    I never liked TLK Drift, which was too similar to Crosshairs; especially since AOE Drift was so good (no cheats for the chest), but the paint job on this looks too good and the baby dinobots make this a consideration for purchase.

    I don't think he needs to be scaled down to fit with the SS line at all, he's a pretty good scale with them already. IMG_20181006_094539.jpg

    Upsetting that the used an old mold from TLK when they should have done it with Berserker.

    But they do come with the Baby Dinobots, that's the upside.

    I may order one soon. But I thought this was going to be part of wave 6 with Dino. But it gets me thinking with Drift being a repaint, Dino might be a new mold.

    These 2 drift figures have different product numbers meaning there could be a second with a different alt mode Bugatti perhaps.

    Probably. But remind me again, why this one is releasing early next year?

    Its an exclusive like

    # 9 thundercracker it has a place in the numbering but was supposed to be "exclusive". Until Tru went partly under and the stock was distributed by other vendors.

    Oh and I have a new hint at a second exclusive I will share later.

    I agree with this statement on its own, but it isn't exactly a great mold in the first place. Not saying the figure is trash or anything but compared to the actual design, he's less Saber Athena, more... Ninja Turtle... you picking up what I'm putting down?

    There’s only so much you can do when you need to turn into A) a robot with no indicators of what the hell you turn into and B) a mish-mash of car parts designed to look like a helicopter

    Yeah no argument there, but Stinger had some new kibble hiding tricks and the other helo/car triplechanger is only getting one toy per vehicle mode, so I still think a new mold would've been worth making.

    Plus if it were good, I'd even buy concept black & orange and IDW white & red repaints. ;)

    I'd try via the website.

    Comic Con Paris, The festival of pop culture

    Day tickets for London Comic Con are actually quite inexpensive so I may go along to try and get pics there.

    Are the mini dinobots posable, or are they static pieces?

    Tickets are 20euros for 1 day. But still if I could have clear access to interview hasbro staff and do video interviews for tfw that would be awesome...

    Back to drift, can t wait to get that version

    I don’t really collect SS, but I’ll be adding this guy to the handful I have.
