Warpath is anAutobot from theAnimatedcontinuity family.

Gone before we could even saybam! pow! hello.

Warpath is a member of theCybertron Elite Guard who reported toMaster Yoketron. He's got a rather surly, confrontational attitude, and a big gun. In his chest. He also has a tendency to take the law into his own hands, and has been reprimanded numerous times for being a bit too rough with the prisoners in his care.^[1]

Did you know that he's dating Flareup?

It's a cannon in my chest, ok? I am not happy to see you.

Warpath ordered an Autobot force into battle onHydrax Plateau during theGreat War. Presumably, most of them got killed byOil Slick'sCosmic Rust.Bots of Science

He took a young and rebelliousProwl to Master Yoketron after the bot tried to escape participation in the later stages of theAutobot-Decepticon War. Warpath made it clear that he believed that those who don't fight the Decepticons aren't any better than the 'Cons themselves. Prowl gave him some lip, and Warpath was tempted to take him on, until Yoketron told Warpath that he had it under control. Warpath left grumbling about Prowl being a "draft-dodging peacenik" but not without uttering a "bam, pow" first.Five Servos of Doom

When Yoketron was killed by the traitor Lockdown, Warpath was devastated. He struggled to find an outlet for his aggression, and modded his sonic radar into a cannon.The AllSpark Almanac IIAt some point during the war, Warpath lost his leg, which was reattached by the medicMinerva.The Stunti-Con Job

So, uh, no toy, huh?

Near the end of the war, during theBattle for Iacon, Warpath was shot in the back and seriously wounded. The Autobots won the battle, asOmega Supreme defeated most of the Decepticon army.Ratchet walked past Warpath's unconscious body while looking to help the heavily damaged Omega.TransWarped

Warpath survived, and millions of years later, was seen in a crowd welcomingSentinel Prime and the captured Decepticons on Cybertron (albeitlooking a little smaller than he used to).Decepticon Air He was back up to full height when he appeared to cheer forOptimus Prime and his crew when they returned to Cybertron triumphant.Endgame, Part II

In the days that followed, Warpath agreed to help Minerva meet her idol, Ratchet, and brought her to aStunt Convoy attended by Sentinel Magnus and Ratchet's colleague Optimus Prime. After an unproductive encounter with Sentinel, Warpath was reluctant to let Minerva literally chase after Optimus, but gave in, and before long they met up with the Autobot hero atIronfist's workshop. That evening, Warpath attended the Stunt Convoy's debut show with Minerva, and his attempts to keep an excitedGrandus in line caused him to bonkWheelie on the head with his cannon.The Stunti-Con Job
