Warpath Into Brawl Idea

So I'm sure you guys saw that one thread that had the listings for Generations Arcee and Warpath. Most of you should know that I'm totally hyped for a proper scale for him.

However I was disscusing with another forum member about what the mold would look like, since hasbro seems to want to get the most out of their molds with repaints into different characters and what not. The problem is, Warpath is incredibly iconic as the Autobot tank who has his cannon in the center of his chest. No one else shares that feature from what I know.

The other member mentioned it's possible they flake out and put the cannon somewhere else like on his shoulder to give more chances for a recolor into another character.

Well I've found a solution to use the same body,with a slight transformation using already existing joints within the figure, for another iconic Tank character, Brawl!


Idea obviously inspired by Streaker and swipe aswell as Tracks and Wheeljack.

I know, it's a really bad and quick drawing but, you get the idea right? All they have to do is remodl the head of course and using the chest swivel and a swilvel joint on the barrel, the chest cannon of warpath could switch around to the back and the rest is self explanatory.

Warpath flat-ish back makes for a good chest for Brawl while the other way around would work well for Warpaths chest and Brawl having a bit of a backpack.

Good idea? Kay cool!

Re: Warpath Into Brawl Idea

I think it's a great idea, but though we haven't seen pics of the actual toy, according to the comic art that came with one of the sets lately, it looks like it's gonna be a fairly stubby barrel, likely without any joint. I'm kindof expecting a Quake homage or something out of it.

Re: Warpath Into Brawl Idea

So in other words pit's a Punch/Counterpunch alternate transformation.


Hasbro get cracking at this at once.

Re: Warpath Into Brawl Idea

I can see that happening...a mold that's highly useful in repaints, and slight variations to allow more characters.

We need another mold that can topple that Universe 2.0 Sunstreaker mold

Sunstreaker/Sideswipe/Punch/Counter Punch/Red Alert/G2 Breakdown...and who knows who else in the future?

So if this awesome tank mold can do Warpath and Brawl, we might even get Micromaster Bombshock, Grand Slam, another Bludgeon, G2 Megatron, E-Hobby Treads, Legends Sparkcruncher, Reverse Convoy, Doubledealer, Overlord, Micromaster Bigshot, Sparkabot Guzzle...the possiblities are mind-boggling.

Even various homages like Go Bots Blaster, Go Bots Destroyer, Go Bots Defender, RID Armorhide, etc.

I wonder if Hasbro has thought this many steps in advance

Re: Warpath Into Brawl Idea

Until we actually know what the mold looks like you can have all the ideas in the world of what it could do, but until we know what it's capable of doing any ideas are useless.

Hey, we're collectors and guys...we fantasize, it's what we do.

Weren't you one of the guys to imagine a live action movie of TFs 13 years ago?

LoL not gonna lie...I thought the idea of a live TF movie would be cool but I couldn't imagine it being pulled off...

Suffice to say I'm satisfied with the result...it'll never be perfect because perfection is perceived differently by everyone but what we have got is a visually stunning experience with a somewhat compelling storyline. It's easy to take pleasure in the live action films when your expectations are low :P

The main reason I also don't see this happening...

Single barrel on the back...similar head...green...sure he's an Autobot but the resemblance is uncanny. Hasbro tries not to do too much of the same in too little time, so if it does happen don't except it soon thanks to this guy.
