    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.

    So that would mean that Drift should be in theory be the pinnacle of Transformers technology for articulation and be perfect in every way

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

    The reason Drift isn't in Last Stand Of The Wreckers is because IDW would have had to change the title to The Last Stand Of The Decepticons. And it would have only been one page long.

    There's nothing to fear but fear itself. And Drift.

    Some bots pray to Primus. Primus prays to Drift.

    Drift can set ant-droids on fire with a magnifying glass. At night.

    They once made Drift toilet paper but it wouldn't take crap from anyone.

    Drift doesn't dodge blaster rounds. Blaster rounds dodge him.

    Drift sold his Spark to Unicron for his dashing good looks and unparalleled martial arts ability. Shortly after the transaction was finalised, Drift roundhouse kicked Unicron in the face and took his Spark back. Unicron appreciated the irony and couldn't stay mad, admitting he should have seen it coming. They now play poker every second Wednesday of the month.

    Drift has already been to Mars. That's why there are no signs of life there.

    The chief export of Drift is pain.

    Crop circles are Drift's way of telling Earthlings that sometimes corn needs to lie the hell down.

    The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse actually live in Drift's glovebox.

    Drift exiled Neo from Zion. Now Neo is "the Two."

    Drift knows where Carmen Sandiego is.

    Drift is what Willis was talking about.

    If you have five credits and Drift has five credits, Drift has more money than you.

    Drift once broke the land speed record while standing still.

    Once a Sharkticon threatened to eat Drift. Drift showed the Sharkticon his fist and the Sharkticon proceeded to eat himself because it was the less painful way to die.

    A Handicap parking sign does not signify that this spot is for handicapped people. It is actually in fact a warning, that the spot belongs to Drift and that you will be handicapped if you park there.

    There's no such thing as tornadoes. Drift just hates trailer parks.

    Drift is never sad, because when he starts feeling down he roundhouse kicks himself and it makes him feel better since he knows he is the only one who can survive the roundhouse.

    Drift beats paper, rock and scissors!

    There are actually three sides to the Force: the light side, the dark side and Drift.

    Most bots drink oil. Drift refreshes himself by drinking napalm.

    Drift doesn't believe in Polyhex.

    Cybertronian scientists have conceded that if Unicron were ever to successfully devour Cybertron, all that would remain would be Drift.

    When someone opens a can of whoopass, Drift jumps out.

    Drift got a perfect score on the Autobot Academy final exam by writing "Drift" for every answer.
