Been wondering what accessories TFCC's 2012 exclusive Shattered Glass Drift come with, guns or swords? How about both? The TFCC tweeted the following in regards to their 2012 club exclusive. This also seems to play along with the way TFCC is promoting SG Drift as the Deadpool of the Shattered Glass universe, the "Mech with the Mouth".



Here's an image of the character from this year's BotCon.

epic sauce..Gonna be a long morning of f5in....

i have blur and drift. i am good

wow... always wondered what SG version of Drift would actually look like colour wise.

...quite interesting

That wing looks new.

This was a pass for me when it was announced. Yet I've moved back onto the fence. I am a sucker for weapon overload.... You almost got me back on board TFCC, almost....

This means the door panels are getting remolded. Cause you can't really switch weapon storage between Drift and Blurr.

Interesting.

Reminds me of the Eagle out of Carmageddon Carpocalyspe Now!

Me Wanty

Not only is the Drift character over-rated, he's now over-compensating.

Is the big sword the same bendy one that came with the regular Drift? If it is then it's a pass for me...

According to the tweet he doesn't come with the rifle. There's no way the club will pay for the doors to be remolded again to hold both guns and swords so it'll be up to them whether he can hold the pistols or short swords. Since the slot on the back will hold the big sword I hope they go with holsters for the pistols as anything else won't be different enough for just a repaint.

Initially I was out since I don't collect SG figures, but them working the Deadpool angle is kinda tempting me now.

No,thanks this isn't for me. it kinda looks like the Swerve red repaints that pop up in every TF toy line.

Even though he's supposed to be a Deadpool homage, I still can't help but think Prime Knockout when I look at him, I mean he's a red sportscar with white robot parts and yellow rims, how can you not think Knockout?

Deadpool personality homage, I get it now...

I was scratchin my head over aesthetic likeness.

Nice, but I like organic Deadpool just the way he is.

What's up with the shortage of fresh concepts though? I feel like we're frozen in 2008.

Poorly written and over exposed?

Bingo!

I have the old comics. They were fun, but marketing reaction to the character's popularity has resulted in overkill.

Oh god... Origins... Wolverine... oh, the humanity!
Overexposure... right on the $!

Ya... good times, but a robot version is just ill conceived in this light and at the moment.
