Title:

Drift Robot Mode

Description:
Autobot Drift (Deluxe Class, 2010)

Accessories: Left & right "dual swords”, greatsword.

Generations Drift transforms into a cross between a Nissan Silvia S15 and a Mitsubishi FTO. In vehicle mode, Drift’s two shorter "dual swords” store inside his doors (which double as his hip sheaths during robot mode), while the larger sword stores in a set of grooves on the underside of his vehicle (also used in robot mode). It can also be stored (in robot mode) in the doors where the windows fold up. Behind his windshield kibble is his pre-Earth chest design, in a nod to the form Drift had been seen in almost exclusively at the time of the toy’s unveiling. Due to his ball jointed wrists, Drift is one of the few Transformers figures that can hold a sword with a two-handed grip. Left unmentioned in the instructions is that the clip that holds his large sword is on a small concealed arm that allows the sword to move away from his back and out of the way of his legs and shoulders. Drift’s swords are made from a kid-friendly flexible material, and therefore care must be taken to avoid warping. His hand holes are slightly larger than 5 mm, but taper toward the bottom.While Drift’s Earth mode designs showed him sporting the katakana ドリフト (Dorifuto) on his car doors, the toy instead sports the kanji 侍 (samurai). The large sword sports the kanji 天下無双 (tenka musō, "peerless under heaven”, or just "peerless” if you’re not feeling idiomatic. It can also mean "armed under providence”).Drift’s mold was retooled into Generations Blurr and was redecoed, with Blurr’s pistols also being included, into Shattered Glass Drift.When his eyes are lit up, he has two visible pupils that follow you when you turn him. Freaky.
