Courtesy of Hasbro designer Mark “Markclonus” Maher, via his Instagram account, we have some in-hand images of the new Transformers Legacy Deluxe Class Dead End, as well as his write-up about the development of this modern rendition of the G1 Stunticon.
Ejima san from Takara Tomy does it again with the latest great addition to the Stunticon team, Legacy Deluxe Deadend. It was a pleasure in getting @artguy101 to do the concept art and the turnaround lineart for this guy to kick him off.
Swipe right and you can see alot of the Legacy figures I add various slots and other sculpt details to play out the fantasy of imagining these would all be compartment access either for repairs or upgrades.
The early model had followed the structure of the flap over backpack but I felt that it would look better flipped and condensed as you can see in the imagery.
The Stunticon gang right now is looking fantastic next to each other and they are all just waiting for their compadre to be revealed. The focus for these bad bots was really on their vehicle modes as they are minions under the king of the road.
I hope people are noticing instead of doing the typical 877 silver metallic rims I bumped the color down to have a more darker gun metal appeal since these decepticon creeps are pure 😈
You definitely need to hop him on Menasor and swivel those sweetly sculpted double energon blasters forward. Those blasters are key for some energon weapon builds since they are laced with posts on both sides.
Be sure to watch Pulsecon too, I’ll be in the mix with some new reveals that will leave you 🤤 for more! 😎

Actually, it’s a reference to SS86 Jazz since they’ve shared body types before.

Neat, and it comes with wheel hub covers for Wildrider. Might pick this up down the line.

I don't know what's the matter with the post above yours, but I honestly can't think of a better way to upgrade Dead End's feet apart from either getting this quick and dirty upgrade kit or waiting for someone to literally come up with a new pair of legs for Dead End that incorporates feet (which shouldn't be impossible since Dead End can split apart for arm mode).
Right now, this kit looks good in a pinch.

In lieu of a more extensive fix, it's ok.
I think I'll wait to see what else pops up down the line.
Oniconvoy
Looks like he has a dead body in the truck with the feet hanging out

Hey look! Someone made a kit to help the feet look like actual feet!

That actually looks pretty cool, right?

Lots of people are having that issue and it has been discussed multiple times in the review thread for him. Might need to check that out.

Weird… it’s very like Drag Strip’s issue. With him you had to do some careful surgery to the hook that connected his feet. What does Dead End’s connector look like?
Rodimus Prime
Anyone photoshop a g2 version?

Got this bad boy in hand today, and I'm less bothered by the feet than I thought I would have been. However, in car mode, the feet do not line up properly looks pretty badly… Is anyone else having this problem? Or a fix for it?
Vanya
A full leg replacement upgrade would be great, but a modding solution may not be far fetched either.
LZSchneider
Thank you for the correction.

Tarn's not getting his paint budget from a toy several waves before him in a different size class.
LZSchneider
Wow would you look at those feet, tsk tsk tsk.
I guess Tarn had to get his paint budget somewhere but jeez.
I honestly do wonder what woulda happened if Deadend and Breakdown were released before Yellow Mirage (I forgot his name lol) and Menesaor… HMMMmmmMmmMmMmm "The first two were shite but he's worth it now!" maybe?
MehWave
I mean … those feet tho.

Can yall complain about something else other than Dead Ends feet. This whole Comment section is just feet and it\'s not only getting weird, but its getting really annoying.
Predakwon
Not gonna lie, I never cared about the feet till I saw the design pics in this thread, I was more dissatisfied with the empty area between the heel spur and calves, but whatever.
Left arm you'll be Dead End
