“Ratchets peaceful death many years later” holy crap someone in the idw comic DIDNT have a brutal death?

[upbeathightuned]

99% of the comments: *about Drift*
1%: *Ratchet and Drift*
Me: *still can't get over the fact that Ratchet died*

[dnprime]

the fact that shattered glass drift is a robot deadpool just cracks me up, every time.

[Pyromaniax]

Kinda ironic that Ratchet died in the same movie Drift debuted

Me 4 in the morning: I guess it a good time to learn about tranformers.

"Movie Drift liked to speak in haiku."
*Sky-Byte would like to know your location*

Kind of surprised they never put this guy against Bludgeon. Seems like their ideals would make them decent rivals!

[KodyCrimson]

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).

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.

Last time I was this early, Ironhide was still alive.

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.

[FeatherFurr]

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.

[BWxEclipse]

But the real question…




*was he offlined by a cosmically-powered Starscream?*

[Lucario]

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!

No one:
Not a single spark:
Drift: RYU GIN NO KEN WU KURAIIII

[zapata]

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

[sith]

I can picture Drift and Six-Shot becoming friends over their shared past

I started reading IDW's transformers a few months back, and finished it recently. Man it was great. Such s beautiful series.
