      Drift (movie) is a master of samurai who , i think, when he came to earth, he landed on japan and learned samurai art from there.
      So, my point is that both bludgeon and drift are master of sword fighting, so it will be a great fight

    As cool as Drift's Decepticon to Autobot story is, I would love to see an Autobot who turns to the Decepticon side (Mudflap from Cybertron doesn't count, he switched because Starscream pretty much asked if he had anything better to do).

    • @samuelrichards1288

      That is something that I would also like to see more of. These are a few characters that come to mind.
      Wheeljack TF Armada
      Blackarachnia TF Animated
      Everyone else that I can think of either had there programming changed, Beast Wars characters like Inferno into Predacons. Or worked with Decepticons, but never joined, like Flame and Pharma.
      Surprisingly, more Autobots have become Heralds of Unicron, they are tortured and brainwashed but it is still interesting, an example is the Four Horseman from Armada.

    • @blam320
      @blam320 5 лет назад +28

      As Sam Richards here already said, we've got examples in the form of Armada Wheeljack, who betrayed the Autobots because he believed Hot Shot abandoned him after an accident led the latter to believe Wheeljack was dead, and Animated Elita One, who was _also_ abandoned after an accident led to Optimus and Sentinel believing she was dead, though she has the distinction of also being subsequently mutated into a Techno-Organic, whereupon she reinvented herself as Blackarachnia.
      There's also the case of Energon Inferno, though he falls under the "tortured and reprogrammed" category.

    I am still reading through Lost Light, so I didn't know he and Ratchet were really gonna end up together, but this is one of the rare instances where I didn't mind it one bit to know what I can expect for him. I really loved their dynamic so far. (I'm still upset, that I now know Ratchet is going to die, tho! >:-C)
    The Transformers Generations Drift was the first and only figure I ever had shipped (from Australia to Germany) and it was damn worth it! His car and alt mode are awesome and the swords are so damn cool!

    Fun fact: People liked Drift’s toy. However, since it was released at the time where he was a “Base-Breaking Character,” the toy was later rereleased as a new figure for Blurr. As in, they recolored the toy, replaced the swords with guns, and remolded the head into that of Blurr’s. According to the wikis, this was done so that people could own the toy, while not feeling guilty for buying Drift merchandise.
