Warpath is an Autobot from the Animated continuity family.

Gone before we could even say bam! pow! hello.

Warpath is a member of the Cybertron Elite Guard who reported to Master 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 on Hydrax Plateau during the Great War. Presumably, most of them got killed by Oil Slick's Cosmic Rust. Bots of Science

He took a young and rebellious Prowl to Master Yoketron after the bot tried to escape participation in the later stages of the Autobot-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 II At some point during the war, Warpath lost his leg, which was reattached by the medic Minerva. The Stunti-Con Job

So, uh, no toy, huh?

Near the end of the war, during the Battle for Iacon, Warpath was shot in the back and seriously wounded. The Autobots won the battle, as Omega 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 welcoming Sentinel Prime and the captured Decepticons on Cybertron (albeit looking a little smaller than he used to). Decepticon Air He was back up to full height when he appeared to cheer for Optimus 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 a Stunt 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 at Ironfist's workshop. That evening, Warpath attended the Stunt Convoy's debut show with Minerva, and his attempts to keep an excited Grandus in line caused him to bonk Wheelie on the head with his cannon.

• Like his Generation 1 counterpart, this Warpath uses onomatopoeic words in his sentences, ("Bam, pow!") though they don't dominate his speech patterns.
