    There are quite a few cool bits and bobs coming soon that will give my wallet a bashing.

    Silently, I’m hoping that not much happens with this until 2019 to space out some of those purchases!

    I am shocked I didn't catch the double meaning before I hit send. Are we still doing phrasing?!?

    Me too. All dick talk asside, Warpath a minibot toy he might be, but it would be unacceptable to have him too small as a display piece.

    I don’t know, I was feeling like that too, but about the size of a maketoys downbeat would be cool in bot mode

    IDK, something tells me he will have a small altmode. Even with the backpack, I don't see much there to expand out like BC's did. I think really, they made the altmode small as a sacrifice for a better bot mode.

    Yep, I agree. But I really hope they can engineer it somehow to fold out/expand into a little larger than Downbeats altmode. Dont ask me how, I just hope it.

    Editl: Also I know it will never be, but I would pay good money for a blue redeco.

    It doesn't look like he will have functional treads

    FT's Seaspray is regrettably small, when you stick him beside the rest of the BC, DX9, or XTB minis. I'm hoping that FT's newer minis, including Warpath, have a bit more presence.

    I don't know who designed that thing , but it is dog ugly. It's like a bad country song, he must have been going through a divorce with his wife taking his cars and dog. Just a bad day for them.

    I second that, I hated the sunbow model for him. FTs might not be accurate but it's a well made and extremely poseable little bot, if a little over engineered.

    What’s the obsession with moving treads? Have you messed with Zeta Brawl? That thing is god awful, and they shouldn’t have done working treads. Same with TW Constructor. The treads are more of a problem than a luxury.

    I mean, they look cool but yeah, I can see why they'd be a hindrance

    I have the TW Constructor V2 set and find it pretty amazing and all... but not without some amount of grief. Joints that should be more loose are brick hard, and joints that should be more stiff, can be loose. I wish Scrapper's shoulders/arms were tighter...

    ...but so far [knocking on wood], there's been no issues with the tank-treads. They give you extra of green and purple. But for one of them, I actually reduced the treads by one clasp and found to functioned better.

    IMG_20180818_184509~2.jpg

    That said... I hadn't even thought about the possibility of real tank treads on FT-41 Sheridan.

    Hmmm... if perfectly executed, it could be an engineering marvel!

    But in terms of scale, Warpath was a mini-bot, right? A rather large mini-bot.

    The figure's size would be a prime determining factor in whether tank-treads had any feasibility.

    Does anyone know FT-41's dimensions?

    Given how slim Sheridan is in comparison to BC's Wardog... I can't imagine how one could engineer an alt-mode Warpath capable of doing any of these scenes... unless that bot-mode is larger than a mini-bots.

    As far as tanks go... I only have a Ditka. But given the size of KFC Ditka and DX9's Gewalt, one has to consider how large Sheridan's tank-mode will be.

    The Warpath VS. Blitzwing tank war alone calls for a sizable figure... let alone the alt-mode battle with Ramjet.

    But we can imagine alt-mode will likely be smaller than the length of a masterpiece seeker.

    tf_rotf00105-27790-1024-1024-80-wm-left_top-100-Unicroncomwatermarkpng.jpg

    I can live with maybe a tank-mode about the same size it a little bigger than FT Willis in bulk, but MMC Sphinx in length.

    IMG_20180818_185047~2.jpg

    But I guess this is all pointless speculation without dimensions.

    Until then... does anyone have pics of BC Wardog and KFC Ditka in tank-mode together, or engaging in their tank-war?

    A minibot in toy form. We should not let that confuse us. There are depictions of his altmode as you put them where he was larger, and I believe robot mode as well where he was around carbot size. To me that is the best avenue.
