the same time, we are also including Generations Megatron and Legends Bombshell in Combiner Wars while Takara is not. Those are sold as part of their Legends line and TAV line respectively. So right there, the two lines are not in synch.

I see good points for both outcomes. Though if Devastator is released in the MP line, I dont think it would be as individual robots, but instead as a big gift set.

[LE0KING]

Deadend looks good, I'd probably buy it even if it wasn't a combiner.

[BlueBefore]

I wonder if Rated X has someone else turn on his computer.

RID #33. The image on TFWiki is the only panel he shows up in. As many of us, me included, have said multiple times.

You don't read the comics, you don't care for them, you dislike this new character. We get it. It's fine. Neither do other users on here, and it's also fine. Some of us do, and that is also fine.

Let's move on.

I really like how Dead End has a chest piece covering the combiner port. It's simple but really adds to the individuality of the figure.

[Jelze Bunnycat]

To think Dead End's the template for Streetwise. Poor guys, both of them.

I've got the comic...but I don't wanna show you

For the record silverbolt is still alive oh and slingshot is just heavily damaged but meh, we dont need him, he's surplus to requirements really.

And if I ever met the person responsible for his design, I'd buy him a beer (or whatever his poison)

Dead End wouldn't like being used to make an Autobot or won't care, and vice-versa. Dead End and Streetwise are another pretool pair, like Air Raid and Skydive, and Offroad and First Aid.
