    I would have preferred they taken this route, reserving Generations for ALL iterations of the property.

    LOVE the alt mode and the bot mode EXCEPT for the head. Just looks boring and uninspired IMO. At least it's different than the other Stunticons though.

    I see. That's cool, I guess it's just not my favorite head design.

    Love the G1 cartoon based head for Dead End (and indeed much of the CW figures). It's something neither the 3rd party Fansproject or Botcon 2011 animated figure had. Voice actor Phillip Clarke really brought him to life with a memorable portrayal - "we're doomed"!

    And to think at one point I wanted a Dead End repainted from RTS Jazz (to go along with Universe Dragstrip and TFCC Breakdown) - now I just want a Jazz repainted from CW Dead End :)

    As much as I wish Generations focused more on other, well, Generations, people have wanted good Combiners for literally ever, so I'm not super angry-mad over HasTak delivering on that.

    Dead End is the best looking one out of the group my only complaint is his weapon a hammer would have looked a lot better.

    Ha, no way! I think the pipe is the best part about him! Makes the Stunticons feel all the more like a biker gang! I only wish one of the other guys had a chain. :)

    I like the idea of a pipe being used as blunt instrument especially with him being a Stunticon and all.

    That I'm glad they're finally delivering on the combiners.

    Can't really call them recent, except Armada Megs... who is a retool.

    And G1 still outweighs them buy a ton.

    It's not a stick it's a mace. The mace was one of the premier anti-armor weapons in its day, you know.
