Transformers Collector's Club Shattered Glass Drift Revealed

hehe, Deadpool. I hope he comes with a comic. That would be awesome.

i dont know the alt-mode looks fantastic, the bot mode almost a bit too much red for me.

Wow! You can really tell FunPub isn't even trying anymore. I wouldn't be surprised if they lifted that entire bio from some Marvel wiki entry or toy card back bio or something and just went Ctrl+F and replaced "Deadpool" with "Drift". The whole Shattered Glass universe idea just seems lazy to begin with. But even that idea could have been interesting if executed properly. Instead we got cookie cutter characters in formulaic stories. This "Drift" is the worst of the bunch yet. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if Marvel sues for plagiarism. I would have rather bought this figure if they released him as an actual Marvel Crossovers Deadpool. FunPub is quickly replacing Dreamwave as the Image Comics of Transformers.

So an Deadpool homage,hun?

I'm surprised they didn't give him Blurr's guns. I do like the mold, but I cannot stand that gummy sword. The short swords are alright.

Ummm yeah, I'm gonna pass on this...'nuff said!

Drift comes with Blurr's guns too.

Pistols only, not the rifle.

It's a throwback to one of G1 Kup's stories from Alpha 9. Supposedly they're either pretty dangerous or tame.

Originally he had the Kanji for "Ice" on his doors but now it's a new Kanji that looks familiar but that I can't quite place. Does anyone know what it is?

You need to brush up on your kanji a bit. Drift had the kanji for samurai on his doors, SG Drift had the kanji 永 for "eternity" (nagai or tokoshie'ni). I agree it's close to 氷, which means "ice".

Thanks for clearing that up, even though I thought the original kanji stood for his name, Drift... And no... I know nothing about kanji... so thanks!

Actually in the comics Drift had his name spelled out in katakana, the script used for loanwords.

I'm looking into the Kanji that has apparently replaced it, gimme a sec.

And I think I found it. It's not Japanese, rather it's Chinese: 定 this character reads as ding, and its basic meaning is "to settle".

Ah, I only saw a blurry picture at Botcon. The lower kanji is what was on SG Drift's doors at Botcon, the upper one is what I thought it was.

Bleh, looking at it closer, 定 can still be either Chinese or Japanese. Meaning's the same tho: to settle, decision, in that direction. How do you pronounce it you ask?

Chinese: ding
Japanese: tei or jou

And the 2012 "TFA: Cheetor Award" goes to .....

The original mock-up had the kanji for "Eternity" on the door, as well as "Eternity" and "Fire" on the front above the headlights.
