That quintessential 'Fl...Oh, Cosmos was cool... That quintessential 'Flying Saucer' design, straight out of the B-Movies (or trick photography, at least). Definitely one of the most unusual TF toys of the time.<br /><br />If they were to remake Cosmos in his original form, in a larger scale, he'd probably end up being a shell-former... and most of the attempts to redesign him to a similar scale or larger have been a bit dull. I guess, with all our contemporary sophistication, we've lost the knack of imagining interesting flying saucers...Gordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06528405483770868212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6035193998266419227.post-7429183323081855962013-09-22T12:50:13.646+01:002013-09-22T12:50:13.646+01:00Since we're sharing First TFs, Mine was Cosmos...Since we're sharing First TFs, Mine was Cosmos.

It's interesting to note, looking back on the toyline in the 80s versus the way it's handled now, that one could start collecting with the smallest/cheapest option available and still pick up a unique character. Now... it's mostly the same characters in different size classes.<br /><br />Back then, if you'd been presented with Warpath in three different sizes (let's say Mini, Diaclone-size and something like the full-sized Headmasters from '87), which one - if any - do you think you'd have picked? And what set Warpath apart from the other options on the shelves/racks?Gordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06528405483770868212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6035193998266419227.post-19604782148718927972013-09-21T11:14:42.175+01:002013-09-21T11:14:42.175+01:00Nostalgia, my very first must have been G1 Warpath...Nostalgia, my very first must have been G1 WarpathTomsche69https://www.blogger.com/profile/17175996032103612678noreply@blogger.com
