G1 WARPATH 1985

Warpath most distinct features in the series was his twitch. If he was a human he might have had turrets syndrome
He loves battle and experiments with different types of ammo. His favourite are explosives so he can write Ka-lam!
He has a rivalry with Blitzwing as they both have tank modes
He did not get his own spotlight episode. He just plays the soldier,  says something strange then blows things up. He has a Texan accent.
Warpath first appeared in "Dinobot Island " he did not do much but fight and in the "Golden Lagoon it was pretty much the same.
He did get a bigger part in " The Decepticons reign in King Arther's court" Don't ask. I was so implausible. They find this time portal and go back to Camelot. I have know idea what it was a bout. Was it a cancelled episode of Merlin.
In "Hoist goes to Hollywood" All the Autobots are out looking for glory.
He does not appear in the G1 movie but in "Five faces of darkness. He is defending the Arc from Tripticon. he gets kicked by him and goes flying. That was his appearance.

In the comics he came to earth the same way as the other minibots. he was the same soldier as in the cartoons.
In appears in "Galvatrons spotlight" and is blown up by him.
he was assigned to Thunderheads Pass where his job was to watch over Thunderwings body. he just sat there watching.





MOTTO: " A good shot is worth more than a good intention"

FUNCTION: Warrior

ALTERNATE MODE: Tank

TECHSPEC: " Thinks he's more impressive than his comrades do..likes to show off his sharpshooting. Boisterous, load mouthed..raucous sense of humour makes him welcome company. Vain..upset by even the smallest scratch to his gun barrel. Can go 30 mph over rough terrain, hit a hex nut 1.5 miles away. Shoots explosive thermal, cryogenic acid sonic shells. Great strength but helpless if upended."



SPEC: Strength 9, Intelligence 5, Speed 2, Endurance 8, Rank 5, Courage 9, Firepower 7, Skill 10

Robot mode

Front view


In tank mode there is no kibble whatsoever like Seaspray. He has a rotating turret. his main gun does not move though. He has wheels so he can be rolled along.
I think his turret is a little small for the figure.

Not much to say but a nice little red tank.


You must be careful when you put him back into tank mode by pulling the turret forward otherwise it will break.

His robot mode has no feet but the front of the tank.

He is nice looking though and his proportions are not bad. I wish his tank turret would push back a little further.
The face is on the other side of the tank hatch.

Articulation is basic.
He has hands which is good

His face is detailed. Eyes are painted in and detailed mouth plate.

Warpath has his signature tank gun sticking out of his chest. This is fine and he gets away with it.


There is not much more to say and I would recommend him but don't pay more than five pounds for him. Good to add to your collection.
