I agree that it was stupid having it sticking so far out like in G1 days. Animated made the same mistake with its design. If he turns around, he's gonna knock stuff over like that.

The Legends class resolved the issue by having the cannon retract into his chest. It's the best solution, it's practical and keeps the G1 look, and I think that's what they'll probably do this time.

 

Will definitely pick this one up. Is this a Legends reissue? If that's the case I hope they rerelease Cosmos and Beachcomber.

 

Well I probably thought of them more as cars with special features. I was never much into action figures, but I used to love stuff like toy batmobiles and James Bond vehicles with flip-out weapons and ejector seats. There were never any diecast action-figures, so I mentally associated them with my cars and stuff.

What really impresses me, is that transformers have reached the point where they're now more posable than the average action figure. Most other toys are a bit rubbish compared to transformers.

 

Nope, it's a completely new figure (Deluxe class too).

Personally I'm sorta hoping that the tank cannon itself doesn't end-up as his chest cannon. I'd rather him have a better looking false-cannon on his chest than the one he's got in alt-mode.

Saw this over on 4chan. Looks like the prototype pictures for the patent.

 

Cool find Gamofsteak. Looks like Warpath to me. Whats all the fuss about?

 

Helo there crossover TF / Halo. How long till a radicon gets this and turns into a Halo Scorpion tank?

And the toy looks great.

 

Everything about this toy looks sweet. Hasbro is freaking making my year with both Wheeljack and Warpath.  

 

Is this the same toy as the one that was on the TFW2005 news just now? The "Prototype Generations Warpath Toy Revealed" or something like that?

 

Exact same toy except colored.

 

Really loving that mix of old and new on the figure. Way up there now on my must buy list.

 

This tiny pic combined with the gray scale one gives us a pretty good idea what the thing looks like.

 

If that's the exact same toy as the Japanese prototype, then this is in my top three to-buy figures. In no particular order: DoTM Shockwave, RTS Downshift, and this guy.
