Toy Review - Generations Warpath

[gdmetro]

hmmm mine's still in the pre order pile still.... hmmm BBTS must get more Warpaths

Don't worry man- I Just checked my e-mail and my warpath case has processed!!! Should be okay for others too!!! So excited for warpath!!

Did you order a case? I did and I know others have who have the same problem. Ive read elsewhere that this might be because BBTS are filling the smaller orders with warpath first since they are lacking warpaths.

Yeah, I ordered a big case to go halves with my brother. It's in stock and paid for as of this morning now. Plus, the shipping is automatically express due to the size of the order - 8 Deluxes and 3 Voyagers, $250 including shipping - not bad, plus no need to hang around Kmart and Target like some creepy pedo waiting for them to turn up in stock.

The bigger stores need to learn that kids will generally only buy one of each figure and that stocking 200+ (ugly) Payload figures isn't going to work out in the long run.

...and he's arrived (along with whole bunch of other TFs...)


It was only sent Thursday!

Now that I own him, I have to say he is the single greatest figure I have purchased this year. Fun to transform, the auto-morphing for his head is kinda cool. Love the silver paint on the treads. Head looks great.

Only drawback is the feat not being super poseable, but then again, neither for his G1 counterpart

Mine is still on preorder Please come soon.

This fig is amazingly cool. When I first heard about Gen Warpath I was like yeah- another classics fig... but after experiencing it in hand- nice.

Alt mode is okay... I don't mind it. The transformation is simple, but effective. Love the little automorph gimmick.

Bot mode is just awesome- head/face sculpt is perfect in person.
Poseability isn't the greatest- due to the way the forearms and legs/waist are engineered. Also does not have a waist/chest swivel in bot mode- so has to turn to face his targets I suppose.

Very minor nitpicks:
-Long missile- wonder if Takara version will shorten this? (Easily fixable)
-"Kapow" lettering- don't like that - always seems tacky.

Overall very nice- it is a must buy. period.!!

Re: Hardhead:
Took apart the head- its not on a ball joint-but if the remould is indeed Hardhead, there is potential to have the headmaster sit in the tank cockpit

Wont it be too large of a head if it was the headmaster figure ( on the supposedly Hardhead repaint) used as a head?

Sorry.. I mean to say "stand". The headmaster (if there is one) has to fit.. since the head has to fit within the same width of the hole.
