Renegade Rhetoric

Warpath was a Decepticon hailing from an unknown universal stream when Cy-Kill found him in Axiom Nexus. He was recruited into the Renegade cause by Cy-Kill during his time in the offworlder sector, and helped Cy-Kill recruit new Renegades and acquire useful technology. Cy-Kill believed he and Blades would make excellent compatible partners once they returned to Level 1. Warpath and Cy-Kill fought against Fright Face's Predacons in the Heap before Cy-Kill secured their loyalty to the cause.

At Cy-Kill's command, Gong transported them to Cy-Kill's home universal stream.

"Echoes and Fragments"

Warpath existed in a tangled universal stream where Sideways and Gong were deliberately blending elements of the GoBots and the Transformers. Warpath and Clutch were present when Galvatron destroyed Zero, and nervously accepted him as the new ruler of the Renegades and Decepticons. Echoes and Fragments

Go-Bots comic

Warpath was one of Cy-Kill's Renegades, long after the fall of humanity. When Thruster travelled to Gobotron's organic core - in fact the long-forgotten planet Earth - he was sent out along with Water Walk to gather primitive humans for Cy-Kill's "experiments", using a large net to scoop up a dozen of them. Turbo and Spay-C tried to intervene; while the former tackled Water Walk, Warpath was able to evade Spay-C, who was knocked off-line by Thruster's defences.Issue 4

Toys

GoBots version

GoBots

Super GoBots

• Warpath (Super GoBots, 1984)
  • Enemy Robot Apache Copter
  • ID number: 020
  • Accessories: Four-bladed rotor

Warpath was released by Tonka in the second series of GoBots, and converts from robot to Hughes AH-64 Apache attack helicopter. The toy was a repackaging of Big Apache Robo from Machine Robo, with no significant changes. Why Warpath was a new character the toy looks about as much like Wrong Way as Spay-C looks like Spay-C. Perhaps an attempt to balance out the sides? The figure features a notably satisfying way of incorporating the rotor into the robot mode, fanning out in the middle of the chest. Warpath has articulation at the shoulders and the elbows. The helicopter mode has retractable undercarriage.

• Warpath was issued as part of the second series Enemy Super GoBots Assortment 1 (#7252), manufactured in 1984. The figure remained available as part of the Renegade Super GoBots Assortment 2 for the third and final series. Unlike most of the other second series Super GoBots, Warpath received a new box for the latter, featuring artwork taken from the Robo Machine release and the name now parsed as War Path - whether this had anything to do with the Transformers figure Warpath is unknown. The rear of the third series box also included a character biography.

L*For bilingual Canadian packaging the alternate name Cruel was used.

Notes

• It is not known why Warpath was ignored by the Challenge of the GoBots cartoon; possibly to avoid confusion with Wrong Way, which might have perplexed either kids watching at home or legendarily incompetent story editors Jeff Segal and Kelly Ward.
• Warpath's Cybertronian-style body in the "Cataclysm universe" is modeled on Classics Divebomb.
