A source in HK have provided a small picture of what might possibly be Generations or Reveal the Shield Warpath. Details are scant at the moment, but we will post up any updates when we receive them.

Interesting. I think I'll wait to see the robot mode before committing, though.

News Credits: 11 · Wed Jan 26, 2011 7:51 pm

Oh wow, that looks potentially really awesome, I hope it's true!

Very interesting how the general shape looks the same as the Legends version. It's almost as if the Legends thus far have been teasers for what's in store. Haha, now of course I won't be needing my Legends Warpath if this turns out to be legit.

Wed Jan 26, 2011 7:53 pm

Ooh, nice! I hope this is Warpath.

News Credits: 1 · Wed Jan 26, 2011 8:02 pm

I hope it's true too. Does anyone else think this looks a bit like the tank half of Flywheels?

Wed Jan 26, 2011 8:05 pm

Ha! I knew it ever since I saw him in the Rodimus vs Cyclonus comic. He was in a picture with RTS Grapple, Lugnut, Frenzy, and Generations Tracks. What I'm wondering is that in the same picture is Devestator... And since everyone else has gotten a toy version... Hm...

Cool, looks kind of like Armada Megatron!

Just a FYI, this thread was posted first

If that one is already front paged, please do not FP this one.

Hopefully this warpath will be given a better release than the legends one got, that entire wave just never showed up over here. Im hoping bot mode looks just as good as alt mode, i really want a warpath.

are those 5mm weapon clip points I see?

Wed Jan 26, 2011 8:50 pm

It's legit... It's also a deluxe unfortunately. See the 5mm clip on locations?

What he said.

Ok this just makes me mad. I know that releasing nothing but deluxe figures is easier for them. But couldn't they just please cut back a little? Seriously what they did to Thunderwing was bulls**t, and now they're breaking their Micromaster formula of being stupidly huge!

I really wanted a voyager warpath. *sigh* :-(

I smell a Guzzle repaint after this...

Well, if it IS Warpath, it's probably an Earth mode version, as it looks nothing like the WFC Cybertronian version; I can tell even from the canon barrel.

Ether way, if it looks good, I'll buy it nonetheless.

Wed Jan 26, 2011 9:21 pm

well off the bat i can tell that the turret is pointed in the wrong direction. i think i can make out the back of the head on top of the turret, and those silver bits on the sides of the turret look like joint covers for where the arms attach. the tank treads on the right side of the image look like they form the legs, and the bigger treads on the left side look like they swing up to the position of the silver parts of the turret to become the shoulders. basically it looks like the transformation is pretty similar to animated shockwave, with the exception of the turret forming the chest. lots of 3mm clip spots, i see at least 4, one on each of what i believe form the limbs. :-B

this looks to be pretty cool, i just hope the color is a tad brighter for the final release, but honestly i wouldnt care, hes bought. besides, how many maroon transformers do we have?

Wed Jan 26, 2011 9:23 pm

I hope this is true. Now for that arcee and SS.

Wed Jan 26, 2011 9:27 pm

Is it only me or the mold of Warpath in the pic looks like a deluxe or voyager?

If it does, it's another case of a minibot turned into oversized just like Powerglide :-?

News Credits: 5 · Wed Jan 26, 2011 10:00 pm

If this is legit, I love it.

Wed Jan 26, 2011 10:21 pm

he better be detailed to all hell, since warpath really doesnt need a hand held weapon. That cost should be allocated some where else, like better articulation for example.

I will second that sentiment...whole-heartedly!

I'm actually glad that this one appears to be done in Deluxe sizing. For one thing, that makes it cheaper and for another it leaves it closer to it's prior incarnations and therefore a bit more recognizable (hopefully). My own kids have been enjoying the fact that a lot of the G1 stuff is being redone but they really only show the most interest in the ones that actually closely resemble the originals. They love how the Seekers and Coneheads turned out and are excited to get their hands on Wheeljack but Powerglide was a snooze for them and Seaspray was so-so and it was mostly due to size. I have the original Warpath and the new Legends class one and my kids love how the new one is updated style but same size as the G1 version. They'll go for a deluxe size (as will I) but after that, no deal.

FINALLY!

News Credits: 10 · Wed Jan 26, 2011 11:52 pm

Please let this be Warpath, it looks awesome. Though, does anybody else get the feeling the turrent is pointing in the wrong direction?

News Credits: 16 · Wed Jan 26, 2011 11:55 pm

And I was beginning to wonder why I haven't seen him yet. Nice to know this is still happening.

News Credits: 5 · Thu Jan 27, 2011 4:17 am

Nice, I loves me some Warpath. He shall displayed next to Legends Mini-me Warpath.

Not sure that he's a good candidate for a Guzzle repaint though, since Guzzle distinctively has his barrel mounted on his back (like Brawl, or Bombshock). Unless it's detachable using the 3mm system? That could be cool to allow for alternate transformations.
