“Ratchets peaceful death many years later” holy crap someone in the idw comic DIDNT have a brutal death?
If anyone deserved not having one, it was Ratchet.
I find it was wrong since there were a number of Cybertronians older than Ratchet. Even Drift was older than Ratchet.
Cyclonus and Tailgate got their happy ending ☺ but others..... yeeahh😢
P.s. well, to be honest, there were others who survived, but are they happy?
Wow
@@cat062 Maybe he developed Spark cancer that he discovered too late because he was too busy tending to the ills of the other crew members?
Kinda ironic that Ratchet died in the same movie Drift debuted
Oh man i didn’t realize that... ouch
Sad
Hmm... *MICHEAL BAY* ...... *HMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!*
It's the opposite of ironic, but yeah. It is interesting. It's awesome that Lockdown killed him too, because Ratchet originally had a rivalry with Lockdown.
@@JustViolet626 he had a rivalry with himself?
99% of the comments: *about Drift*
1%: *Ratchet and Drift*
Me: *still can't get over the fact that Ratchet died*
I can't believe they were a couple..
Me neither, it's not fair 😭😭
@@benjamincho4819 me neither, but I love it 😁😁🥰🥰
@@adawnicusautocon you are insane
I SO wanted a scene with those two reuniting damn it.
Me 4 in the morning: I guess it a good time to learn about tranformers.
Same. lol
Clock Check: For me (Germany) it uploaded at 11am
Hi from Australia 2 AM here lol
It's never too early to brush up on Transformers lore.
3;00 for me.
the fact that shattered glass drift is a robot deadpool just cracks me up, every time.
@Juggernot 117 I'd like a reissue of sg drift
@@dnprime1737 Flame Toys (a partner of Hasbro) made a version of SG Drift. You can't transform him because Flame Toys makes figures to be highly detailed and articulated, which unfortunately sacrifices the Transformation.
@@samuelrichards1288 which is the part i want.
i have flame toys's model kit version of idw optimus, i love it, but if i rather have a sg drift that can transform
@DNPrime 17 Well, Mastermind Creations has you covered. They're repainting their Stray (or maybe Ater Beta; I don't remember) into Shattered Glass Drift. It's got the Deadlock head in Deadpool colors, and even a Drift head that is straight-up Deadpool. I haven't found preorders for it yet, but if you look around, I'm sure you'll find something.
@@elijahfoltz3755 thanks for the info, but im not that into mastermind creations, i like their predaking (dont have it) but that is it. none of their pieces are quite my tempo otherwise.
"Movie Drift liked to speak in haiku."
*Sky-Byte would like to know your location*
I always think of the fact that I need to catch up on Haikyuu (great Volleyball manga/anime) when I hear that word.
Lucario LP I read haiku as Yu Yu Hakushu for some reason, no relation
Drift/Sky-Byte poetry slam, DO IT, HASBRO!!! :P
To fight over haiku supremacy or to exchange poems with each other?
Did Sky-Byte know that "shark" is in Finnish *hai*?
Kind of surprised they never put this guy against Bludgeon. Seems like their ideals would make them decent rivals!
Exactly, a drift vs bludgeon would be a great fight. They are the best transformers swordsmen ever
Bludgeon is a master of some cybertronian sword art called metallikato
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
Show me a good time Deadlock
@@Henrex2000 Only thing I know for real intensifies
There is a stop motion series that made them master and student turned rivals
@@autobotproductions1244 link and name
But the real question…
*was he offlined by a cosmically-powered Starscream?*
the answer is not no
@@lydia1157 not yet at least.
😂 Good one. Seems like everybody and their grandmother got offed by cosmic-powered Starscream.
He's of the generation that was lucky enough to be born after the slaughter with the few who survived trying their hardest for the event to be lost to time
No, he survived
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).
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.
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 don’t know if it counts, but the protoforms that became the Combaticons in RID 2001 were Autobots.
WFC Starscream used to be an Autobot scientist before he sold out to Megatron. They swapped his backstory with Jetfire's (who's WFC counterpart is an Autobot all along) and it worked pretty well imo.
Plus mudflap from cybertron rejoined the autobots later.
Once again, I love the IDW version best. Plenty of chuckles were had because of Drift being a space hippie.
Original IDW Drift was SUCH an awesome character. I've always wanted more of Wing. Maybe even a figure. The Circle of Light characters would be an awesome sub-line as well.

MULTI-FACTION DRIFTING!
Initial D(ecepticon)
Last time I was this early, Ironhide was still alive.
