A quick comment: Back to G-1: Review A-VII Teletran-1

This is my first Warpath toy and I bought it on Jan. Xxix, Mmiv from Image Anime which cost me $XXXV. I had always wanted to own him when I was a pup, now it's becoming a reality.

R-0 Original Warpath's motto and tech specifications:

Affiliate: autobots | Subgroup: none | Function: warrior | Alt. Mode: tank |

| STR 9 | INTL 5 | SPD 2 | ENDN 8 | RNK 5 | CRG 9 | FRPW 7 | SKL 10 |

Original G1 Warpath Motto:

"A good shot is worth more than a good intention."

Original G1 Warpath Bio:

Thinks he's more impressive than his comrades do...likes to show off his sharpshooting. Boisterous, loud-mouthed...raucous sense of humor makes him welcome company. Vain--upset by even the smallest scratch to his gun barrel. Can go 30 mph over roughest terrain, hit a hex-nut 1.5 miles away. Shoots explosive, thermal, cryogenic, acid, and sonic shells. Great strenght, but helpless if upended.

These images were all photographed and scanned by me. If you're a Transformers fan, this will definitely bring back some reminiscences.

R-1 Warpath in its Original condition:

1 - Warpath in its brand new condition from the box, front and back of box.

2 - Here's how it looked once you opened the cover revealing some of the contents.

3 - Here's how the content looks once the box was removed revealing contents on clear plastic tray.

4 - These are all the contents that were included in the box/ package/ card: "1" volkswagen car, "1" 4WD off road truck, "1" semi American truck cab, "1" ufo space craft, "1" A-10 thunderbolt II jet, "1" sheridan tank, "6" trading cards (Bumblebee, Gears, Huffer, Cosmo, Powerglide, and Warpath), "1" instruction sheet, "1" miscellaneous text sheet, "1" world art featuring those 6 characters in their original G1 art, "3" data files (image of Warpath, Gears, and Huffer), "2" pages dreamwave art with toy catalog (Sky Lynxx, Giftset of Optimus Prime, Mirage, and Red Alert, Transformable watches featuring Ultra Magnus, Galvatron, and Superion. Mini transformable Choro Q of Prime and a white version of assuming Ultra Magnus with Prime trailer).

R-2 Pre-Applied Decals/ Stickers:

There are 3 Pre-Applied sticker that had been applied onto Warpath. The first one is the regular Autobot insignia which located on his chest. The second one is a rectangle sticker which placed on his waist. The last pre-applied sticker is the Autobot Rub Sign logo located on the back of his feet.

Sticker Sheet:

Warpath does not come with any sticker sheet.

R-3 Warpath in Vehicle Mode:

Warpath in vehicle mode is a Sheridan Tank whose measurement is approximately 2 11/16 x 1 1/8 x 1 6/16 (LxWxH in inch). There are three wheels (2 in front and 1 in the back) underneath him so he can be rolled on the ground. Warpath turret or cannon barrel can be rotated at a full 360 degree. And if you don't mine his face lit, the cap or lit can be opened revealing an inner space just like the real tank.

R-4 Warpath in Robot Mode:

In robot mode, Warpath is very stable thanks to his huge feet. The turret or cannon barrel can also be rotated in robot mode as well making Warpath one of the most unique Minibots to have an articulated upper torso. In both mode, Warpath has no negative drawback so you can be rough on this toy when playing.
