TF Prime Deluxe Deadend Pictorial Review

Here is a pictorial review of the TF Prime Deluxe Deadend. This is basically a recolour of the TF Prime Deluxe Wheeljack with a different head scuplt. So I am not going to into a full pictorial review of this figure, if you have seen the review for Wheeljack, the articulations and even the weapons are the same except that they are green in colour now.

Some pictures of the figure in alt mode:





Not sure about you guys but the combination of different strong colours on this figure didn't work for me, this whole figure especially in alt mode looks like a vandalized car to me.

And here are some pictures in robot mode:





But I have to say that I do like the head scuplt of this figure, it got this menacing and ninja-like look which goes well with the swords I guess



And a close up picture on the weapon:



And finally some side by side pictures with Deluxe Wheeljack and more:







Conclusion:

I cannot recommend this figure for its paint apps but if you like the mold of wheeljack (which I do like very much actually) plus the head scuplt of this figure, then perhaps this figure can be for you. We don't know if this figure is going to appear in the show at all but chances is likely "no" as I don't really see how it is going to pan out that a deadend character will come onto the show having the same alt and robot mode with the character Wheeljack, unless the script writer proves me wrong. I guess it is like hotshot having the same mold as Bumblebee but different head scuplt, these figures are likely not going to be any characters that will appear at the show. You'll probably be able to find lots of this figure on the shelves in the mall.

I like the car mode's colors, but they look cheap in robot mode. Mostly I just like the translucent green, which is hidden in the robot mode.
I do toy and product reviews, check out my channel.

See my figure designs.

Every time I look at that head I laugh it's sooooo stupid looking. The color scheme is pretty terrible too, it reminds me of radioactive vomit. And doesn't his bio say he's been affected by Dark Energon or something? If so, then why doesn't he have a lick of purple on him? And to be honest it would have made him much better looking. Overall I think this toy looks horrendous and I'll be avoiding it like the plague, I even prefer Airachnid to it. Still a good review though!

Those colors are so garish. And that head sculpt is so freaky.

I love it.

I'm in the same boat as you. The colors may look off, yet they attract me at the same time.
