    Drift would be Classics Series, I assume.

    Though I hope we get an Ultra-Class Nemesis Prime based off Don Figueroa's design. We know it's perfectly workable - after all, Dak built it. And having seen it in person, I know his looks gorgeous.

    As for crossovers, I don't think IDW has a crossover in mind in the short term - I think they commented on that. Would be sweet to do an out-of-continuity one though.

    I'd rather have the Nova Prime colors.

    Although I guess they could do both and make everyone happy.
    (unless someone out there just hates Nova/nemesis)

    I didn't mind the GI Joe news :) 

    Drift sounds very cool!

    As I said yesterday on Hisstank, love the live feed!

    Drift does look kinda cool, but I'm not sure if I would be interested in him or not. I'd honestly have to see some more close up pictures of his design, and then pictures of a prototype or two before I could decide if I have any interest in him or not.

    Well, I'm all for new characters myself. Sure there's loads of old characters to be homaged, but the new guys like Lugnut and Nova Prime are always great additions.

    So what line is DRIFT going to be sold in?
    Drift seems like a Nissan Silvia S15 with a bodykit.

    Drift's deco looks eerily familiar...

    Right down to "DRIFT" written in katakana on the doors.

    Nonetheless I look forward to seeing the toy. Hopefully tomorrow.

    Front row, across from Bacala (envy/praise you for live blogging, dude). Was the person who asked regarding Frenzy's colors during the AHM part.

    Great coverage, thanks Tony. :thumb 

    Drift sounds cool but I'm a sucker for Japanese cars, especially red Japanese cars.

    ARGH! I've had "DRIFT" on my list of characters to do for quite some time now. IDW just beat me to actually making it! Oh well, it could be worse . . . :lol  I'm sure what IDW and Hasbro will make will be cool. I guess we'll find out soon under what banner this bot will pop up under. :) 

    Rest assured that "DRIFT" will be part of my ALTERATIONS!* at some point though, especially now :)

    The best news were Destiny and the Thirteen, I think specially the thirteen will kick ass.

    Are you freaking kidding me?!?! I wonder whom I would have to bribe to be able to do a cover for that.
