Drift Facts

"Before time began there was... the Cube. Then Drift came along, gave it a roundhouse kick and told it to get a job. That is how our race was born."

hahahaha - I love this.

I quite like Drift, and am keen to learn more about him, but the fanANGER about the character, saying he's a gary-stu and all that - I just reckon it's great a fan got to create a character that's now a TOY!
What's more he's Aussie! 8D

And today - I just got my Drift kit! WOOO~

Thats so funny......

I think people dont like him because they dont like change...To have a character change so much might be a bit much for some people.
I like him because hes such a different character and of his origins..

The grass is always greener on the other side, unless Drift has been there.
In that case the grass is most likely soaked in blood and tears.

When Drift talks, everybody listens. And dies.

Contrary to popular belief, there is indeed enough Drift to go around.

Drift invented black. In fact, he invented the entire spectrum of visible light. Except pink. Starscream invented pink.

It takes Drift 20 minutes to watch 60 Minutes.

Drift can touch MC Hammer.

When Drift goes off-roading, he never gets dirty. The dirt gets drifty.

Change and difference aren't the reasons why I dislike Drift. If I were the kind of person who doesn't like change then I might possibly be a "Trukk Not Munkee Gee Wunner."

The criticism against Munchkinlike Gary Stu characters is that because they're so omnipotently supreme, it allows the character to complete their journey all too easily. As a result there is little to no substantial development and any complications you may throw at the protagonist becomes meaningless. It's like going through a game on God Mode; there's no real challenge or sport to it.

Stan Lee has often said that a hero is only as good as his arch-nemesis, and that the villain _must_ be more powerful than the hero. This is because the greater the antagonist, the greater the complication for the protagonist. Despite Superman's godlike powers, he is still often thwarted and outsmarted by Lex Luthor. If not for this, Luthor would be a useless villain. And even Superman has his weaknesses; aside from Kryptonite he has several character flaws and issues that he has to deal with.

Drift reminds me of the opening epilogue in "Kung Fu Panda." Again, I reckon I could just replace 'Panda' with 'Drift' and it'd work...

------------------------

Legend tells of a legendary warrior...
...whose kung fu skills were the stuff of legend.

He travelled the land in search of worthy foes.

"I see you like to chew. Maybe you should chew on my fist!"

The warrior said nothing, for his mouth was full.

Then he swallowed. And then he spoke.

"Enough talk. Let's fight!"

Shashabooey!

He was so deadly in fact, that his enemies would go blind from overexposure to pure awesomeness.

"My eyes!"
"He's too awesome!"
"And attractive."
"How can we repay you?"

"There is no charge for awesomeness. Or attractiveness."

Kablooey! It mattered not how many foes he faced. They were no match for his bodacity!

Never before had a panda^an Autobot been so feared! And so loved. Even the most heroic heroes in China^on Cybertron, the Furious Five, bowed in respect to this great master.

"We should hang out."

"Agreed."

But hanging out would have to wait. Because when you're facing
the 10,000 demons of Demon Mountain, there's only one thing that matters and that's...

--------------------------------------------

Anyway, whether you love or hate Drift, I hope you're all enjoying the humour in this thread.

I think that's an oxymoron, Goki. (I know what you meant. )

A couple more:

Only God is perfect. Well, he thought he was, but then he met Drift.

And, to plagiarise myself (Sorry Lugnut! http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showth...9012#post59012):

The past twenty-six years of Transformers weren't actually production-model toys - they were just prototypes for Drift.

"In the beginning was the Drift, and the Drift was with Primus, and the Drift WAS Primus."

I just got a PM from myself telling me that all other transformers are boycotting my avatar out of fear and Drift must be used.
