'''Air Raid''' is a headstrong member of the [[Aerialbot (Prime)|Aerialbot]]s who would rather fly into a group of Decepticons instead of gunning them from afar because it's more fun. This attitude often puts him and his comrades in danger, though he almost as often tends to get them out of it.

During the Decepticons' assault on [[Iacon (city-state)|Iacon]], Air Raid and [[Jetfire (WFC)|Jetfire]] assisted [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus]] by fighting off hordes of aerial Decepticons. As part of Optimus's plan to rescue [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Zeta Prime]] from imprisonment, he and some other Autobots allowed themselves to be captured and taken to [[Kaon]]. Just as they were about to be "recycled", Air Raid appeared outside the prison cell and destroyed their would-be executioners. However, after freeing Optimus' team, he was captured. Optimus, [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]], and [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] fought their way through the prison and managed to rescue Air Raid, who helped them stage a prison break for all the Autobots detained in the facility, and showed the way to [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]]'s lab, where Zeta Prime was being held. While Optimus' team rescued Zeta, Air Raid led his fellow Autobots back home to Iacon.

When [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] began turning his orbital station's cannon on the Autobot position, Air Raid joined Jetfire and [[Silverbolt (WFC)|Silverbolt]] in assaulting the space gun directly. Air Raid had previously been reluctant to follow the acrophobic Silverbolt as Aerialbot leader, and saw himself as a better choice. When the majority of Silverbolt's battle strategies inside the station centered around "Shoot the Decepticons and blow some slag up", though, Air Raid thought better of his appointed leader. As they continued their internal sabotage of the gun, the Aerialbots were suddenly shocked when the gun started ''taunting'' them -- it seemed Megatron had incorporated a Cybertronian entity known as [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]] into the platform's core, giving it a malevolent sentience all its own. It was Air Raid who realized if Trypticon was a Transformer, he'd also have a [[conversion cog]]. Blasting that would revert him back to his primary mode, and stop the bombardments. The Aerialbots destroyed Trypticon's cog just before he got a target lock on Optimus Prime's position, and the newly-transformed giant fell down to the planet below.

Air Raid and the Aerialbots provided air support for Optimus and the Autobot troops on the ground during their struggle with the monster after he hit Cybertron. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)}}

During the Great War, Air Raid acted as a trainer for [[Autobot rookie|new recruits]], leading them around a course and instructing them in basic combat. After sparring with the Autobots atop a building in Iacon City, Air Raid was happy to follow Optimus into battle.

'''Warpath''' is brash and boastful, always keen to show off his prowess with his giant cannon. Not only is it violently powerful, but it's extremely accurate, even over a range of a mile and a half. It gives him the confidence to charge headlong into battle against the [[Decepticon]]s. Unfortunately said cannon has also made him slightly deaf, so speak up, would ya?

:''Voice actor:'' [[Jamieson Price]]

Warpath was among the many Autobots who defended the [[Decagon]] during the [[Decepticon]] invasion of Iacon and helped clear a path for the future [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] and his team. After Optimus became Prime following the death of [[Sentinel Zeta Prime]], Warpath joined Optimus and [[Ironhide (Prime)|Ironhide]] on a mission to Cybertron's infected core. After successfully cleansing the core and defeating a corrupted Spaceslug, it turned out that their journey was pointless; the core had to deactivate itself in order for the planet to survive, which would take millions of years. As Warpath and Ironhide displayed worried glances after Optimus proclaimed that the Autobots must leave Cybertron in order for them to survive, they bore witness as Optimus received the Matrix of Leadership from the core.

He later helped evacuate Cybertron during the big shutdown, and presumably survived [[Trypticon (Prime)|Trypticon]]'s rampage. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)}}

==Notes==
* In "Gathering Troops" on the Autobot DS game, and "The Plot forms" on the Decepticon DS game, he is seen using a plasma ranged weapon in the combat range, but once you play as him, he uses a plasma ranged weapon.
