Review - Transformers Generation Drift

[GoktimusPrime]

i really like his legs. they're what i wished henkei sideswipe/sunstreaker had.

I prefer sideswipe/sunstreaker's legs. Two things I don't like about Drift's legs:
1/ Too chunky - get in the way of some dynamic leg action. Last night I had Drift fighting Smoulder, and I tried to get him to do some leg trapping, but t'was impossible cos they're so chunky
2/ The feet/shins don't lock in tightly, so they keep slipping out during play.

Nice transformation, not a big fan of the feet though, and I cant seem to get the sword sheaths/doors into a good position.

I position them as far down as possible. Works well and usually don't get in the way during fights.

Pretty awesome toy otherwise, and the two extra short swords are a great idea, and well hidden.

One cool trick Deceptic_Optic showed me is to open one of the car windows a little bit and slide the big sword in there. It fits pretty well and works as a makeshift sheath! I don't do it too often cos I don't wanna wear out the joints on those windows too much (bad enough I'm wearing out every other joint from playing with this toy so much ). But yeah, it lets you pose Drift with two swords in one sheath which looks more Samuraiesque.

I just noticed that the toy has more of a BW Tigatron face than comic Drift.

I've had Drift for a day now. My thoughts are that he's not as cool in person as what he seemed in the pictures. He's pretty clunky and doesn't offer much in the way of poses. His legs have to be straight and sometimes he cant decide which is his dominant foot.

For now I have him posed like this:



Definitely better quality and appearance than WFC Optimus, but Optimus wins in the poses category.

i dont like his head to much, i thought it could of been a tad better looking .

Oh yea, his head only goes forward and back. No turning sideways like Optimus WFC. Optimus pretty much has unlimited range of movement with his head.

His head can turn side to side.
