Review - Transformers Generation Drift

[MV75]

And looking at this figure, I'm not sure how much Takara could top this. Most of it is already there. Maybe chrome weapons but that's about it, I'd say. Fine effort and definitely worthy of addition to the Classics line. Blurr will be a blast.

Chrome wing, chrome roof air vent, Dr1ft numberplate, chrome exhausts, etc.

I'm still not buying this one because I still don't know who Drift is.

For everyone else, it'll sell well because it's a car and comes with swords. The kids will eat this toy alive.

This mould would have been pretty good at runamuck and runabout.

I'd have to agree with you on that one.

My Drift came with two right hands!!

So somewhere out there must be a Drift with two left hands!

+2. I'll wait for Blurr.

Heh. I'm planning on making a photocomic that will explain Drift's 1980s G1 origins.

I don't know anything about Drift as a character. I did get an overhyped feel about him though, like Boba Fett in Star Wars or (dare I say it) the attempts to make a backstory to make Grimlock more interesting and more than he actually is.

However, being a new mould meant I got him. If he was a repaint of something else I would have thought twice.

Yeah I dont know a thing about the character. Dont read the IDW comics. I just love the toy.

Lets hope not literally otherwise Tfs might get canned and its all Drift's fault not the stupid kids who seem to not understand the difference between food and not food .

Having just recently bought the piece , it is a nice figure, and yeah the shoulders tend to get in the way of am movements, I find the foot just resting there a weak point for it as well - am I missing something or does it lock onto place anywhere?

Addit - does anybody know what that kanji on the doors mean? IS it even really a Chinese/ Jap character or just some made up scribble made to look like Kanji?

[kup]

I think its Cybertronian made to look like Kanji. Can anyone confirm?

[Lint]

I remember reading somewhere that the kanji was sposed to translate as 'samurai'
