Flippancy aside, is Drift really that bad? I mean, I don't see anyone harping on when Grimlock marches over a bunch of drones or Scorponok deals with Hot Rod not even on panel. It seems that resentment that AHM took over from "-tion" fuels a lot of these snipes. Powerful characters are not new. Even Monstructor as combined mode handing it to omega back in the Prime spollight was over the top.

Drift in comparison has had one moment of "coolness". Just b/c he's not a fan favourite and can get away with doing "silly" things doesn't mean we should keep bashing it. Grimlock is a perfect example of a character that fans cling religiously onto w/out ever questioning his actions and "bad ass" nature. We've heard the complaints, do we really need to hear it where its not even about it?
