    Hello everyone
    This is my custom transformers drift.
    He is primarily made using the prime wheeljack mold. Resheled using a hot wheels car,some part from a DOTM sideswipe and miscellaneous joints from legends scale figures. I made him as possible as possible wile still transformable.
    Aesthetically he is based of the IDW comic version with some influences from Samurai armor. All five of his swords( 2 short,2 full swords & the great sword) are scratch built as well as the head.
    Hope you all like him

    Here are some picks of Drifts car mode and his transformation.
    to transform:
    The doors open and swivel,
    The rear fenders open out and form the shoulder guards,
    then unfold the arms
    Split the bonnet and fold it at the hinges to form the shin guard
    The front grill is on the back of the feet ,rotate them around as well as the shine guard on the molds original joint.
    The mid sections of the windshield fold down to form the crotch guards
    The torso forms in the same way the original mold does and rotate the roof of the car to form the chest plate.
    The rear end of the car is on a hinge and opens out to form a "but flap "
    Although all the car parts are removable ther is no parts forming other than the swords that don't store in car mode
    The last picture is of all the customs i have done using this mold ( Lockdown, Deathjaw, Oilslick, Hotrod, Drift, Wheeljack, And Cyclonus)

    Very excellent use of the Hot Wheels upper scales. The robot mode definitely says Drift, the transformation looks pretty unique, and the vehicle mode is unique in itself. Nicely done!
