Autobot paladins or the reborn Knights of Cybertron?
I adore that mould so much I still use the Blurr version of it as my collection's Blurr.
Drift is really fun and, even back then, felt like something of an event. Sure, his initial comic outing didn't do his character the most favours but his design was spot on. He felt like his own thing, his sword was cool, he had additional weaponry hidden in his kibble... he's just an all around good design. Definitely one that fits in with the wider Generations TF aesthetic but is still his own thing.
There have been a few cracks at a revisit and none of them feel like the total package like the original. Like you I'd be interested in seeing another try at an update, but if not well... I'm quite happy with the OG.
I posted this years ago, but I think it might have been eaten by the void in one of the forum restarts.
It's one of the molds I'm keeping from that era.
Although I'd LOVE it if Hastak officialized that Deadlock/Drift digibash from Prime Wars Trilogy Punch/Counterpunch.
He was pretty big for the original Generations line but he is huge in the new scale. A new one wouldn't be the worst thing ever.
I want a update on him, I also would like to see Windblade given her original toy colour paint scheme, it just worked that paint job, unlike the later ones where the red is FAR to much for her, anyway, with Drift, that original Generations verison, like Windblade, is my defaco verison until something better comes along and so far, nothing has come along to impress me, I just don't like what they did in AOE, its the stupidiest desgin for a robot mode, just because he embraces Japan's culture, doesn't mean that he needs to look like a classic verison of a Samuari, wielding the Katana swords would be enough with a few references, but then, I wasn't a fan of a lot of AOE desgins in general, about the only real cool looking bots were the Dinobots, they just worked for me!
samuari
If they really wanted to lean into the Japanese angle I'd dig a Drift with an alt mode that approximates a Toyota Sprinter Trueno AE86. Initial D Drift let's do it.
It looks nice but it's MP sized.
I don't know...
Third base!
Short handle actually works for a hand-replacement decently.
Gotta admit, I clicked that expecting to see a He-Man Universe Power Sword.