Still too soon
"Such heroic nonsense."
I hear by releave you of duty
But PRAHM!
That scene where Ironhide fell apart and his head rusted off low key messed me up as a kid.
Drift quickly became a favorite character of mine when I began reading the IDW comics and his Generations figure was a must have for my collection. He's still a favorite and I display him fighting side-by-side alongside Ratchet.
I'd totally forgotten that Drift/Ratchet became Canon and just about had a heart attack when you brought it up. I'm still not used to IDW allowing romance subplots to happen at all lol.
I recently heard that windblade somehow had a daughter
Drift incarnations ranked:
1. IDW Drift as written by James Roberts
2. Movie Drift
3. RID 15 Drift
50,000. IDW Drift as written by Shane McCarthy
Cyberverse Drift is one of the most interesting versions of Drift ever since he was actually a true Decepticon apparently as seen in season 3
@@jonathanleon4989 How
@Joshua Frias how was he written?
@@twistederror My personal opinion abt Cyberverse Drift is that I hated the part he turned out to be Decepticon after his ways n life, it dosen't make sense how someone turned to good after seeing the light n going back to dark.
@@prime4642 He was definitely always a decepticon the whole time. He never saw the light, he was just pretending in that universe.
I really love Drift, both designwise but also his IDW backstory. He is one of my favorite characters, def. Top 3.
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!
First of all, his fellow aroace person!!! Second of all, I just LOVE the relationship between Drift and Ratchet. Kinda would have loved to see them reunite in the live action films so we could see their adorable side or something.
My favorite take on drift is IDW he is so come but fun at the same time I like the relationship that ratchet and drift have
I don't read the comics, so I thought AoE was Drift's first appearance. Also, Cosmically Powered Starscream, it feels so empty without him.
There's always the future because turns out he gets cosmic power alot
Drift has always been my favorite Transformer. His story in the IDW series is amazing and I’m glad he got favorable recognition in MTMTE.
I can picture Drift and Six-Shot becoming friends over their shared past
Former decepticons renouncing their ways after a near-death experince.
Yes
*You mean Greatshot?*
I started reading IDW's transformers a few months back, and finished it recently. Man it was great. Such s beautiful series.
No one:
Not a single spark:
Drift: RYU GIN NO KEN WU KURAIIII
Lmao
Say what you will about the bayformers at least they got an actual Japanese man to play Drift.
Eh, he was probably my favorite movie Transformer but I always looked at Drift as a weeaboo and not Japanese.
In the most stereotypical way possible.
I kinda wish they explored his back story.
With an actual yellow face and stereotypical voice...so yeah
@@ycastro2003 The first part isn't that great, but Ken Watanabe (his actor) just has a very thick accent. He always talks like that. Inception, Godzilla, so on.
We've seen starscream and skywarp on the basics but we haven't seen thundercracker can you make a basics on thundercracker
I'm still waiting on The Constructicons, the Stunticons, Hot Rod(aka: Rodimus Prime), and Sideways. He said they should be out before the End of this year, but I'm starting to have my doubts.
I'm in agreement. I'd love to see a Basics on Thundercracker, as well as all the Seekers as a group.
I'm with you on this, mentioned it many times to no avail. At this rate Buster is probably going to get his before TC.
Yes plz
I support Thundercracker too
While I do agree that his concept does seem somewhat like a fan creation, I'm a martial artist so I'm a bit of a sucker for this kind of thing
Worked out better than Nightscream.
ShadowWing Tronix who?
*[Eurobeat intensifies]*
DEJA VU
@@johnilarde8440 I have been this place before.
If Drift ever becomes a Headmaster, I hope his partner used to deliver Tofu.
There it is. I was looking for this.
Drift - Techno Samurai
Blurr - Speedy Speed Boy
Idw drift is my favorite! So much character development there, and his relationship with Ratchet was not only very cute but also flowed very naturally throught the entirety of Mtmtr/LL
REAL
Drift's favorite songs comprise the entire Initial D soundtrack.
not a bad repertoire at all lol
Drift and Ratchet being gay together is actually really adorable tbh
I find the Robots in Disguise take on Drift quite interesting: A stern but caring master to his students Slipstream and Jetstorm who is himself also still dealing with his own dark past. Shame Slipstream and Jetstorms names weren't the best choices.
8:18
Cyberverse Drift: "Very poor choice of words"
THEY'RE CANON WTF IM SO happy!!!!
If it wasn't for drift, windblade would look different
Wdym?
