| |
| | |
| :Warpath transforms into a General Motors M551A1 Sheridan ARAAV tank. There is a notable paint variation on Warpath: while most releases have black-painted optics, some leave the optics unpainted yet cover his entire faceplate in black.
| |
| | |
| :In 1986, he was made available as a mail-away item (as he was no longer shipping to retail shelves) in the [[Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction (G1)|Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction]] flier packed with most boxed ''Transformers'' toys. He cost $4 and one [[Robot Point]].
| |
| | |
| :In Japan, he was made available ''only'' as a mail-away item, costing 500 yen and two Robot Points.

| |
| | |
| :Warpath was reissued in a ''[[The Transformers Collection]]'' six-pack with [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#The Transformers Collection|Bumble]], [[Cosmos (G1)#The Transformers Collection|Adams]], [[Gears (G1)#The Transformers Collection|Gears]], [[Huffer (G1)#The Transformers Collection|Huffer]], and [[Powerglide (G1)/toys#The Transformers Collection|Powerglide]]. There are no notable differences between the original and the reissue versions, aside from a factory-applied foil Autobot sigil decal on his turret.
| |
| | |
| :This entire set was [[redeco]]ed to make the "[[G1 GoBots]]" set: Warpath was used to make [[Treds#Collector's Edition|Treds]].

| *'''Warpath''' (Legends, [[2008]])
| |
| | |
| :''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' (2008) Warpath transforms from an H-shaped, futuristic tank, similar to ''Armada'' [[Megatron (Armada)/toys|Megatron]] or ''Animated'' [[Shockwave (Animated)|Shockwave]], to a [[robot mode]] resembling his original form, right down to the cannon in the chest. Warpath's torso tilts back to become the turret of his alt mode, but it doesn't peg in place, so it's always drooping slightly. He is the only Legends Minibot figure that has moving elbows.
| |
| | |
| :This mold was [[redeco]]ed to make [[Sparkcrusher]].

| |
| | |
| :A rather ''inappropriate'' inclusion in the Minibot ''Spy'' Team pack, the ''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' version of ''Universe'' Warpath has more [[Show-accuracy|cartoon-accurate]] colors and paint applications. Notably his red is more metallic and darker than the Hasbro version. He also uses a darker gray, and replaces the black eyes with gray and the yellow detail on his chest with gray as well. His Autobot symbol is the traditional red with white outline unlike the Hasbro version. He is packed with similarly redecoed Legends-class versions of [[Cosmos (G1)#Henkei! Henkei!|Cosmos]] and [[Wheelie (G1)#Henkei! Henkei!|Wheelie]].

| |
| **''Accessories:'' Missile
| |
| | |
| :Warpath is the sole new toy in the eighth wave of ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' Deluxe Class toys. He transforms from a [[robot mode]] inspired by his original [[Mini Vehicle]] toy into a combat tank of likely made-up origins. A spring-loaded missile launcher is placed on his right shoulder, and rods in his legs and arms are compatible with [[c joint]] accessories. In tank mode, his turret can rotate and his barrel can rise. "K4-90W" and "Z0W-333" ("kapow" and "zoweee") are [[tampograph]]ed on his legs, a reference to Warpath's distinctive speech pattern from the original cartoon.
| |
| | |
| :Following a trend from other ''Generations'' figures, his [[instructions]] depict him with a different head sculpt for a potential upcoming [[retool]], presumably as [[Hardhead (G1)|Hardhead]]. However, unlike various other ''Generations'' toys, the alternate head only shows up in ''some'' steps in the instructions, whereas most steps simply depict Warpath's actual head.
| |
| | |
| :This mold was retooled into ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Strika (BM)#Timelines|Strika]], the [[Blastcharge Strika Drone]], and [[Treadshot (G1)#Timelines|''Timelines'' Treadshot]]. It also served as the basis of the non-toy ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' incarnation of [[Bazooka (BWN)|Bazooka]].

| *'''Warpath''' (Legends Class, 2015)
| |
| :Part of the third wave of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Legends class figures, this new iteration of Warpath is a retool of ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' Legends [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Thrilling 30|Megatron]] with a new head, and hence lacks the chest cannon he usually sports. Undocumented in the instructions, [[Chop Shop (G1)#Generations|Chop Shop]] (or his redecoes [[Beet-Chop#Movie Advanced Series|Beet-Chop]] and [[Beet-Chit#Timelines|Beet-Chit]]) can attach to the front of Warpath’s tank mode.
| |
| | |
| :Warpath also comes with a collector card based on his packaging art.

