    Looks amazing!

    Also, sorry to bring this up if someone has already, but I think you meant the Halo Scorpion tank? Haha :)

    I want to preface this by saying my favorite Deluxe size Transformer is Cybertron Downshift, the green muscle car with Wheeljack’s head that was later repainted into Big Daddy. He’s been my favorite for years and while he has his flaws (like any TF toy) he’s pretty much been the gold standard that I measure every deluxe figure against. If that tells you my favorite aspects of a TF toy are “blocky” and “simple”, then you’ll understand some of the reasons why I like Warpath so much.

    This thing is pretty close to perfect in my eyes. Excellent plastic quality (thick and strong feeling), tidy and eye-catching paint, incredibly fun and simple transformation, wonderfully proportioned, wide range of articulation in all the major joints (except for the head, boo for no ball joint!)…really just a wonderful toy all around.

    My only nitpicks, and I use that term loosely since they’re very tiny, would be the lack of a ball-jointed neck and the fact that they scrapped the light-piping for his eyes and used solid black plastic.

    Anyway, long story short Warpath is now just behind Cybertron Downshift for my favorite Deluxe TF. Downshift gets the edge because he's my favorite color (although this will change when the Hardhead repaint comes out) but mostly because his alt mode is absolutely unbeatable. :)

    Okay, I don't what that means. But I'm cool with it. You know it would've been nice if Warpath had a blaster, but I guess his chest cannon, missile, and grenade launchers are a nice touch.

    Love him. Got him from bbts. One complaint-the hand pegs on mine are too big. Did you have the same Eriku?

    They seem to be fine on mine. I've got him holding Generations Scourge's gun and Universe Powerglide's gun. The problem I've noticed with his hands is that they can only hold weapons that don't stick out very far in the back, otherwise those big forearms get in the way.

    Thanks Eriku --- I actually have no problems with mine. The first 5mm pegged weapon I tried was FP Sidearm who has an oval handle that proved difficult to insert. Once i turned to other weapons, grabbing Gen Scourge's gun, etc., he's fine.

    Anyone else notice the bigger eye sized head on the back of the box? Why make them so slit-like in the end product? It looked way better IMO with the larger eyes.

    I just wanted to say, if you bought this guy from KAPOW toys, it's doubly appropriate :D

    The more I look at his head the more I think it's one of the best looking ones in recent times.

    It's an absolutely KILLER mold. Pretty much a perfect update to G1.

    Don't bother hunting just yet. He hasn't been sighted in stores yet, just online at the moment.

    He's definitely one of my favorite deluxes in Generations/RTS despite not doing anything special. Though now I want to get that third party Waraxe or some sort of hammer for him.

    Its been a long time since I got a transformer that I could not put down. From a fun transformation to me not being afraid of breaking him, he's awesome. I've probably done a full transformation on him about 20 times already tonight. I clipped his missle and he looks pretty cool with a little missile sticking out of his shoulder cannon.

    I got mine from BBTS yesterday. I love this guy!! It's a great update to the old figure and transformation is really fun.

    The only thing with mine is, it's missing the gold paint on the vent on his left shoulder. It's there on the right, but not the left. Oh well. I'll have to check my other one when I get home tonight.

    Oh, and why is his fireblast ranking only 7? He's a freakin tank!

    Edit- I decided to see how he looked without the two shoulder weapons. Luckily they're screwed in from the bottom after you unscrew/open up the turret. So I removed the screws and they can actually stay in with gravity as well. I think I like it better without.
