Well we do kind of need a new Drift toy since this one isn't being made anymore, right? Hasbro could just take this mould, update some bits like its articulation, and re-release it like they did Titans Return Blurr. Edit: I need this for my MTMTE shelf.
@@Jcc2224 I'd take that. I recently finally read MTMTE and Lost Light and decided to try and get the characters from it on a shelf. I managed to snag Takara Generations Skids from Ebay and I love it so much. I feel like Hasbro could re-release that one as well, though it definitely needs some touch ups in terms of articulation.
I'd rather get a new legacy figure with some added articulation and detail. I think it's unlikely Hasbro still has a mold from 20 years ago, but who knows, maybe? Lego destroys their molds, but Hasbro might have different policy, we have been getting rereleased G1 figures, but I was under the impression those were brand new molds based on the originals.
@@keilafleischbein59 Well if they did the same with Titans Return Blurr I can't see why they couldn't do the same here with Drift. Even if its new they could just do like you said and copy the original mould, but improve upon it where necessary. Like, not having his sword be some rubbery piece of shit that'll probably be bent out of shape even brand new out of the box.
I remember seeing this toy at Target and his design immediately got me into buying not only him, but all of the idw comics he was in as well. He was my fave autobot for a good while, and im surprised this version is the only one out there after all this time (at least from Hasbro)
I mean, if we don't need a new one at least a reissue of this one would be nice, in my country it's pretty much non existent or goes for stupid high lol
I found him! The toy of my childhood! Idk where this guy is now since I have lost most of my old figures for some reason. I have gotten into transformers again the last year but finally ik what that drift figure I had as a kid was. I will try to track him down for a nice round of crying due to loss of childhood
I have the Deadpool version. It was the first Grail piece I tracked down when I was early into collecting. It will always hold a special place in my heart
I just love Transformers toys? Not everything needs to be super prefect no hollow bits no ball joints super intricate figures for me to like it, I appreciate TFs for their uniqueness and quirks.
Back in 2010, when I was first collecting Transformers, I wanted to own just Optimus Primes and Starscreams. Then I went to Walmart. I saw this Drift and HFTD Terradive. I bought both and Pandora's box was open...
This is great mold! We have Generations Blurr. My son was really into Transformers when Generations toys were on the shelves. He played with Generations Blurr quite a bit. I just bought a bunch of NIB and MOSC Generations Transformers to keep for grandkids. Blurr was one of them...
I found generations Drift, Blurr, and shattered glass Drift all local and complete about a year ago. Still hunting the Deadlock version of the mold. So worth the effort to find.
Got him back when he came out and man is he awesome! Still one of my favorites to this day. We do need a new one so other people can have this guy in their collection, but I won’t buy it. There is no way it would be better than the original. More articulation would be nice, but I really don’t think there’s anything else they can do to improve this figure.
As any collector has noticed, whenever they make a new version of a character, the previous ones usually become worthless. So if they do make a new one (and assuming it’s not garbage), there’s a good chance the prices will drop.
Okay at first I thought he was makeing a joke skit but then I saw the face mold and the legs and it just took my breath away, I need this fig right now, thsi is best transformers fig I’ve ever seen
I ended up getting an oversized KO version. Not an ideal option at the time back then, but it was I could find. Now I'm glad that I got it because even that KO ended up being hard to get.
Yeah, absolutely love this toy. I do wish they would update Drift though. Something that looks so much like this but with some added articulation would be legendary. I’m sure they’d screw up his wonderful weapon storage though. His Deadlock repaint is definitely a holy grail for my collection. I nearly got it and I’ve always regretted not pulling the trigger.
Can't imagine Hasbro making a Drift that will ever beat it. I managed to get the United version for not too much awhile ago. I had the Shattered and Decepticon version too but sold them. Awesome mold.
I honestly don't remember how I got generations drift like he was just always there in my childhood but I never knew who he was so he had many names in my playing days
I have generations Drift. I originally got it for my younger brother but when he stopped collecting Transformers, he game it to me since he knows how much I like collecting them.
Back when Transformers were $13 for Deluxes.... Man, I miss those days, too bad I was a kid without a job. Thankfully my brother got him for Christmas the year he came out, and eventually he gave him to me, still one of my all time favorites... Well, except for the loose door hip skirts, and he can't T-pose.
I agree, i own the takara blurr it has aged very well better than my masterpiece streak, i only wish i could have the big rifle since is the only thing i'm missing
Drift has become evergreen. He's in RID 15, he's in Cyberverse, he might show up in Earthspark. He'll be in just about anything that isn't G1 fanservice. We need a new IDW Drift.
We do end up needing a new drift because there was a mention of it recently through that card game from war for Cybertron that was mentioned it would be awesome to see a new updated version of this come out with either legacy uni or something along the lines of it now other than the movie verse version which had an okay attempt for it this would be so much better I'd love to see a newer take or at least something similar to this
Got him for my Lost Light shelf a year or so ago... and even though I love him, I want a new one. Looking at how Tarn/Bludgeon came out? Drift would be *so* fucking good.
While yes this figure is good... We need a new one. We definitely do. Mostly because of how expensive he is on the aftermarket. Plus... he could have up and down wrists for sword poses!
Thrilling 30s is so much better than half the lines we got these years, I wish hasbro would just re release old molds instead of making new and worse ones.
This Drift has some of the best arm articulation of any Transformers figure, the poses you can do with it and its swords are insane. If we get a new Drift it would most likely be a downgrade compared to this one.
It was one of the greatest generations figures of all time. It was funny when he was introduced into idw, he had more hate on him than I’d ever seen. Everybody said he was a Mary sue, pandering to weebs and just an abomination. Dude is one of the most enduring characters across several iterations now. I think a kickass toy helped a ton
Yo I had that same mold toy. It was my first and only Transformers I had. I guess I was the lucky one who had it but I didn't like that my back of the blue car looked like a spaceship
Yeah I got this guy and the blurr and they are fantastic. He is in my idw shelf so I'd like another one for modern collection but he is still great for sure.

