I love the 928 so much. My grandfather had one and hopefully I’ll get it one day. I want to get a second dead end and make it green to match that car. Maybe even make a new head as an homage to him. My grandad in transformer form.

[@springy5082]

That's just beatiful

[@micahh9351]

the 928 is an important car for so many people. Jeremy clarkson was testing a 928 when he got a call his father was dying. He managed to make it to the hospital with a fresh cooked chicken that was still warm on arrival and he managed to say goodbye to his father, who passed 30 min later.

[@lagbait3076]

I remember riding in the 928s my aunt had, when that thing hit 60mph you felt it. Fun car.

[@lagbait3076]

Those car modes, they've really been nailing it. I can't possibly foresee this set being anything but the G1 representation we've wanted from Hasbro, great job guys, keep it up. 🙃

[@DragoonMS]

Until you get to Breakdown, who's a straight up repaint of Wildrider instead of being retooled to look like a proper Lamborghini. (Granted, Combiner Wars had Wildrider as a repaint of Deadend...)

[@ultra_marcus]

At last! How long have we been waiting for a Dead End in scale with Slag?!

[@TheLazyEyebrow]

[@CarnoReviews]

​@@TheLazyEyebrow we need to have our dead end and slag romance story. Picture it: Dead slag, a love story

[@aaronsheppard6246]

He’s alive!

[@TubaJay448]

I like to turn mine 180 at the waist. I think the shins look way more interesting as car mode pieces than those flat slabs, and the heels work alright as feet. It also helps distinguish him from Dragstrip. Eventually I'll get around to filing down his knee joints so they can work like this. Then I'll either make a new crotch plate that can peg onto that stand port, or just paint the screws black.

[@TheLazyEyebrow]

Not a bad idea

[@nameforcomments4092]

I’ve got a set of acrylic paint pens and have just been doing what Hasbro should’ve done with the shins on these figures. It looks surprisingly adequate and is easy and fun, but yeah it’s still the flat slabs. So if I can ever get my hands on this guy I’ll have to look into this approach. Edit: also I’ve had amazing results with just painting visible screws and pin ends; highly recommend in general, even if not for this case.

[@RobinSwede]

Wasn’t expecting a DCAU reference but here we are

[@ToaDrakua]

I feel like the Stunticons in general could have benefited from following Wildrider's example (the exception being Breakdown's very obvious _issue_). You'd get a more cohesive look across the whole group in robot mode that'd double as a callback to the original Stunticon toys.

[@sonnysunny975]

I didnt really think that TLE aka the lazy eyebrow is dead I just think his busy woth his job and his family and that's fine atleast he still makes reviews

Wonderful review as always!!

[@AsheBailey]

I'm happy to see a reviewer who knows how to properly put this bot into car mode. Though the unintuitive car backhalf transformation is another reason the whole half below the waist needs an overhaul.

[@Herculean_Prime]

i saw your earthrise optimus review and went and bought it and i am glad i bought it, thanks for the recommendation

[@Jude1180]

I honestly agree and have said everything that the lazy eyebrow said. I remember telling my friend that "The lower down on the figure you go, the worse it gets." I really love the car mode, and I also hate the high heels and chonky legs that majorly hinder movement.

[@Transfixed]

I agree, he's best in car mode. I'm still not sure how I feel about having wheels moulded on the inside of his shins. It's G1 accurate, but if i paint them, then it would look like he has six wheels.

[@MilesDashing]

I don't like painted windows, but I didn't notice until you pointed them out about a third of the way through the review, so I must conclude that they look fine on this particular figure.

[@animatorxstudios100]

you saying combiner wars was years ago amazes me. that was the year that I got into transformers. wow

[@JPH8989]

Welcome back buddy!

[@Jetblast01]

It's like they knew these would be better off in combined mode hence why they didn't care that much for robot mode. Dragstrip was their best foot forward to get people enticed, then Motormaster for their quality.

[@cheeseyboi20]

Tbh the stunticons were famous for their vehicle modes so it does make sense for them to focus on vehicle mode more (not looking at you breakdown) robot modes seem solid though, i own all of the stunticons and I must say I enjoy all of them to a degree

[@AnotherAyushRaj]

[@KRBrickBot]

I remember watching his old videos where he was full of action. But it is sad to see how he is not into it like he used to be.

[@TheLazyEyebrow]

Still am, but in order to fill out the schedule I have my regular videos (which I'm getting back into. circumstances limited my ability to do this for a time) and these diet ones in which I constrict what's animated to a more formulaic approach

[@tracytron7162]

You forgot that the back wheels are supposed to be on the inside of the shins, but they’re on the outside and they have faux wheels molded where the wheels are supposed to go

[@manoftheusajones5147]

That is the ONLY Stunticon that i do NOT have!

[@MrDEMarq]

I am both happy...and sad when I finally got him.

[@80memes]

Dead end is my favorite stunticon, and I think the figure did him enough Justice (could be better but compared to the combiner wars one this is really good), I’d probably even buy it for the alt mode alone even if I didn’t like dead end

[@localblackman25]

He’s my fav of the group then drag strip and I just found him again at Walmart it was an easy buy twice I’m gonna keep him in box though

[@reyonXIII]

Just as I'm hunting for him and Breakdown, this comes up. Car mode is DEFINITELY the winner here. Robot seems serviceable enough. Car mode, though, is definitely worth getting him for the arm, rather than modding a Dragstrip like some have recommended me to do, due to how seemingly scarce he seems to be.

