In-depth Gallery of ROTF Deadend

For [BEEP]'s sake, the toyline isn't offically out for another week, and we're seeing repaint rumors already?!

I think this version is better than the sideways(Barricade) one. Ill defiantly be swapping the heads around though. It does sadden me that the toy lines not even out yet in most places and theres already a frsk losd of repaints. At least most of em have resculpts.

you lost points for pointing out obvious and more for beeping your self out

He's a big improvement colour-wise over Sideways, but his head is just plain...cartoony? Hmmmmm, no idea on which one I should get...

His ballerina foot is actually more of a toe - it's located on a plate that can be splayed out forwards such that his wheel-ankle touches the floor as well - looks much better that way (stock-photography also shows his feet positioned like that).

Just as shocked as everyone else about repaints hitting the shelves and the actually figures arent even here yet, but this one is really good i think, and looks like i might have to get him and sideways and have my own Decepticon twins for my collection. The most wanted is Mixmaster and Long Haul for sure and then this guy, unless scrapper comes out soon and then hes a must as well...

Is anyone else looking at those window/wing things and thinking this guy needs to be retooled as Kickback?

wow surprised no one think of painting jetfire and name him silverbolt.

nice figure but the bot mode makes him look not good i still see sideways when i see him in bot mode, car mode wow

Maybe it's just me, but, ROTF SIDEWAYS and DEADEND appeal to me as modern versions of RUNAMUCK and RUNABOUT respectively. just like BARRICADE appeals to me as a modern version of the Decepticon Stormtrooper RAGE and BUMBLEBEE as the oblivionized BUMPER.

Well, seeing as there has been Bumblebee -> Cliffjumper, Starscream -> Thundercracker, then there will definitely be a Silverbolt

As for this one... I think I'm tired of red repaints of Movie figures. Got enough of it with Cliffjumper, Salvage and countless others the first time around.

I expected Jetfire to be done in:

A. G1 Colours
B. Skyshadow to reference Cybertron
C. Jetstorm Blue

But back on Dead End. I like the look of him. I prefer him with Sideway's head. But anyway, I'm probably gonna pick it up once I see it. I have to say, I'm really impressed with this line and the repaints offer more. Although they better make a battle damaged Leader Optimus with holes in his head and everything............. or else!

But the alt mode is the sex, it really is.

And by that do you mean sweaty, sloppy and not worth the effort for the final result? Or were you thinking more along the lines of "a few more shots of Jagermeister and I just might go for that!"
Cause nothing about either mode screams "so damn sweet it'll leave you gasping for more" to me.
