Transformers: Generations
Warpath
“BOOM! KA-POW!”
No, that’s not me looking for a new expletive to replace “awesome”. That was two of the catch phrases that the Generation One Transformers character, Warpath used during the cartoon’s initial run. It was his trademark. Like Seaspray’s gurgle, or Sky Lynx’s pompuous English accent, or Starscream’s penchant for inept coup attempts that end in his getting bitch slapped by Megatron.
Warpath was one of the Autobots that arrived on Earth with Optimus in the first season of the show. He was prominently featured in the episode, “A Decepticon Raider in King Arthur’s Court” and is a guy who loves his gun. You can imagine him rolling along, chanting Gny. Sgt. Hartman’s cadence call “This is my rifle, this is my gun! This is for fighting, this is for fun!
The package is the same as all the recent Deluxe Class figures; a carded bubble. It’s a great way to showcase the toy and protect it at the same time. The back of the card has some prototype shots of the toy. The lighting of the studio shots really is misleading, making you think that the toy would have some shiny paint applications, but flip it over and you’ll see that it’s cast in color with a few tampographed graphics.
Does it suck that it’s not painted in shiny metallic red?
Yes and no.
