Path Finder
From MediaWiki
- Path Finder is an Autobot from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Path Finder is one of six explorers from an alternate dimension, come to Cybertron and Earth to seek out a solution to a threat against their home. She has joined the Autobots, keeping their origins a secret, and communicates with Treds, the leader of the trio who have infiltrated the Decepticons. She is a high-ranking Guardian in her home dimension, a calm and rational leader with great wisdom.
Path Finder is clearly intended to be the character from the Hanna-Barberra cartoon based on the Tonka GoBots line. Her name does not appear on any of the final product materials; the name was only given in an early Photoshopped promotional image from the e-Hobby website. The individual toys' names were dropped when Takara's legal department became concerned at how Bandai --the company that made the toys that would become the Tonka GoBots-- would react to the names being used, despite the minimal chance of provable trademark infringement on Takara's part.
