    Drift is an absolutely awesome figure. No problems with mine, aside from that his swords are a little loose in his hands. And naturally, he goes great with Bludgeon.

    Just bought one of these today, and I'm already satisfied with saying this is one of my top five favorite deluxe Transformers. Drift is well worth a purchase.

    Picked up Drift yesterday at Walmart. All the Generations figures were mixed in with others, so I got him for $9. Totally worth it. Love the swords, poseability, everything.

    Drift's head doesn't move side to side?! Now I'm somewhat weird-ed out since most figs as of late can move theirs.

    Just got mine today and I knew I'd like him, though at first it was ridiculously hard to separate his spoiler but I figured out that if you transform the legs all the way while they are connected, the spoiler detaches much easier.

    Mine has limited head movement, it's cool because he can look up like he's flying with his head back.

    If you mean that it can't move like it's on a balljoint, you are correct. But it is on a swivel, as well as having the head itself being mounted on a hinge. Since that allows him to look side-to-side as well as up and down, that's enough for me.

    I wasn't really interested in him before, as I never read the comics and know nothing about the character, but I picked him up for the heck of it. He's a pretty good deluxe. Well worth the price. He can get some pretty good sword poses. I never checked out any reviews before-as he wasn't high on my priority list, so I didn't even know he came with the two smaller blades. So that was an epic surprise for me. So even If you don't like the character, this is one deluxe that's worth picking up.

    Unsupported. He is standing on one leg.

    Snagged him today. I spent a good deal of time posing him. His transformation is rather simplistic. Though it's difficult to argue with the end result. The long and two short swords are a plus. Overall a solid figure.

    Picked this guy up with Leader Screamer today and I must say, Drift is one sexy piece of plastic.

    I've been fiddling with him more than I have with SS :p

    I caved and picked him up (had a little cash to spare). Very handsome figure in the.. plastic. Must be a thrill for the creator I imagine.

    I did find it amusing that Straxus/Darkmount also got a figure - maybe Hasbro thinking that if they're going to do one new comic character, they might as well do an old one too.

    Deaths Head figure anyone? ^^

    Unfortunately, Death's Head I think is owned by Marvel (as is Straxus probably, which is why we got "Darkmount"), so it won't happen. Lockdown is probably as close as we're going to get.

    Or maybe they'll do a really Death's Head-style version of Skullgrin? Though that makes for a lot of skull-faced TFs.

    I kind of wish I had opened up this guy before I did WFC Prime. After playing with the WFC figure, this guy feels a tad lackluster.
    Don't get me wrong, it's a really trippy figure. But...I donno...His feet are kinda dumb. I don't know if I just need to spend some more time with it or what, but he feels kind of frustrating to pose. Again, mainly because of his big clucky feet/legs.

    Also his big sword doesn't really seem to store under his alt-mode all that well...I donno...Maybe I'm just doing it all wrong.

    I don't dislike the figure, he is pretty cool. Just not really one I'd say is my personal favorite. He's just kind of ok.
