About Me: I have been an avid toy collector ever since I was a kid. My favorite toy lines are Transformers, Star Wars, and GI Joe. I decided to make a website called www.actionfigurecustoms.com to capture all of the customs that are being bought and sold on eBay. I hope everyone finds it useful and please email me with any questions or if you have a custom you would like me to blog about, let me know!

Warpath Generation 1 Transformers Custom by Jin Saotome

"A good shot is worth more than a good intention."

Life was much simpler back in the 80's. There were very few toy lines to keep kids happy, which included the smash hit Transformers. The toys were also much simpler to transform back then. Warpath, for example, simply needed a pull of the torso and a lift of some arms and a a head and and you were done! There something magical and nostalgic about the first minibots and Jin Saotome has captured that nostalgia with this Custom Transformers Warpath minibot. As far as capturing the essence of what a G1 Transformer is, this could be possibly be one of Jin's best customs to date. Here is how he created this one:

"The main body was the Classics Megatron 2-Pack Ultimate Battle Megatron but his arms are Movie Dreadwing's legs! If you open Dreadwing's waist and widen the holes on the legs they fit right inside Meg's shoulders. The legs were trimmed down so they folded forward and I whipped up some wrists/hands for him. Warpath's head is a modded Movie Long Arm's head. I crafted the front cannon out of the old Megatron's cannon arm and part of Cybertron Longrack's crane hydraulics. We use every part of the buffalo here, hah! The paint job is two tones of red and has tons of panel lines and shading. There's a little hatch-camera-eye on the top you can move around and he comes complete with a rubsign on the front of the vehicle just like the G1 version. There's rare earth magnets (one under the rubsign) that hold the cannon and camera-hatch on. I hope I paid the little guy homage with this figure, enjoy!"

Jin definately paid homage with this figure and you can have a chance to own this peice of Transformers Generation 1 history with this Custom G1 Warpath figure.

More about Warpath
Warpath thinks he's a lot more impressive than his comrades do. Certainly, no one would argue with his sharp-shooting ability. It just seems at times he's more concerned with showing off than the welfare of the Autobots as a whole. But his boisterous, loud-mouthed personality makes him welcome company and his raucous sense of humor can bring cheer to the gloomiest situations. Only one thing seems to upset him: any small nick or scratch to his gun barrel. He's both very proud and very vain about his weapon. His comrades fear that if his gun ever suffered anything as big as a dent, Warpath might be too depressed to speak for a month!
