Warpath is a character that I don’t know too much and also not really a big fan of him when seeing him in cartoon. He got screen times here and there but was pretty much a comedy character to make people laugh and never serve a major role around two leaders. He does have some fan base but just not me. Same feeling goes with his toy when Hasbro released his product images in the last of Generation line in 2011. I thought I would skip him but after a video review, I found I like him and want this figure.

Warpath’s alternate mode is a …… tank with two section treads. Well, at least I know none of any real life tanks look like this. Same with all other none car Transformers, Warpath comes with none functional treads with four tiny wheels for rolling. It of course doesn’t roll well but the treads do not line up well at the bottom so I’ve afraid of rolling him will actually cause scratches on his nicely painted silver tread. Talk about paint, Hasbro actually did a good job on painting him which is rarely being seen lately. This tank feels a little bit small but with lots of details. The turret is fully rotatable and the gun can have certain degrees of angle to point up. Almost none of robot kibbles can be seen in tank mode. The only down side is the missile. Due to toy safety, it needs to be certain length long but that totally ruined the whole look. If you don’t mind, simply cut it is the best way.

Warpath’s transformation is quite puzzling for the first time because all parts are hiding pretty well in tank mode. But after couple times, the transformation scheme is pretty simple and well designed. The best part is pushing the main gun in to pop out his head. This is a very cool design as initially I’m always wondering how they hide that lengthy gun in his robot mode. Looking at Warpath’s robot mode, my first impression is “he is so clean”. Many modern Transformers looks quite busy with panels or parts hanging here and there, but not Warpath. Body, legs, and arms are just there. Clean. No kibbles or parts to block any movement. He is very poseable and because of his long feet, he is very well balanced. Only the feet are lacking ankle movements otherwise will be perfect. The main gun and rocket/missiles are all on his chest and shoulder which leave his hands empty. But finally, he comes with standard fist hole which can hold any standard Transformers weapons or any applicable. This is a huge welcome back as I really dislike open hands. He also four additional c-clips (two on the arms and two on the legs) to clip on any additional weapons you can find. Overall, a really nice and balance robot figure to either play with or display.
