And so it has started... They now need to redo all of the 1986 Minibots so they can all match on my "Cybertron Seven +2" display...
I don't mind him, but how did they manage to make feet proportionally bigger than the old one? Lol. Tank is really nice though.
Warpath joins Skytread and Wheeljack as the newest member of the "Siege Boat-Shoe Crew"! (Prowl, Bluestreak, and Smokescreen have their own club, "The Hightops")
It's irrelevant that he's shorter, it has no bearing on his cost. It's the parts count. A Core class figure is even smaller than Cliffjumper/Bumblebee and Warpath is bigger than them. I don't get why people think height dictates price/value. He has a tank turret in his chest, he's armed better than almost everyone.
It\'s perfect. It\'s exactly the way I wanted him. (Well, maybe I could do with less hollowness on the inner sides of the feet. But other than that...) I Just ADORE the head sculpt. The whole figure is exactly like an update to the G1 figure. My Generations Warpath may just have to become my Cybertronian version of the character. It\'s WIN-WIN.
Looks like a fine figure. Design isn’t really for me, I think Warpath is a character I prefer a modernized-take on as opposed to the Sunbow accuracy this figure is going for.
I think he looks brilliant but listening to Tonton talk about how stupid he thinks the design is was really frustrating. No one made him leak this early so if he's going to steal Hasbro's reveal at least try and sound happy about it or maybe stick to revealing stolen toys that he actually likes.
Negatives: Too large for a minibot, too small for a deluxe No major paint or accessory upgrades to justify price Turret too far back Turret too bulbous Stubby cannon Gap in tank front Crimson paint doesn't match crimson plastic, white showing through the paint White instead of gray tread paint H-tanks are a tired idea Bot torso has a small gap on either side Face proportions seem off, leading to a null expression Too much white showing in bot mode No faction logo in bot mode A lot of hollow/waffling in the arms and legs Kibbly feet in the back Positives More accurate tank mode than 2011 figure More accurate bot mode to G1 cartoon than 2011 figure Works with blast effects Well-articulated Closer to scale with other deluxes than 2011 figure Cannon elevates For me, the negatives probably do outweigh the positives, but I can see how someone could be convinced the other way with the scale and design accuracy. For my tastes, the use of white plastic and white paint is baffling, there's no reason at all for the white plastic since the white paint is already going over red midsection and looks the same, this was a big blunder for a buyer like me. Maybe if the final figure includes blast effects I could get into this, but without that, at full MSRP it's a hard sell.
He\'s toon accurate... sure.... But I have Generations Warpath, like many here. So this isn\'t a satisfactory upgrade for me in terms of this character. I don\'t dislike the mould though. Give me an interesting Decepticon repaint please and I\'m in.
Wow, great looking Warpath! I like the idea that Warpath is the biggest mini-bot! It would have been nice to see some silver or gunmetal gray on the figure but I know the red and white are G1 accurate. A larger muzzle for the tank barrel would have been cool as well. Isn't the figure supposed to come with a "shield" though? Did TonTon's supplier forget to steal it too?
He\'s not bad decent even but I don\'t see myself owning a character who was in like what 15 episodes of g1?
I mean.... it'll be nice to have a new modern Warpath to help round out the minibots. And size-wise he looks perfect. I'll be picking him up. But objectively-speaking, that's a pretty dopey-looking figure. Not a big fan of the headsculpt. I think from a purely aesthetic standpoint, not taking G1-iness into account, the old Generations figure kinda mops the floor with this one. The only thing this one does better is looking like the G1 character and having ankle tilts. Also, I think his turret could benefit from having a wider piece at the end. Right now it looks like he has one big mono-nipple on his chest....
When people whine about Hasbro not listening more to the fans: *gestures broadly* "Kingdom Cheetor isn't show accurate! Waurgh!" "Kingdom Warpath is show accurate! Waurgh!" This way lays the path of madness.
This guy looks pretty cool, a nice update to the G1 figure. It\'s a shame he doesn\'t come with a weapon. I\'d love to see this guy repainted into treadshot, BM tankor, or Strika.
