the figure was still better than lockdown

personally just feel indifferent to the design, if it is early concept artwork, then so be it, bt maybe a pallete swap between hot rod and drift IS in order

 

LOL at the Benz grill replacing what should be an Autobot insignia.....Or are Samurai/Ninja's that particular when it comes to labels.

That's Bay's crap for ya I guess!

 

Lol, well of course he's suddenly red with a new vehicle mode now. And of course, yet again, there will be zero explanation as to why.    

Maybe this time around he'll have 4-5 different alt modes... that are again never, ever addressed.

 

wait i was thinking we didn't see much red on his alt mode...the amg gt-r was mainly black and some red stripes.
but this pic here made the opposite: more red less black

so this is a concept art right?

 

Cool ! I hope Hasbro makes a toy out of him (Drift)

 

In all fairness, the imagination plasters effortlessly over stuff like that. We know they scan stuff, we don't need to see it every time. By the same token, we also know they transform, and I'd like to see some of that this time.

 

I don't like the red, they should have kept the blue he had in AOE.

It pops more IMO.

 

Drift still isn't a Japanese car.

smh

The red blends better but it lacks the flow blue had.

 

While I think it is possible that Drift will be more black in the film, taking a closer look there does seem to be some black panels on his arms and legs, so maybe this is based on the black car prop.

While not as extreme, AoE 'High Octane' Bumblebee had far too much yellow on the robot mode compared to the '67 Camaro, so the designers may have done a similar thing here and just given him more colour in robot mode.

Does anyone else find it odd that both Hot Rod and now Sqweeks have had proper renders revealed whilst Drift, who has a pre-existing base render, only gets a concept art reveal?

 

1. Why do they need to address why he has 2 alt modes, theyve never done that in any media in the past

2. Why dose he need to explain his color change.

 

Perhaps I'm in the minority, but I'm more excited to see Drift in TLK than I am to see the debut of Hot Rod. I want to see more action scenes with him, and I also want to learn more about his Decepticon past if possible.

 

Amen to that! I just wish they gave him a different head design.

 

Hopefully, the final design and toy keeps the AMG logo on the swords.

Classy as fuck  

 

Drift, the all around japanese stereotype that turns into a Mercedes.