Dank Starscream he didn’t make wingblade so did he.....oh damn Chris brown style on her didn’t he? Actually nevermind lets act like this wasn’t a conversation
I don't get it is it because where both samurai
??
@@Jazmission you and Windblade are both Samurai because Windblade she's kinda looks like a Samurai
I'm one of the few who liked Drift from day one, but that's because I'm a sucker for samurai stuff.
I’ll be honest, the Ratchet relationship threw me for a loop.
I think they were going for a Spock/McCoy vibe. It didn't work for me, but I can see it working for others.
It was so random.
@@Allhailthesith Thank you, wasn't sure if I was the only one that felt that way here.
Parrish Pittman EL Life Advocate yup completely ruins idw
It was such a lame thing, I was into it until they became a couple. You know, people can be close without being romantic. It's called bromance.
I was also unsure of drifts silly japanese samurai-esque look and characterization, wondering if it was a bit tacky in this day and age... but upon looking around the Japanese fanbase of the IDW comics, they absolutely LOVE him over there and enjoy drawing him practicing in/in context of their culture. It's fun to see!
Drift: From a Cold-Blooded Decepticon Warrior Killer to a Honour Bound Autobot Samurai.
Shattered glass drift: From a Rebellious Decepticon Warrior to a Deadpool Autobot Mercenary.
Also me brutal muders decepicons in the bayverse
I will admit that I quickly fell in love with this character.
So did Ratchet. XD
Phanto5692 Lol 😂
Ken Watanabe's voiceover was awesome in the live action movies
Chris McFeely talking about drift culture, my life's complete
Thanks for this one, Colby Parker! I, despite knowing he's a complete nonsense weeb concept, actually really like Drift once he goes new age-y, and his relationship with Ratchet from "barely able to tolerate each other" to "married ever after" is fun and one of the few times I've ever enjoyed a romance that started with bickering.
I'd love to see them adopt drift's idw story into an animated series, something similar to the samurai episode of star wars visions. His story is too cool to not expose to a greater audience!
Oh my God, that is such a good idea!!
He would have been part of the 86 movie cast.
@@skybite he didn't exist yet :P
Sadly, Cyberverse Drift never truly abandoned his Decepticon legion. I was very disappointed when I found that out.
Oh?
@@larniieplayz6285 Yep.
Drift's first appearance was in the 2008 IDW comic book The Transformers: All Hail Megatron.
I was rooting for Ratchet and Drift to get together from the moment I heard about their past back before the war. And when Ratchet decides to go after Drift because he knew drift needed him more then the lost light did. They were adorable. I was sooooo happy when they became cannon. ❤️❤️❤️
1:46 “Trained in the way of the Sword” Those words made me see flashbacks to an time where “edge” was prominent in T.V. Shows
Drift and Ratchet were a couple??? That threw me off.
Yea, I knew they were close but I didnt think they’d become a real couple by the end :0
I prefer windblade than ratchet
@@Jazmission I've never payed much attention to Transformer romance, but I wouldn't mind there being a continuity where Drift and Windblade became a couple.
@@k9thexv630 um ok ?
Japanese street racing
Me: *puts teriyaki boyz Tokyo drift song*
I’m glad you got around to Drift. He’s one of my favorite characters from MTMTE/Lost Light and I ship him with Ratchet so hard. :D
is it really a ship if it's canon
@@DestroyerOfAglets I still call a pairing a ship even if it’s canon or not.
@@171QA it's canon!!!
@@reniafanatic9007 I still call a pairing a ship even if it’s canon or not.
No
I can picture Drift and Jetfire having a friendship because of their deception past, and I'm not being homophobic but I do ship Drift and Windblade
I first saw him in the age of extinction film, he's like my third fav autobot ever
80’s Kids: Nothing new will ever top G1!
Transformers after G1:
“It’s a haiku...”
And the Drift Mini-Cons are left overshadowed and forgotten.
Still liking the use of Cybertron transitions, btw.
It's hilarious Armada Drift is just Dirt Boss.
Dude, didn't know you were a fan of the transformers franchise, thumbs up man.
war lord Thanks. I may like Superman and Dragon Ball, but Transformers is definitely one of my favorites.
Speaking of, think you can do me a favor? Some moron made a fake copy of my account and replied to a few comments over on Goku vs Superman 2 yesterday. Think you can verify my subscriber number here and go there and call my 1 subscriber fake out. Should just be on comments from yesterday.
