Yeah, I can understand disliking the character, but frankly I don't see how he's offensive enough to warrant hate. Characters like Skids and Mudflap from the movie I could perhaps understand.

On a sidenote, doesn't that picture of the black bot look like he's stepping on Hotrod's/Rodimus's head?

Hehe, I believe it's just a generic bot. At least I hope so. Hot Rod's got a fair beating in the IDWverse already

Ah, the love....
You know what? No matter what anyone does or says, no matter how much a story or a character is loved or hated, there will ALWAYS be someone who is never going to be satisfied.

I've been saying I like Drift all along - no one has really beat me up over it. Of coarse, no one really talks to me, either....

Ah, the love....

Best thing you could do for yourself is forget you ever read everything about this character. From personal experience, absolutely NOBODY will respect your personal decision and the myriad number of people who were complete and total ***holes to myself and a few others over the introduction of the character was what led me to leave this site for an extended period of time. If you do decide to pick up this series, for your own sake don't tell anyone about it, don't enter into any discussions, don't even think about having an opinion because everyone here will tell you your opinion is wrong.

Before anybody jumps in my grill about this maybe you better take a good look around at the attitudes of the others on this site and ask yourselves why I've been so negative lately and on so little. What started out as a great place to commune with other collectors and fans has turned into a breeding ground for conflict, hate and derision. The real pisser is that all of you have turned the Drift character into your poster-child for all of it to. Every time I see this character now all I can think about is how many of you people on this site were absolute total pricks to a small handfull of us who found something to latch onto. Way to treat your fellow Transformer fans and collectors. Real show of community spirit. You should be proud of yourselves.

I've been very vocal in my support of both Drift and All Hail Megatron ask Dead Metal and Darth Bombshell about it.

Personally I honestly could care less if people like or hate me because I enjoyed them. I would rather be hated for being honest, than for being loved as a liar. I'm not going to lie and say "AHM sucks" to be popular, when in fact I loved it, because that's not the way I am.

If I think something sucks or rocks then I tell people that it sucks or rocks and give my opinions as to why I think it sucks or rocks.

If I think Transformers: Drift sucks believe me people here will know it, if I think it rocks, they will know it too. If my opinion is not popular then so be it. I'm not here to be in a popularity contest.

My only complaint was that the fact that IDW can't seem to find to colorist to help Miline's artwork without giving me eye strain. Now maybe this Perez might be the first colorist that can do that I don't know. Just being shown a cover and one page isn't enough for me to make a judgement on it.

Ah the hour long discussions T-Max and I had about why Drift sucks and why not, I think we settled it by saying discussing it for so long sucks and that we had better things to do then argue about something as trivial as Drift. And damn where those discussions heated and full of hate and patriotism.

You think you loved Drift or AHM? Pah that's nothing for what T-May feels for them, believe me.

Sure I hate Drift and the material he sprung from but I hate Shane McCarthy even more, god damn you McCarthy!

Lets stop this stupid dispute OK? Seriously This is getting stupid and it bores me, I will always hate the way McCarthy ruined my second favourite comic series right after Spider-Man and you will always love him for exactly that, but fact is idw doesn't give a toss about it all and will reboot it all once again in 2 years max. But as long as that won't be financed with any of my money I just won't care.

So stay on topic and that is this new comic series, the next to bring up something else will get hurt.

I seem to be the only one who likes Drift, AHM AND Alex Milne. But then I'm also in the minority that dislikes Wheeljack, Kup and Jetfire. Not trying to offend, I just don't like those characters.

I actually like those preview pages. The colours seem nice and vibrant. I will admit it can be difficult to discern some of Alex' work but it does make it interesting because you see something else each time you re-read it. He and James Raiz are 2 of my favourite TF artists.

While I'm more a fan of Dreamwave and Marvel, now and again IDW do get somethings right. I like Drift and also what they did with Arcee, which in a comic bsed on a toyline was rather risky.

I'm also hoping those G2 bots survive. They and the Actionmasters do get slagged a lot in the IDW books. Shame because I'm sure they would be more interesting than the likes of Optimus, Bumblebee, Springer, Kup or Wheeljack.

Looking forward to this.

I look forward to reading this. I don't expect it to be anything more than pretty filler, but in truth I enjoy filler ;P I wonder why Sunstreaker is on the cover though. Guess that's just the fangirl in me wanting to see him back in some form...

Your not the only one who like's Drift. I'm looking forward to the figure (which I think is confirmed for Generations). I just answer your respectful disliking of Wheeljack, my favorite figure Kup, and Jetfire with respectful disagreement.

So this Drift guy...he worse than Rodimus Emo?

On a second note, as soon as i saw the title, i was thinking "Fast and Furious Meets Transformers". That would be interesting.
