Review - Transformers Generation Drift

[FFN]

If there's a weakness with toy Drift's design (and it's probably partly to do with Guido's original design which, being based on G1 Boss, didn't take into account articulation), it's his limited shoulder articulation.


I narrowed toy Drift's car mode down to a genericised Mitsubishi FTO (the comic model used a Nissan Silvia), mainly because of how the vehicle looks from the side and the back.

It was a faux Skyline GT (the model before the one currently used as Alternity OP) in the one appearance it got in the comics (on a cover none the less)

Drift as Boss? Botcon idea!

Flash = GF Autovolt/Crosswise
Scorch = GF Inch Up/Dirt Boss
Hurricane = Henkei Mirage

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

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

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

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.

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

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.
