Warpath (G1)
Warpath is an Autobot in the Generation 1 continuity.
Warpath is the stereotypical tank commander: loud, boisterous, skilled, confident, devoted to his buddies, and probably a little deaf. His armor is tremendously thick; his skull no less. He loves to show off 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, and sonic. His most favorite, however, are the simple explosive shells that go off with a huge explosion, 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. A dud annoys him; a miss is near-fatal embarassment. A mere scratch to his gun's barrel keeps him up, late into the night, polishing it away. When on occasion his gun is damaged seriously enough to impair her function, he is practically inconsolable 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, his stout courage, and his deadly skill. 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.