| |
| :The ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' release of Warpath casts him in a red that is a close approximation of the original toy rather than the more red-brown coloration of the [[Hasbro]] release. He also features silver-outlined (only) Autobot symbols rather than the solid black symbols found on the ''Generations'' version, and lacks the alphanumeric codes on his tank sides. Curiously, his head is cast in red plastic rather than gray plastic painted over brownish red like the Hasbro release (despite no other gray plastic to red plastic changes).

| :Part of the second wave of Series 2 ''[[Bot Shots (toyline)|Bot Shots]]'' launchers, Warpath is a retool of the [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] Flip Shot mold to give him a more Warpath-like head, though [[#Notes|possibly]] Brawl was retooled from Warpath. He turns into a bitty tank, with a spring-loaded transformation to robot mode triggered when his front bumper is pressed. He comes with a large trailer redecoed from [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys|Bumblebee]]'s trailer, and a large circular target that breaks into pieces when hit.
| |
| | |
| :This mold was to be redecoed into [[Onslaught (G1)|Onslaught]] for the cancelled Combaticon 5-Pack set.
| |
| | |
| :The second wave of Series 2 launchers didn't reach mass retail in the United States, and were only available online or in discount stores like Ross.

| |
| | |
| :Part of the first normal wave of [[Micro-Changer]] [[Kreon]]s, Warpath is a [[blindpacking|blindpacked]]-bagged mini-figure, though a stamped ID number can be found on the back of the bag, top-right corner. He comes with an extra part (one 1X1 brick with a stud on the side) to turn him into a tank.

| |
| | |
| :[[Kreon Class of '85]] Warpath has a much more toy-based deco, complete with masked face. The Kreons in this set all use the totally-revamped 2015 style bodies.
| |
| | |
| : He was only available as part of the [[San Diego Comic-Con]]-[[exclusive]] "[[Kreon Class of '85]]" 30-Kreon set. This set was also sold online through [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] after the show.

| **''Accessories'': Logo plate
| |
| | |
| :In 2016, Collection 1 was re-released in a whole new production run for Dollar General stores in the US as part of a large collection of re-released ''Kre-O'' sets. But where most of these releases are nigh-identical to the originals, the re-released Micro-Changer blind-bags use the almost-entirely-retooled 2015 Kreon, with slightly-differently-hued plastics than the originals. (It is possible for some of the add-on pieces to be in the older hues.) Warpath's torso and face [[tampograph]]s have also been reworked to be slightly more detailed, and the formerly-bare legs now have extra detail tampographing on them. The 1x1 top-clip piece is also slightly different from the original, with a much lower-set clip.
| |
| | |
| :Sadly, this release has no individual-identification code on the bag, requiring you to use the feel-through-the-bag method or just buy blind and hope.

| |
| | |
| :Part of the second wave of the ''[[Vintage G1]]'' line, Warpath is a reissue of his ''[[#Generation 1|Generation 1]]'' figure.
| |
| | |
| :Like all ''Vintage G1'' figures, in the United States and Canada, Warpath will be [[exclusive]] to [[Walmart]].

| *'''Warpath''' (2007)
| |
| | |
| :A 35-point "common" character in the [[3D Battle-Card Game]]'s "Energon Wars" expansion, Warpath "transforms" into a red and grey tank. He uses the same parts layout as [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|Movie]] [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]], Movie [[Wreckage (Movie)|Wreckage]], and "Energon Wars" [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]].

| ==Notes==
| |
| [[File:Hardhead-in-WarpathInstructions.jpg|thumb|]]
| |
| *''Generations'' Warpath's instructions, like many from the time, feature an alternate headsculpt. In this case it appears to be [[Hardhead (G1)|Hardhead]]. In late 2013, upcoming product listings inadvertently released to the public included 'TRA GENERATIONS DLX HARDHEAD A9252', although this figure was ultimately never announced or released.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/96540-monzos-mega-hasbro-customer-service-listing-breakdown/ Hasbro customer service listings summary] by [[User:Monzo]]</ref> Considering that a [[Nightbeat (G1)#Generations|Nightbeat]] [[retool]] of the contemporary ''[[Reveal the Shield]]'' [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Transformers (2010)|Jazz]] mold was also originally planned for the same assortment, it seems likely that this Hardhead toy would have used the aforementioned Warpath pretool.
