    "Mary Sue" is a derogatory term to describe overpowered self-insert characters in fanfiction. A stereotypical Mary Sue is more powerful than everyone else, is the hero of the fanfiction, is related to canon characters, is a part of the normal hero's team, and is usually the only one who doesn't get affected by the bad guy's latest attempts to subdue the heroes. At worst, the fanfiction revolves around them to the point where the normal characters can't even eat soup without their help, and could probably smack down someone like, say, Unicron with little difficulty.

    There are a couple characters who can arguably be called Mary Sues in TF canon, like Rapticon (At least, according to the TFWiki page), but Drift takes the Sue cake.

    No, but I'm sure Starscream doesn't care.

    What is that awesome custom (based on the turbo tank)?

    It looks great, and I should know the name, but I don't.

    Well then I'm stumped. My only other guess would be Tracks.
