The extra material at the back is actually really really interesting, but I am fairly confused as to why they're re-release this issue alone, and not just include it all in either the upcoming series or in previous collections.
I mean, they had the Unlimited Drift Edition not too long ago, with both Spotlight and Mini, it could've fit right in there.

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

I find him decent even before More Then Meets the Eye.
Then again i don't hate anything about Transformers except Kiss Players and even then its more being weirded out by it then hate.

Considering Shane McCarthy has openly said he doesn't really like the live action movies or Drift's design, I kinda doubt it.Shuttershock wrote:Looks like they're trying to generate some buzz for the NEW Drift mini-series set to come out some time later.
I wonder though, is this going to be a thing like Movie Bumblebee, where we get Drift in a lot of media and he's a blue Bugatti now for no reason other than to follow the movie's lead?
Hype is hype, it's always wrong. To me Drift was always just what it says on the tin. I never made him out to be anything more than that, so I can't hate him. Shane, despite his many various mistakes in AHM, is not the worst writer I think we've had imo.Dead Metal wrote:Wanted him to die ever since.

You see what I did there? DID YOU SEE? Bad joke.

Either way, the fact Drift gets shat on in every thread and Windblade gets so much undeserved praise really gets on my wick. I don't care that people hate Drift, I do care that people are on the bullshit bandwagon behind Windblade.

I don't see how drift could honestly be seen as something other than what he is from the start. But then maybe I've been around the block on this issue enough times to know them when I see them. I wasn't around here back then though.Dead Metal wrote:?
There are more who defended Drift than Windblade, Drift gets shat on because he was sold to us as being fantastic and ended up being an underwhelming Mary Sue who's still being treated like being the bee's knees.
Windblade, however, is the product of a fanpoll, the majority of the fandom wanted a female jet and we've got it.
To me, they are effectively the same, aside Windblade having a terrible design and Drift actually looking cool.Va'al wrote:I defend both, actually.

Also I'm not gonna buy into that "we asked for this" crap because firstly "I never asked for this" and even if we voted for the female jet character I don't seem to recall there being a vote for her to be badly hamfisted into the IDW series along with a bunch of other fembots, all written and drawn women.
Honestly the sheer extent of all woman in this comic's setup makes it feel like a sexist's attempt at pretending to not be sexist. "Hey look guys, we've got all these women working on this project about adding more women into our comic. Aren't we so progressive?"To me, they are effectively the same, aside Windblade having a terrible design and Drift actually looking cool.Va'al wrote:I defend both, actually.

Except it was Barber and Roberts who introduced Chromia, Windblade and Nautica.
Scott is writing the mini-series, not her introduction into the continuity.