[@vassa1972]

I have 3 out of 5 stunticons, deadend, dragstrip and motormaster

You can paired him up with his buddy, Wildrider, recreate the scene from "The Burden Hardest To Bear" episode with Rodimus Prime.

[@animeking1357]

Unfortuneately for me I feel that Dragstrip has been the only good Stunticon so far. All the others have something holding them back.

[@MrReverbdeluxe]

I'm surprised you didn't touch on the issue some people have been having with the back end not being able to fully clip together in car mode. My copy suffers from this and I've seen other reviewers have the same problem. I was hoping you would be able to recommend a fix since I feel you're more in tune with the engineering and details than other reviewers. Oh well, maybe you lucked out and got a copy with decent qc. Thank you for the entertaining review as always!

[@TheLazyEyebrow]

I've seen it covered by a few people and figured I'd be retreading well covered ground. It's a matter of clipping the feet fully in and the putting the legs together

[@MrReverbdeluxe]

@@TheLazyEyebrow Yeah, I've seen the recommended fixes and even after I get the heel spurs to clip in fully to the back of the rear top, the two legs won't sit flush and it still stays split down the middle. I've tried everything I could think of short of modifying the legs but it just doesn't work for me. Like you said, it's primarily going to stay attached to Menasor's arm so I can live with it. I was just hoping you would see something I was missing other than what's already been discussed online.

[@cyankoopa8111]

@@MrReverbdeluxe The issue you're having likely isn't the same as what everyone else was faced with- the problem everyone else was dealing with was that they weren't tabbing in the feet all the way, you've probably got an outright defect somewhere with your figure.

[@spartanonymous113]

Great to have you back. And Breakdown is a bit of a let down. They could've easily remolded just the slant at the front plus a line on the Windows and it would have worked. Now it's just a copy of Wild Rider.

[@nameforcomments4092]

Wow! I am going to have to order Dead End and Breakdown online, and I think just due to Hasbro’s distribution I’m probably not ever going to bother with one of their combiners again.

[@TrueKoalaKnight]

Yeah. They really should have re-engineered the legs instead. And if engineering budget was a problem, all they had to do was steal it from Kingdom Sideswipe. It pretty much solves all the issues the lower half has. Prime ground for a pricey upgrade kit if you ask me.

[@ChimpWithaHandGrenade]

Ayyyyyyy

[@TTHBLOX_]

Each of the levacy stunticons feels great to me. Despite each of their own little problems. I didnt even play with them fully until i got them all together. Thats why dead end became my least liked. To my most liked of thr limb bots.

[@CardboardBots]

I only got dragstrip. The stock backpack photo of Wildrider looked awful. Once I heard about the yellowing issues on Motormaster, saw Deadend’s feet, and then the reveal of Breakdown… I decided to take a pass on this set. It’s okay, but other bots interest me more. Swell review. I hope you get to review something you enjoy more. Take care, bub.

Hey lazy eyebrow what is your opinion on the new Titan class nemesis

[@Bjg2135]

I just got dead end

[@astromotive6047]

Honestly, even after acknowledging that Legacy Breakdown is just Wildrider with a few new parts; I still view Dead End as the worst of the updated Stunticons for all the reasons clarified in this video. Awkward proportions in bot mode, sub-par poseability, trying to fudge in a transformation that was ONLY designed with a sleek and slender F1 car in mind, and of course those *ATROCIOUS* legs. Seriously, he should've just re-used Cyberverse Deluxe Bumblebee's leg transformation. That way the large car mass is placed on the bottom of the legs and thus free up the range in said legs, as well as hiding away a set of ACTUAL feet in the large cavity in car mode. Speaking of the car mode, it is just about the ONLY thing carrying this figure in a positive direction. The fact that windows are NOT made of stupid clear plastic is definitely something to be praised and all the hidden mechanical details are beautiful eye candy. It's just a shame then that most people's copies [Including mine] just REFUSE to stay tabbed together around the back without breaking up the flow of the vehicle from the side or a blatant gap down the center of the trunk.

[@DJPrimeAmvs]

It's too bad he doesn't have backward knees otherwise you could've rotate the waist and make the back of the thigh as shins to give him a more unique look

How did you get the feet to behave? I may have bought a defective Dead End in one of those 2-packs. When I changed him into a car, the back of the car (legs) barely clip together and the rear bumper/feet won't come together at all. As a result, the rear fender sits loose from the rear wheel wells and windshield.

[@Ionstorm2002]

Dead End is supposed to be the way you are describing down to almost the last minute detail. In the G1 cartoon itself Dead End and Dragstrip share design similarities due to both being the arms of Menasor. Just like Dead End and Jazz have much in common.

[@TheLazyEyebrow]

The original toys were scramble city types. There was no official configuration until they just drew him the same way over and over again

_shrug..._ I can see your points about the robot mode, but I can't say it bothers me either. It looks enough like my hazy childhood memories of the old cartoon to scratch my nostalgia itch all the same. Not that I was ever planning to get the figure either way. I'm one of those crazy people that was actually satisfied by Combiner Wars... its might still be a highly divergent reinterpretation with some questionably proportions, but I kinda feel the ape-like stockiness suits the kind of bruiser Menasor is supposed to be. Besides, I prefer my combiner teams to actually be fully integrated, not just armor accessories for the leader.
