Dead End And Tracks

This is NOT a discussion on whether Dead End should have been Sunstreaker or Tracks should have been blue.

 

This was my first real look at them, getting real bored with all the "discussion" on the problems associated with them.

 

Interesting that Tracks doesn't come with a handgun.

 

I like Dead End's vehicle mode. Sure it is the same as Side Swipe's but I think it looks just different enough. What, with Side Swipe being open top and Dead End having a roof. I was thinking it might have been nice if there was a few more remolds to the robot form, perhaps. But there probably wasn't anything that could be done to make changes (other than the head). I don't think it would have been TO difficult to incoporate parts of Menasor into the figure, would it?

He isn't pictured with one. All the Alternators/BTs have an engine (realistic replica, y'know), and I don't think I see an engine split in two on the backs of his legs. And the hood does appear to be hinged..

Dead End also has a gold face, like the G1er.

 

And even if Tracks DOESN'T come with and engine gun, he's still not hurting for firepower

Originally it was implied that all Alternators would have their engines turn into their guns.

We've seen Track's engine gun on other posts of him... he does have it.

Hound however I realized does not.

So I guess Engine Guns are no longer a staple of this line.

I am so tempted to get both, then put Dead End's head on Tracks, and vice-versa.

[Doc Evil]

That is assuming their head/neck joints are compatible. And even if they were theres still the question of if the transplanted head inside the altmode

 

Still, its an interesting concept

I think you would have to paint the heads a little though. A black head on a such a yellow body would look weird. And a white head on a black body provides a lot of contrast. Good idea though for someone with some paint savvy.

Yeah, the arm guns and such do look pretty cool.

Tracks is ok, but I hate the white head/red face thing. It looked daft enough on G1, I thought that was the one part of his colour scheme they would change
