Generation - Drift. The Con who defect and find his way to his true path and becoming an Autobot. I do not know much of him as he only appeared in comic book. Formerly known as Deadlock; Drift appeared only in IDW Generation 1 comic book. I bought him a very long time ago because he looks so cool. With a samurai sword and dual katana; I can't resist on getting this guy (and he is truly worth it).Bio
Drift (ăăȘăă Dorifuto) was not always an Autobot. In fact, he slaughtered quite a few when he was known as the Decepticon Deadlock. But Deadlock's eyes were opened to what the Transformers' war had become when he stumbled across a lost faction of neutral Transformers long since forgotten. He discarded his ruthless ways, abandoned his guns for swords, and changed his name and appearance.
When Drift returned to the Transformer war to make right what he put wrong, he was a bot of few words and disciplined action. Because of his brutal past, Drift isn't well-liked or trusted by a few of the Autobots. The rest don't seem to care, so long as his skills are used against the other side!
In addition to the two swords kept in his hip scabbards, Drift carries a legendary Great Sword. An ancient weapon that predates modern civilization, the Great Sword draws upon the spark energy of its bearer, and as such must only be used in the most dire of circumstances. (Source: TFWiki)

Vehicle Mode
According to TFWiki; Drift vehicle mode is a combination of a Nissan Silvia S15 and a Mitsubishi FTO. Well, I really can't complain about his vehicle mode because it is the most awesome looking vehicle compare to the rest. Just look at that sweet rims and nicely curved vehicle mode. The United version has even better detail paint job compare to this Hasbro version.
Alternate Mode
I am a bit of a fan of robot that come with a sword. It does not matter if it is a Transformers or a Gundam; I just love it. So far, Drift is not the only Autobot with a katana. The G2 Optimus Prime has his laser sword and I remember having ROTF Bludegeon and it does came with katana and a small dagger (still in the box though). Anyway, I have to admit; Drift looks very amazing. To add to that, I had add the exclusive MakeToy Battle Tanker Drift sword for him. It is just picture perfect. There is another variation of Drift and that is the exclusive Shattered Glass Drift that held a pistols instead of a katana (how I wish I could own that).
