I really dig the color scheme on this one, also. One thing you didn't mention is how subtle it is. Dead End looks black under most lighting conditions (as seen when you cut to a pose at 10:08), but if you look closely (which shows through most of your review), he's really a dark chocolate brown. I *LOVE* that; definitely one of my favorite Alternators paint jobs. 👌 In vehicle mode, he looks like a death machine in a Hershey wrapper.
Glad to watch! Your channel is one that I often times look up Transformers toy reviews for to determine what product I want to add next to my collection
Hey great review. I just picked this guy up at a comic convention myself.Its not too bad I do like his alt mode. The only other alternator I have is Rodimus and I really liked him so I figured I would give this guy a try.
I remember having Sideswipe, I think he transformed the same way, I got bored with him within a year and gave him to a friend (he's a Dodge fan) he still has him (in car mode) today!!!!
I think what would've been an awesome Feature for the packaging and a missed opportunity is if they made part of the underside of the package clear plastic,that way you could see the robot/car parts
Eh,well for anyone that isn't a transformers fan they would be easily fooled,Heck I showed my brother the Underside of battle ravage and he didn't even pay attention to the head until I pointed it out
+I Am Legend they were being sold and the Transformers Section and said Transformers on them with a bunch of pictures of the robot. If somebody bought them and didn't know it transformed, that would be their problem
+Rodger Moreno I have a ton of these. I've been collecting since 98 and I didn't start doing reviews until 2014. So expect to see a lot of these and if you want to see more I have a whole alternators playlist.
I’m to this day still in love with this guy and looks As i found it i sweden Way back in what…. 20 years now? Still have it but rarely touch it. Not wanting to break it. And yet. As my Nephew somehow got hold of it 5 years ago and broke it. DeadEnd’s left arm with the door is just barely Holding on as it’s cracked off and the wheel is uneven. Truly a shame. But to this day i still haven’t thrown it out.
No. This was a cash grab repaint of Sunstreaker that they did because they realized that people wanted Decepticons. Any deluxe scale version of Deadend will actually look like G1 Deadend and not this guy.
It's funny apparently the entire alternators story is they got new bodies to protect them from the cosmic rust virus as the new forms were immune. Why would Deadend of all boys decide to do this I mean this guy is the constantly depressed one who thinks everyone is doomed anyway so why bother changing. You'd think if just one Stuntacon survived it would be DragStrip or Breakdown.
+Rugalheid Bernstein That's what I was Going for. I love when people find my old videos. My alternators playlist has a lot of views. I need to finish the rest of my collection. I haven't reviewed an alternator in almost a year
+eyescovered well actually Rodimus , ricochet who I bought and returned. I sold my smokescreen after getting the binaltech version and I have binaltech Hound
I am very much just that. A regular ass person. There are quite a few snob reviewers out there but most that I used to watch were regular guys too. Lol

You sound like the guy who voices the Cybertron games. Also, I got a sealed version of this guy from 2005!
0:19 your Intro Really is chill,Like your intro for being custom made and voiced by yourself has to be the coolest ive seen in a long time
+I Am Legend Thanks and thanks for watching.

I remember being so happy the day I found this guy...oh if I could go back in time and save myself all that money
+trustarscreamer I still have all mine
Hey great review. I just picked this guy up at a comic convention myself.Its not too bad I do like his alt mode. The only other alternator I have is Rodimus and I really liked him so I figured I would give this guy a try.
+Eric Larson if you can find it cheap I would suggest getting one of the BinalTech Smokescreens or Meister
I remember having Sideswipe, I think he transformed the same way, I got bored with him within a year and gave him to a friend (he's a Dodge fan) he still has him (in car mode) today!!!!
+Chris The Jerk wow. That's cool
Nice review. My Alternators are almost all in vehicle mode. I agree the articulation is lacking but the alt-modes are so nice.
+Jim Hogg I used to love the robot mode more than I do now
+TMan978 I agree. But like you said, they don't stand the test of time. Alt-mode though, these things are still nice.
I think what would've been an awesome Feature for the packaging and a missed opportunity is if they made part of the underside of the package clear plastic,that way you could see the robot/car parts
+I Am Legend they were marketing them as model colors that can become Transformers so I think they wanted to keep that is hidden as possible

Not many do toy rewind reviews so thanks for taking the time
+Rodger Moreno I have a ton of these. I've been collecting since 98 and I didn't start doing reviews until 2014. So expect to see a lot of these and if you want to see more I have a whole alternators playlist.
Awesome I will have to check it out when I get the chance.
I just ordered him in a lot of two other alternators from someone of of tfw. Got him for a steal. Alternators have a certain charm all their own.
Couldn't resist but to watch this retro review =D
+RichformO4 Thank you
+RichformO4 Thank you

YOUR WELCOME X4 :3
I’m to this day still in love with this guy and looks
As i found it i sweden Way back in what…. 20 years now?
Still have it but rarely touch it. Not wanting to break it. And yet.
As my Nephew somehow got hold of it 5 years ago and broke it.
DeadEnd’s left arm with the door is just barely Holding on as it’s cracked off and the wheel is uneven.
Truly a shame.
But to this day i still haven’t thrown it out.
Really like the video. Could you please do a reverse video to get him back into car mode?
Guess what? You're in luck. Watch my alternators Sunstreaker review. I do the reverse transformation at the end.
He looks more like wildrider than dead-end.
with this color scheme, should've been called Wildrider rather than Dead End.
+Robert H I don't think they can use the name wild Rider even back then
Oh yes! I recall now. That's why we get an infinite supply of Dead End repaints while the rest of the Stunticons get the shaft :)
is there a smaller version of this guy that's deluxe sized ?
No. This was a cash grab repaint of Sunstreaker that they did because they realized that people wanted Decepticons. Any deluxe scale version of Deadend will actually look like G1 Deadend and not this guy.
It's funny apparently the entire alternators story is they got new bodies to protect them from the cosmic rust virus as the new forms were immune.

Maybe the depression was a show
Battle Ravage would look good with this guy.
+Rugalheid Bernstein which Ravage ? Two-legged alternators Ravage or four-legged alternators Ravage or just another Ravage figure?
Two legged alternators version. Its such a badass figure. Hasbro revisited the two legged car Ravage in combiner wars.
+Rugalheid Bernstein That was an exclusive, right?
TMan978 Yeah it was. Your voice sounds like Victor Caroli, the narrator in the G1 cartoon.
+Rugalheid Bernstein That's what I was Going for. I love when people find my old videos. My alternators playlist has a lot of views. I need to finish the rest of my collection. I haven't reviewed an alternator in almost a year
are there any alternators you don't have?
+eyescovered Rodimus
+eyescovered well actually Rodimus , ricochet who I bought and returned. I sold my smokescreen after getting the binaltech version and I have binaltech Hound
to think we might not have MP without this line coming first
+eyescovered yes. True
+eyescovered well...actually mp and Binaltech were released simultaneously. I think BT was unofficially MP at first.
Had to watch this very slowly, bit by bit, backwards to find out how to transform him into car mode. The instructions for Alternators are junk.
If only you ask nicely and subscribe, I might do you a solid.
I wonder what job you have as a living.
Why?
@@TMan978 because you seem like a regular guy not a snob.
I am very much just that. A regular ass person. There are quite a few snob reviewers out there but most that I used to watch were regular guys too. Lol
Dodge viper is cooler
