I was thinking the same thing, that Hasbro America might be planning it, but Hasbro Australia isn't.

Or is it possible Hasbro have realised that are are infinity+1 characters who deserve a place in Universe ahead of some character only a few people will actually recognise? Hell, if they want to do obscure characters, why not Devcon or Skids or... well any of the infinity+1 characters who already exist?

Truly bad news if this is the case. I don't think Drift would fit into 25th Anniversary, anyway, as I'd take the term "25th Anniversary" to be a celebration of the establish characters that have turned up in the past 25 years anyway. I feel that based on what I've seen of him, however, Drift warrants a figure.

Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...
Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.
Of course he's obscure! He's a character that's only appeared in a comic series. That puts him on a par with Flame. Even within TF fandom he's obscure.ShGarland_1383 wrote:I think calling Drift obscure now, however, is a disservice to a character that's too new to deserve such a label.
A comic book website last week with writer Shane McCarthy confirmed the upcoming 'Autobot Drift' toy. Will this be in the 25th line, and when is it likely to be released?
No, there is no character named Autobot Drift or any toy designed after the comic character coming out in our 25th Anniversary or any other Transformers line.

They can make 101 repaints of Dorito!Starscream but they can't make even one Drift? *sad face*

Our friends over at TFormers got a hold of Chris Ryall and called him out on the claim. According to Chris, Drift is still a go!