The worst part of not having Generations Drift is having to spend like 80 bucks to get him with the swords
Yeah, at least the Blurr is far easier to find; even new in box is pretty inexpensive compared to the Drift.
i just bought the KO
there is a ko ?
@@notreallyizaah3025
@@notreallyizaah3025 Where’d you find a KO?
I have the oversized ko
It’s really hard to believe hasbro hadn’t made a new Drift yet
They have made many Drifts, just not IDW.

They need to make a legacy figure

I was EXTREMELY lucky to find this guy complete for $10 at a used goods store a couple years ago
Holy shit, you really are
10 DOLLARS??? Holy shitttt you got the holy grail I am so jealous of you
I never knew he was worth anything.
I wish I could get deals like that… :(

This guy REALLY needs ankles. Hasbro, please give us Legacy United Drift
Hasbro needs to make a new drift toy this dude came out so long ago now
Wow. I just pulled this out of storage yesterday and was transforming it back and forth. It really is a great figure.

I have gotten into transformers again the last year but finally ik what that drift figure I had as a kid was. I will try to track him down for a nice round of crying due to loss of childhood
The 2010 - 2016 IDW-adjacent era of Generations was honestly VERY underrated. The T30 IDW Springer was sooo good, as well as CW Ultra Magnus.
I love how he looks kinda like the Speed Racer car and how the doors look like armor!
Well, we do need a new and updated version, because we can't expect people to chase that old version.
I have the Deadpool version. It was the first Grail piece I tracked down when I was early into collecting. It will always hold a special place in my heart
Everything is a masterpiece according to this guy

This is always been, my favorite drift

This thing is imperfect in that ankle tilt joints would make it perfect.
I passed on this when I was little and always regretted it
I used to have Blurr before I sold him off. His door holsters were always super floppy.
I honestly don't remember how I got generations drift like he was just always there in my childhood but I never knew who he was so he had many names in my playing days
“Buy generations drift” yeah that’s easier said than done, I need more money 😅

Drift's alt mode be driftin in Tokyo rn
A repaint of this with a new head would work so well as the "G1.5" character Boss, shame the mold's time is long passed and BotCon is gone
Regret not getting this back then.. 😢
he's amazing, but still kinda want a new one with high standard articulation
I have the Blur repaint! It’s such a cool figure.
This one looks fantastic but I honestly want an updated version with the current standard articulation

All they'd need to do to make it better is just add articulation in some places and bam perfect Drift toy
I got him when he came out, still have him. Awesome figure.
Managed to get this guy for cheap at a toy store that luckily only sells stuff for retail price, unless it’s a super hard to get piece.
Honestly all they’d need to do to make a new Drift is update the articulation and make the swords 5mm compatible
I had that one and I really miss it
Sadly I only could get my hands on an oversized KO but it's still a really cool toy
this was/is my first Generations figure- I agree he's neat, but his posability is a little lacking, but the three swords are pretty cool
I kind of wish that we got Drift in Legacy… 😔
The head always reminded me of tigertron
Got him for my Lost Light shelf a year or so ago... and even though I love him, I want a new one. Looking at how Tarn/Bludgeon came out? Drift would be *so* fucking good.
Shame we can’t say the same for the durability of the swords. Damn those plastic-y rubber swords.
BRO I HAVE THAT WHEN I WAS YOUNG AND I LOST IT
I have it and I started collecting when I was five in like 2019
The old school transformers where something else
This video convinced me to get Generations drift when it came out, I forgot to thank you. Thank You, you were correct, it's an amazing figure
Drift or blur it's one of the best molds
I had him too. I let him go and regret it. He's expensive on the secondary market.
I honestly want a new legacy one JUST so that i might have the chance to get the old one from other collectors selling theirs at more reasonable price
I had generations drift when I was younger but now he's impossible to get for a reasonable price now
I bought this figured new way back when, still have the figure but lost the swords..
The only reason I don’t have this because of the leg transformation I hate that kind I can never do it
I have regret not buying this figure from a local toy convention way back 2018
I had this one as a kid so cool
Tell that to the god dammed aftermarket
While yes this figure is good...
We need a new one. We definitely do. Mostly because of how expensive he is on the aftermarket. Plus... he could have up and down wrists for sword poses!
I never owned this figure, but hearing you enjoy it is nice :)
Got a second hand one for 20 locally. I love it. 100%complete
I bought the Blur version of this figure and I regret not shelling out the extra change gor Drift instead
i swear to god i had this at one point, but i cant remember :sob:

I don’t blame u for not folding in the windows, it’s the only piece on my copy that looks fragile enough to break
I have him. He's mostly complete. I'm just missing his katana. Thankfully, there's a 3D printed one that I'll probably get.
I have a beat up version.
Missing small swords, paint is mostly gone, feet don't tab together anymore
I owned him 2x... It's a favorite of mine.
