    It's pretty clear that Dead End has become very popular among fans of the Combiner Wars line. I myself have been interested in getting this mold for some time now, and as of this post, there's three versions to choose from: Dead End, Streetwise, and Brake-Neck (Wildrider). Which one do you think is the best version of the mold?

    Admittedly I don't have any of them yet (Streetwise is en route from Amazon), but I'd probably pick him just due to the deco. The others are a little much for my liking, although I suppose that's the Stunticons' aesthetic, right?

    Besides, the Protectobots are the only combiner team I really care about. I know how lame that is. :D

    My fave mould so far and I like ALL of them. Dead End has the coolest Headsculpt but Streetwise just edges it for me. Police Supercars have it.

    I think Streetwise takes the cake. Police interceptor for the win. Breakneckwildrider's colors better than Deadend's, even with the excess red on the sides or the car, but Streetwise is the best lloking, IMHO, of the lot.

    I like the Break-neck color scheme on him but I only have Deadend in hand but I have Break-neck on the way and Streetwise on pre-order

    Either Streetwise or Wildrider. Dead End is fine too.

    Streetwise is my favourite, but he's also destined to become Prowl, who I'm looking forward to far more.

    Between the 2 Stunticons, Dead End due to the stripe. I'm not fond of the red in Wildrider's bot mode.
    Both are better their respective Takara versions, so there's that.

    Hoping that Prowl comes off well.

    As much as I love Wildrider, I'd have to give this one to Streetwise. All the changes Hasbro did to that mold was enough to edge him out ahead of the others.

    If I had to rank them in order it'd be
    Streetwise>Takara Wildrider>Brake-neck>Takara Deadend>Deadend.