Drift is another personal favorite of mine. Sure, he is somewhat on par with ocs. But I think his changes over the decade show that original characters made for other forms of media can be accepted with time
3:38 wait what I did not know that idw version of drift and ratchet were in love now that things interesting thanks for telling me mr mcfeely
Same
Thanks for ruining ratchet c h r i s
Clifford Benenati ?
Im not even that into Transformors but I've been marathoning these Basics videos.
Sensei, we got your notification. We've been waiting.
Drift， if recolored with more red, yellow and blue, would be perfect for the core robot and take a leading role in Japanese super robot show! Just wonder what his combine mode would look like. Really love this long sword wielding Cybertonian :D
Will you do a basics on Wreck-gar basics. He is one of my favorites. I will say that I really enjoy your program. It's like I get to relive my childhood every episode. Thank you so much
My favourite bot always has been and always will be, can never get enough Drift
Did Drift and Ratchet seriously become a couple??? If so then hell yeah
Yeas they did 0u0
WHEELJACK CAN HAVE RATCHET
Drift's one of my favorite characters. I'm so happy you did an episode on him!!
another fun, entertaining, and educating transformers basics video ,you never fail to impress us with the quality of your videos! :)
7:06 evil drift with a color scheme and decoration based on the Japanese empire flag? How fitting
Regardless of my initial feelings about Drift's personality, his toy is beautiful. The unique transformation and awesome color scheme made me by him despite his DeviantArt OC behavior. I'm glad to see more recent takes on him have been better written.
Thank you for doing one on my favorite Transformer! 🙌🙌🙌
I genuinely thought drift wasn't an idw original character because I didnt think such a good character would be created so recently, but as I learned about transformers I realized all of the robots couldn't bee all from g1 originally and I felt stupid lmao. I know better now
His original design for IDW G1 imo is the best design
Drift is my favorite character.
I love him so much I am big fan of him he is the best samurai transformer ever.
Wow, I never knew so much about this character. Thank you for showing us this newer entry into the franchise.
Great video! He's been a favorite of mine since he was introduced during All Hail Megatron.
It's baby!
I like IDW drift he was a sweetheat and funny. Can't believe ratchet fell and bonded to him. So cute.
Been waiting for this for a long time, awesome to finally watch it
Best video ever and he is the reason why I gotten interested in transformers and samurai
Whirl and Drift are my favorites from the comics.
How far he came just like windblade
K
The Autobot samurai is actually not the first character named Drift. That belongs to a Mini-Con character, a member of the Burning Rubber team from the Transformers Armada toyline, who transforms into a blue racecar and combines with his teammates Spin and Indy to form the Cosmotector Shield.
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.
Transformers lore is so much cooler than the damn movies.
Who Knew Drift loved Ratchet?!
I prefer windblade than ratchet
Drift is a playable character in Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark, in which his Decepticon past and code of honor are hinted constantly in his dialogue.
drifting on in to enjoy a good show.
He always drift into me heart.
This man has the power of God, anime, and gay energy on his side. Hes to powerful.
I just want to thank you for doing all this videos. I love the franchise, but is really hard to get your hands on most of the content nowadays if you are short on money. I really want to watch all the old cartoons and read the IDW comics, because I love the lore and the characters and if it wasn't for your videos I would be completely lost! So thanks for doing all this!
It's ironic that Drift's first full live action appearance was the same movie where Ratchet was brutally murdered
The basics on Drift: "Gundam"
God I hope the COPPA rules don’t hurt this channel. This is the only channel I truly love. I am going to join your patreon because you do amazing work that deserves to be recognized for what it is.
Thanks for your support Marcelino, I'm hoping the same thing! 😅
@@ChrisMcFeely all right I've Patreoned cause Damn it you're videos are amazing and you deserve it. I bring my love Transformers to school and teach my students how to do research and I show them how well your videos are done. Thank you and if COPPA causes you harm then we are going to have to protest!
Its thanks to this video that about 7 moths ago Transformers became my personality
I’d like to see Chris McFreely continue his Art of Transformers videos, they felt like the most informative of his videos to me.
Mtmte/LL Drift is my favorite ^-^
Samurai robot? Should've just given him a Gundam head.
Thanks colby parker! Ive been waiting on this.
The abandoned Drift design for AGE OF EXTINCTION, with its orange and black color scheme. Reminds me a bit of one of my favorite Decepticons, Bludgeon. Surprised the Master of Metalkaido ,and Drift weren't made rivals at some point.
Turned from decepticons and joins the autobots. DRIFT IDEA
I remember having the toy when I was younger is it rare or not because I saw it once in stores then never again.
I learned a lot! Thanks!
That g1 style transition was amazing
