so sorry. I haven't been clear in my posts. I forget that there is a whole bunch of others things we are talking about here.
I meant to say "counts as" as in, I was hoping I could get him to "count as" G1 Drift but this Drift is too different for my tastes. I like him though. He'd make a cool Yoketron or maybe even Banzai-tron. In fact, he is going to be my Yoketron I think.
I avtually don't like Gen. Drift. He's too blocky, which and of itself is fine but it restricts posability severly. Yhe figure doesnt look like someone who would be light on theor feet with a sword.
The movie fig is thicktoo, but he's got more range of movement and the bulk is more evenly distributed.
Generations Drift is the one I'd prefer...but he's a bit pricey for me at the moment. That is why I'd like to find one at retail that I could agree with aesthetically.

Found on Smyths website. Looks like Drift. Was he revealed already?
Thanks for sharing this with us. Can you tell us how you found it on Smyths website? I can't find a Drift item from the Robots In Disguise toyline on their website.

Well, then that's an argument against itself since G1 Grimlock had two different character portrayals. Dimwitted cartoon version, and intelligent yet bombastic comics version.Fires_Of_Inferno wrote:Sabrblade wrote:All of the following have deviated from G1 Grimlock's form, deco, or both:

I got that feeling as well, and I don't know if it's just my bias for wolves or there's something about the design of the character that hints at him being more noble than his initial Decepticon allegiance, but I'd love to see him have a change of heart too. Of the new Decepticons, he seems the least "monstery" in bot mode. Also, G1 Steeljaw is an Autobot, and Hasbro has generally been trying to keep names with their original factions post Armada, even if the characters themselves are reimagined compared to their original depictions. Maybe his name is a hint for us of what's to come story-wise for the new cartoon?
By the way, is it just me, or does Underbite's Kreon bare more than a passing resemblance to G1 Galvatron?
