    Eh, if I may. It's actually Katakana, but also it's technically Chinese Characters read from the top which (i think) roughly translates as : "Heaven Incarnate" or summin like that :p  ;) 

    Somebody noted this before.... :D 

    Anyway, on topic: Love the super poseability on Drift! :D

    Awesome pics! Definitely gonna get him.

    It's originally an old saying in Chinese, and also passed to Japan's culture along with hanzi/kanzi in the past.

    "天下" is literally "under the sky", means the world we live in.
    "無雙" can directly refer to "second to none"
    Together, "Second To None In the World" (or in this case, could be "Universe").

    Oh wow, totally sold on this guy now. I'm neutral on the character within fiction but he makes one awesome toy.

    I'm digging what this guy seems to offer.

    Not liking the soft plastic on the large sword, however.

    I'll make my decision whether or not to buy him after I watch a video review first, ya' know, just encase.

    Hmmm... I wonder how Cybertron Blurr's head would look like on this mold?

    Very excited about this mold. I'm really looking forward to Blurr (and any other potential repaints mentioned for that matter). I'm guessing they'll change his weapons for Blurr on top of the new head sculpt?

    This mold is so awesome that I'll buy every repaint Hasbro throws out, twice. Normally I don't even buy Autobots, no matter how great they look, but he is easily the exception. Until I get my hands on some Reprolabels. As far as the character goes he hasn't done anything so bad to warrant the hate but that's me. I personally can't wait to see if his comic will do something meaningful.

    Gorgeous looking figure. Only think I'm not liking is that his sword is bendable. But aside from that, he may be my most anticipated Generations figure.

    Awesome review, too. :thumb

    I really hate Drift as a character, and how they're trying to shoe-horn him into canon, but that toy is pretty damn nice.

    He already was canon, that's part of what appearing in the official comic books entails. I know he SEEMS like a fan-fiction character, but no, he was sadly official from the start.

    I mean how they're going back to pre-established canon that was fine the way it was, adding Drift in and talking about how awesome he is, how he is leet and uber, and how he is LEIK, TEH GR8EST AUTOBOT EVAR!
