Warpath has a unique (POW!!) form of tourettes (KAZOWIE!!) that compels him to (BLAMMO!!) interject (ZING!!) onomatopoeia (WHOOSH!!) into his speech (KATANG!!).
*It can either be endearing or annoying, depending on your preference.

I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler
I'm a long way from my home
If the people don't like me
They can leave me alone

G2 Sideswipe
Everything goes with black, especially green neon. Remind me again how these are supposed to be "robots in disguise".

Cosmos' tall sister.
A sister from another mother, Pathfinder towers above her dumpy little brother, Cosmos. This is a rare example of the GoBots toy being better than its Transformers equivalent.

G1 Gears and Swerve
I don't remember which, but either Gears or Swerve was my first childhood Transformer. I recall the transformation sequence better than the colors of the toy.

G2 Starscream restoration.
I used a set of G1 stickers to cover Starscream's nakedness because ToyHax didn't have a G2 set of stickers. I've also acquired a horizontal stabilizer and missile since these pictures were taken.

G2 Volt restoration.
The G2 Laserrods are the only Transformers that I know of that use O-rings at the waist. Similar to their Hasbro cousins, G.I. Joe, the rubber eventually degrades over time, making a trip to the hardware store necessary.

G2 Jolt refurbishment.
This is one of those projects where you discover more than you bargained for. The electronics were shot, the O-rings had rot, there was cola contamination in the body, and one of the screw posts was sheared off.

G2 Hero Megatron
In case you didn't know, Megatron lets you know that he rules!!
This toy has an air-powered rocket gimmick for more eye-shooting power.

Beast Wars II: Apache vs Megastorm
Apache was known as B'Boom in the US.
Megastorm is a redeco of G2 Megatron with the electronics removed.
The VS series was Japanese packaging of the existing toyline which paired a Maximal against a Predacon.

G1 Wheeljack restoration.
This toy was originally brown from smoke damage. Soaking it with Bar Keepers Friend returned it to its near-former glory. New stickers were applied many years after its cleaning.

G1 Sixshot dental work and cleaning.
The wolf mode of Sixshot ate some Play-Doh many years ago and required extensive dental work to remove the hardened clay. He cleaned up nicely and although not pictured has a fresh set of stickers.

Most G1 triple-changers do two things well and one thing poorly, Sandstorm manages to be great in robot and both alternate modes.

G1 Runamuck and Runabout sticker upgrade.
The G1 Battlechargers Runamuck (white Pontiac Firebird) and Runabout (black Lotus Turbo Esprit) use a pull-back motor to propel the car mode forward triggering an "autotransformation" into robot mode.

G1 Overdrive restoration.
Costing $5 and 4 Robot Points, Omnibot Overdrive was available in the US and Japan as a mail-away exclusive in 1985.
This was an early restoration and I learned to NOT use 90% alcohol on painted parts like the hood of many G1 cars.

G1 Mirage restoration.
This toy is commonly found broken at the waist because of a weak mushroom peg. I previously repaired this toy by drilling out the broken peg and replacing it with a bolt and nut.

Comprised of the armaments and other loose bits of Metroplex he doesn't wear when it's casual day at work.

G1 Metroplex sticker upgrade.
I replaced the boring stickers that come with Metroplex and he now looks like a more lively city. G1 Scrabble City combiners are designed to interface with and expand the size of the city.
