The Energon Pub

So, yesterday I bought the G1 Season 2 volume 2 set. Yesterday was Tuesday, so in order to prepare for the second half of Season 2 I spent Monday night watching a lot of S2, v1. I can't remember which episode it was but the Autobots need Warpath to blast a trail through some undergrowth so they can trail the Decepticons. The exchange I wish to draw attention to went something like this......


Prime: "Warpath, we need you to blast a trail through this undergrowth so that we can track the Decepticons!"

Warpath: "Ok, Prime, I'll *blam!* blast a *POW!* trail right through *ka-pow!* this undergrowth and *powee!* we'll be able to *blamm!!* trail the Decepti *kablam!!* cons!"


Here's my question. Freedom, being the right of all sentient beings, allows for Warpath to utilize his characteristic vocal delivery. But don't you think that at some point or another, time being a factor, that Prime or anyone else would just scream out "Warpath, shut the **** up and talk noramally????" Just wondering.

It isn't his fault that he has Turret's syndrome.

Ha! Brilliant.

quick thought.

am I the only one who wants to hear warpath cover black eyed peas?

"BOOM! BOOM! POW!"
:p

G1 Optimus Prime wasn't a dick to his men like Movie or Animooted Optimus Prime.

He wouldve told him to shut the eff up it Dr Smoov was voicing him.

Maybe Warpath is a fan of that guy in the Step Brothers film.

They didn't want to make fun of his speech impediment.

Thats why they put it in a children's cartoon.

I doubt I would start screaming at him, but I'm pretty sure I'd laugh my head of right in his face! I have a tough time trying not to crack up at the wrong moment.

Probably the only thing that kept Warpath around was the fact that he was a military vehicle. Think about it from Prime's point-of-view:

PRIME: "Let's see: We're fighting an evil army of giant robots that are comprised of a buncha fighter jets, some tanks, a handgun, a...camera (really?), and a tape player that moonlights as a zookeeper to some birds and a cat & a couple ADHD goobers. What do we have at our disposal, Prowl?"

PROWL: "A bunch of cars and trucks."

PRIME: "Military cars and trucks?"

PROWL: "Nnnnno...regular cars and trucks."

PRIME: "Do we have any military-themed vehicles?"

PROWL: "Well, Hound's a military jeep--"

PRIME: "That's...it?"

PROWL: "Yep. Then we have Dinobots--"

PRIME: "I...prefer not to use them if I can avoid it."

PROWL: "We do do have Warpath. He does turn into a tank--"

PRIME: "One. Tank. And that's it? Crap. Well, beggars can't be choosers."

Warpath = tourette/turret. I think that was the intended pun from the cartoon writers.

Agreed, the onl one prime ever gave lip to was blaster for the music he played.

And I hated it when he did that... that's the only time I disliked Prime.

HaHa...Dr. Smoov is frigging nuts! That guy is great!

While we're asking questions...why did'nt Starscream in ghost form just possess Galvatron, take that huge orange cannon, stick it to his head, and pull the trigger? I know the answer, as does everyone else, but Transformers have intense logic issues.
