Took a long time but here he is for anyone who missed the WIP hes a non-transforming but very posable scratch build from bionicle and an academy 1:35th scale sheridan kit , the head was resculped from RID Optimus and the hands came from Marvel legends first apperance Ironman . Afer taking these pics i realised maybe the painting isnt quite done yet but as he is just going on my shelf i dont mind to much. Thanks have to go to Timshin for the inspiration to build this, looking forward to seeing his movie Soundwace soon, and maybe a Warpath after?.

Next up movie Arcee gets a new head and G1 redeco then maybe i'll finish the Stunticons.

Wow that is awesome!
That thing must be huge, but I have a feeling that you could have made the legs look a lot cooler, they kinda look iffy, but the torso- is one of the coolest things ever!

thanks, iffy sounds about right for his legs spent ages planing his feet kind of forgot i had to attach them to the rest of him!

My sox have been rocked.

WOW!

i haven't seen much love for G1 Warpath in these boards, but he rocked hard as a cartoon character and especially in the old comics. it's nice to see an updated version of him, never mind the transformation.

this is a work of art and you could do some weathering effects on him (since he's for display only) like Red Primer or something, make it flat, not glossy...you know, the works... :grin:

That would be sweet! And there could be Powerglide and Seaspray, too!

Awesome custom! I like the detail and articulation on this warpath.

it may not be transformable, but this is one kick-ass bash!

Warpath finally getting respect ZAP!

(You should understand that last word....right?)

Really cool work, I like the shoulder mounted machine gun nest.

My only suggestions would be to replace the wheels on his arms with treads and maybe do some drybrushing on him here and there to dirty him up a bit especially the faceplate.

Bloody Hell that's nice!

Posted: **Sun Oct 21, 2007 9:12 am**

hmmm, methinks he's going to wrap up those wheels in rubber ALA Beast Wars Rampage (or maybe not). just thought that way since the wheel set has a wide central groove, perfect for running through a piece of model-kit tank rubber treads.

Sir, that Warpath rocks hard, and I believe you do as well!

Posted: **Sun Oct 21, 2007 2:07 pm**

Thank you all so much it means alot to get so many nice comments from people whose work i have admired for some time and who have helped to inspire me to have a proper go a kitbashing this was my first scratch build and its cool to see Warpath is getting alot of love here , also your suggestions for improvements have been taken on board and Warpath may well be back sometime , thanks again

WOW. That is definitely very cool. Now if you make one thats transformable I would die in a pool of salivation!

Does it transform?

Posted: **Mon Oct 22, 2007 2:15 pm**

I like this very much. I hope you had fun working on it. If you do any more detailing, etc I hope you post more pics.

Nice work.

I do hope to get around to my version of a 1:35 scale Warpath in the future as well. I have all the parts I need. Just need to schedule the build. I'll probably go with a bulkier bot than yours, but we'll see. Bulkier equals shorter, so I'll see what comes to me.

Again, great job. Keep 'em coming.
