Toy Review - Generations Warpath

[Vector Prime]

Received this guy yesterday from Robotkingdom and must say that I was quite surprised how small he is in alt mode - he's about the same size as HFTD/AA Hailstorm/Mindset in alt mode.

I found the transformation on him quite clever and intuitive - I especially love how his head pops up when you push his tank turret in.

In bot mode, he's still on the 'smallish' side but still quite reasonable next to other deluxe figures - he was a Minibot in G1 after all.

He's well articulated and quite easy to get into various poses for display value - however his ankle does lack a fair degree of movement due to the transformation sequence.

The only thing I dislike about him is the ridiculous length of his shoulder missile, but this is easily rectified by applying a pair of side cutters to it.

Seeing that he's on the tail end of the Generations series and may not even get launched here, he's a definite must buy at any price.

Even if you have to mail order him (that's if you can find an online retailer that has stock), buy it!

Overall, 9 out of 10

I also love this guy

+ Colour is spot on
+ Cool yet simple transformation
+ Robot Mode (K4-90W)
+ Head Mold
+ Roller tread feet (ZOW-333)
+ Great articulation

- Shoulder weapons should've use clip on system and been removable
- Alt mode small H-tank
- Back of tank suffers from TFA:Blurr syndrome
- Popeye forearms


Overall 9/10

I don't have TFA Blurr... please elaborate?

Popeye forearms are cool! Makes him look tough... lol

I don't have TFA Blurr... please elaborate?

Maybe a slight exaggeration but I just feel he is missing something on the rear end of his alt mode.

hmm

Right... I get what you mean now, but that's a bad thing?

It doesn't bother me in the slightest

I was being a bit picky. I love the mold and character. I could've also said I wished his head flap cover folded all the way back in robot mold

It also doesn't really bother me as he will be staying in bot mode forever

This guy is total awesome and is a great homage to the G1 toy and character.

And I still can't believe someone voted 'Not Interested'

You call yourself a TF fan? Shame on you!

Any news about this guy's local release?

Any news about this guy's local release?

Besides the email that Hasbro sent as a reply (which can be taken with a grain of salt since we all know how reliable they are), there's been no real sightings or other news regarding it's local release.

It doesn't bode well for a local retail release since even RK haven't re-stocked after they sold out of the original batch and BBTS still haven't received their stock yet (originally slated for March release)

Thanks for the info.

I hope United also releases him as that would increase the available numbers of this figure.
