Warpath (G1)
Warpath is an Autobot in the Generation 1 continuity.
Warpath is the stereotypical tank commander: loud, boisterous, confident in his skills, devoted to his buddies, and probably a little deaf. His armor is tremendously thick; his skull no less. He loves to show off his skill by splitting hex nuts a mile and a half away, and he has an endless variety of special munitions to load in his prized main gun: cryogenic, acid, thermal, or sonic. His most favorite, however, are the simple explosive shells that destroy targets with a huge KABOOM!
His gun...how Warpath loves his gun. Prominent and useful in both modes, she has saved his life countless times, and she gets only the best in return. How he loves to line her sights up precisely on a barely visible target, and KAZOWY! blow it to shrapnel with a single well-placed shell stuffed with the finest high explosives and fitted with Wheeljack's very best armor-piercing tips. A dud annoys him; a miss is near-fatal embarassment. A mere scratch to his beloved gun's barrel keeps him up late into the night polishing it away and recoating the pristine surface. On the few occasions when his gun sustained damage serious enough to impair her function, he was practically unapproachable for weeks.
Warpath is strong and tough, and fairly fast over rough terrain, where he can go up to 30 MPH. On the best road, however, he can not go much faster than this, and it becomes a liability, fortunately compensated rather well by his tough armor and deadly shooting. His treads, however, are vulnerable to damage, and most embarassing of all is his near-helplessness when upended in vehicle mode; flaws in his design prevent him from easily transforming and righting himself.
