Toy Review - Generations Warpath

[gdmetro]

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.

Really lovin this figure

[kaiden]

+great design & update to G1
+fun to transform
+great range of movement

-red is kind of dull (and not vibrant enough for my own tastes)
-no voice chip with KAPOW, BLAM and so on.
-shoulder weapons are kind of stupid and non detachable
-hands cant rotate

best warpath toy ever.
