That's just a red deco of his old toy I believe.

I kinda feel like I have to apologise to RiD Windblade now for making fun of how overwhelmingly red she was...

Am I the only one that wants to buy an AOE Drift and a TLK Drift and have them as a "Red Oni/Blue Oni" pair of OCs? I still want to track down a Generations Drift at some point, but the Movieverse toys do look cool with their fusion of modern sports car and ancient samurai armour aesthetics.

check out the chest. Also, the car mode is different.

Nope, new mold, or at east heavily retooled. His new toy is a Mercedes AMG, his old toy was a Bugatti Veyron.
Substantially different alt modes, and robot mode parts.
Old Deluxe mold, Bugatti:
There are some similarities sure, but it looks like a different mold to me.

There's a ton of similar details though, even for the same character. I think this is a retool or at least there's shared parts.

Jet Megatron looks sweet. I think AoE Hound looks waaaaay better than this new version. (Also I happen to have an extra still in the box never opened AoE Voyager Hound.)

Guys (and girls), Drift is a retool:
The new parts are in the chest, head and the car shell.

Yep retool, although one that detracts a bit from the original. The car shell was replaced and now reversed, but now there is also a fake car front instead of the actual car front.
The head is the same as well, I'm pretty sure.
And I would be tempted to get him for the red oni/blue oni, but I don't need him. His AoE self looks better and I may get the legion just for the color change and it looks somewhat good

There's also new tires, and new ankle panels. They retooled the car shell, Robot mode is apparently the same robot with a new chest.
Though that begs the question of where the car front ends up now, since in the original it was his actual chest piece. Now it probably just hangs off the back.

Is the head really the same? Looked different to me, like it was his face rather than a mask like the AOE one hinted at.

I think it's the same, but it's hard to tell.
Also, I just found the car front: look at the back of his feet. You can see the front grill complete with the circle where the emblem goes (facing backwards but the circle where it goes is visible) sitting there.

Makes sense, he is reversed after all. Thats kinda clever. I think I will get this guy afterall, I do like samurai TFs.

Indeed it appears that's it. The Mercedes Emblem ends up on his heel.
As to the face, looks a bit happier than the old one, and, forgive me for this: has more defined cheekbones...
Also the helmet seems to be slightly different.

While I think I prefer the AoE chest on Drift I think I like his red colouration more. Are people still gonna say his gold/yellow face is racist though?

Well the backwards shell on the car is certainly something I've never seen before.
