    Drift isn't a samurai, he's still Cybertronian, not Japaneese, he certainly likes these elements of human culture, but that's not making him to be disciplined;)

    Maybe the rocks weren't actually rocks. Maybe they were disguised as rocks and were actually some sort of shield to block his signal.

    Crossing out a few humans and a game of polo is not gonna get them enough money to design an entirely new cg model for a minor character.

    It's too bad they changed Canopy. However, I wonder if the head of that Payload toy could be easily replaced.

    U see there...Drift vs Mohawk...in a group discussion in town, i had brought up that there should have been battle scenes with this one specifically being one of them. To see that they thought about it is awesome but didnt make it into the movie is a letdown

    The drift vs mohawk is depressing...instead of that we got bumblebee killing him like he was a bug. an insult to both characters.

    Thank goodness these Transformers don\'t have some kind of shaving cream. That concept art of Daytrader is really making me feel disturbed somewhat. Drift vs Mohawk would have been probably awesome. I think like maybe Mohawk kicks Drift\'s swords away and so Drift uses his daggers instead, which I wish we could see it in the movies rather than in toy form. So, that train Izabella slides down from would have been Canopy right? Wow he looks good though.

    Yeah not to mention if they play him off as being an honorable samurai character 24/7 people will rage about him being a racial sterotype. I mean there's no real winning with how he's done in the movies when you get down to it. He still has his awesome moments too so he's not that comedic.

    As for the concept of him going against Mohawk I really wonder why they didn't include that in? It would've given Mohawk and Drift more to do and even if Mohawk still gets decapitated at least it would be in a fair fight.

    I really like the subway train design for Canopy. Shame he was only a one-off character.

    Daytrader's face is the stuff Megatron has nightmares about.

    Seeing the Daytrader concept art made me want to go to a corner, curl up in a fetal possition and cry.

    Now I want to see the concept designs for Onslaught to see if he originally had a different design then what he had in the movie like Canopy.

    After seeing them in the movie, I really liked both Canopy and Onslaught's designs.

    Really love that Canopy design. Really makes me think of something gentle and protective.

    From now on, I will dread the reveal of Daytrader's concept face every time I pull back the shower curtains and am alone...

    I've always had the feeling that the reason the films have characters named Dino, Que, and Daytrader is so they don't ruin characters like Mirage, Wheeljack, and Wreckgar and can some day do them in future films properly, probably post-Bay if he ever leaves and a new director that respect the characters past histories and incarnations takes the helm.

    I thought the same. After reading the novel and comics I was so pissed that wheeljack was changed to que, between he and mirage it actually lowered my enjoyment on first viewing considerably.

    But then I thought wheeljack is one of the greatest characters and "Que" has what 4 maybe 5 lines? looks like a mess, and gets blown to bits without doing a damn thing but look silly.

    So I thought maybe we could see him in the future and this will be a good thing..I mean shit we had 2 devastators and they freaking called brawl devastator on screen!
