I really wanted Warpath to be any class EXCEPT deluxe.
Yea, he looks great, and yes I'll still get him but ARGH!
All the other minibots were upgraded to, at least, voyager size.
I was hoping he would be too so he could stand with Seaspray & Powerglide, etc* with my alts and MPs. They fit in very well!
I would prefer if they would create all the minibots in Scout class, though. For me that would be perfect.
* Note, I'm using Energon Beachcomber and Energon Ironhide (AKA Gears) to round out more of the minis.

Bumblebee and Cliffjumper were Deluxes and Windcharger is a Scout. What do you make of that?
Thundercracker, Wheeljack and Warpath can't come fast enough

Seriously, right? You think with all the toys they've been stealing from factories, they could at least steal themselves a nice camera while they're at it.

Warpath looks really skinny next to Wheeljack though.

Didn't a previous picture of him have KAPOW ("KA-90W" or something like that) on the side? Did they change it or is it on the other side?

It's still there. Remember how they did Universe Powerglide? And he had those little number tattoos on both wings? Well, we're getting the same for Warpath as well.

Hurry up and release Wheeljack already Hasbro - February is almost finished and it'll be a few weeks after that before he's available over here!

I got my damn birthday money just after the preorders sold out at Kapow, and now I'm fucked for em

As far as Wheeljack goes I'm a bit cautious. I saw Peaugh's online review and the one thing he pointed out was a height issue. Can anyone comment on this? It seemed like he didn't or couldn't slide his legs down for height like you would for RTS Tracks. So in the video he did seem a bit short and stumpy looking. Same goes for the pics in this topic. Could that be a QC issue or can his legs really slide down and extend? If anyone knows please give us the word on that.

Granted he looks awesome but too bad I couldn't say the same for Powerglide. I do plan on picking up Warpath but he won't be Warpath in my book because I already have him as a minibot. I just need to come up with a name for him.

Height wasn;t his only problem. Peaugh also noted that his lower legs are disproportionately wide.
After all is said and done, I'm still buying him. He's still a good fig all things considered, and one of the few [if not only] G1 accurate remakes of Wheeljack...that is, until a possible TF Prime WJ comes along.

Especially since I preordered it from BBTS with Thundercracker.

Yes, he's short - just like Tracks because the legs don't extend. IMO it suits him to be a little short as he's the cool mr fix it guy for the Autobots and it's nice to have some height variety between figures. The legs are quite wide but again I think it suits him.
We may never get another neo G1 Wheeljack figure (look how long it's taken to get this guy) so I would snap this guy up if you get a chance regardless of inadequate height/fat legs if you're a fan of his.

Yup. He could be the only chance in a long time to come to get a G1 homage/update of Wheeljack.

Don't be too hung up on height. View their height as reformatting. These figures pay great homage in other respects.

It'll be a delicate job though, involves lengthening the slides inside his legs (they were shortened because otherwise the slides are visible in bot mode a little bit, but that really doesn't bother me).
Because of the way the legs are designed, you can't even just switch the slides out with a pair from a Tracks figure. Has to be modded.
