Custom Dead End Stunticon Transformers G1 Style Movie Figure by grapes4mapes

Posted by Mig on Thursday, January 10, 2008 @ 8:15 PM | PERMALINK | More Custom Figures: Custom Transformers | Custom Marvel Legends | Custom Star Wars | Custom GI Joe



Here is another great example of the many uses of the Bumblebee Concept Camaro with grapes4mapes Custom Stunticon, Dead End. Keeping with Deadend's G1 likeness, the head is fashioned after the cartoon version and not the toy. I actually like the cartoon head better as the toy looked too human and had a gold face. Although there is a deviation in color (the cartoon version and the toy were maroon), I like his color choice better and it compliments figure nicely.

You can add this Custom Dead End to your Transformers Bumblebee collection as this excellent piece is available on eBay!

If you want to read more about Dead End, please do so below.

Sullen and fatalistic, Dead End sees little reason to continue the Autobot-Decepticon War since all Transformers eventually become inoperative anyway, even though it might take tens of thousands of years. Yet he spends more time keeping himself unmarred and shiny than any of his fellow Stunticons, an irony not lost upon Motormaster, who speculates that Dead End wants to at least make sure he leaves a pretty wreck when he dies. This vanity leads to a lot of teasing and derision directed toward Dead End, which just makes him feel worse. The only thing that can lift his spirits is blasting Autobots in battle, despite what he says about the pointlessness of it all. It seems he's too busy trying to save his own life to get depressed about the possibility of losing it.
