Since Samurai originally came from Japan I think Drift should of been a Acura NSX or a Lexus LFA, or even a GTR. Or since his name is Drift a Subaru WRX would of fit nicely as well. But still love the character.
If drift appeared as deadlock in dark of the moon then it would explain his low temper and him not seeing eye to eye with bumblebee. Also the likely reason drift calls Optimus sensai is because prime was the one who helped drift swap sides after the battle of Chicago therefore gaining respect.
It's great that Ken Watanabe was picked to play as Drift, really fits to its character. As he was Dr. Serizawa in Godzilla, Katsumoto in The Last Samurai and now this. 👍👍
The fact that Drift uses no guns or canons and only swords is amazing because he shows off actual skill and agility and was barely even touched by Decepticons or humans
i love the detail that drift does'nt shift into an helicopter in tf 5 because he lost one of his swords wich was previously serving as one of the blade for the propellor
@@lemnioaz3854 he still has both but just didn’t use his helicopter form because I think he just didn’t have enough screen time in TLK so there was no need
Damn. There was a comic how Drift once worked with Lockdown. Their cooperation ended with fight where our samurai won. I wish in AoE was scene with Lockdown and Drift contacting after that fight... I even figured out what their conversation would look like!
I love how most of these Bayfromers compilations centering on a specific Transformers mostly consist of said transformers being a background character in group scenes or overcrowded action scenes for about 80% of the video. And this includes freaking Starscream XD
The mighty Drift, once being a decepticon assassin by the name of Deadlock, he changed sides to the autobots after wanting to gain retribution for his past crimes and ghastly atrocities he committed, even Megatron checks under his bed for Drift.
@@kytrensol9777 Drift’s alt mode in the 5th movie is a Mercedes Benz AMG GTR, which has an 8 cylinder engine. In this shot, however, you can still see the Bugatti W16 engine block on his back. This was probably an oversight when they were updating his character model for the 5th movie.
@@boneor...7022 when he crashed on earth he literally was a warrior for Japanese armies for centuries just like bumblebee was a WW2 soldier for America
i love how the first scene we see of crosshairs you can see drifts vehicle mode with him. but the first time we see drifts robot mode hes far away and on a cliff.
Drift: "let's try and use violence as a last resort" Me: wow so wise! Drift a second later: *cuts tentacle into three pieces and then stabbing the monster repeatedly Me: well that escalated quickly :/
Intresting fact here: you can see drift in tf4 is colored blue and in tf5 its changed to red. Why? According to its color, blue means: serenity, stability, inspiration, wisdom or health. While red is: health, vigor, war, courage, anger, love and religious fervor. Thats why in 2 movies drift's attitude is almost changed. (Sorry if im wrong.)
Ugh! These movies have sooo much potential... I really wished they could have explored the relationship between Bee, Crosshairs, and Drift. Bee looks like the little brother to the other two, who they bullied from time to time but if anyone else dare touch him they are dead.
I read a fic where Crosshairs called him a tiny kitten because he was short, and I ended up doing a double take on the clips and realised that yeah, he is somewhat shorter than Cross.
I love how he’s a triple changer that can be a Helicopter but in so many scenes where he’s falling he never does it again He also never Transformers into a helicopter in sky of the video games or anything else either Like why
I looked it up, drift is a triple changer and he served Megatron as a deception assassin a while ago so he was with Megatron in dark of the moon behind the scenes
I remember reading the 2011 iDW Drift Comic Book back in the day, such a great introduction of the New Character to the Transformer Universe. I recommend it to anyone who's interested in learning more of Drift's background.
Before TF4 Michael Bay: Hey Drift Drift: I’m in your movies? Michael Bay: Yes Drift: Ok Michael Bay: What’s wrong? I thought you’d be happy Drift: It’s just you’re gonna turn me into a stereotype and waste me Michael Bay: No. We aren’t gonna waste you. But we’re keeping the stereotype part Drift: Not mad about the stereotype Michael Bay: You’re a triple changer. And your alt modes are, a Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4 and a Piasecki X-49 SpeedHawk Drift: I’m happy Before TF5 Drift: You’re wasting me?! Michael Bay: Yes. My penis demands that teenage girl Drift: That’s good Michael Bay: Pedo Drift: No. I’m glad I don’t have enough screen time Michael Bay: Why? Drift: Because I’m off too shoot a Cybertronian remake of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon Michael Bay: Well. I hope for the best of you
3:54 -The fact that he actually attempted to be a "violence last resort thing" guy makes me wonder why they couldn't give Optimus this kind of personality somewhat.
That's cause it was satire with Drift. He tries be peaceful and calm yet his violent nature comes out. Optimus started off a pacifist until all the backstabbing gave him a tendency to rip faces off
I gotta say, Ken Watanabe, John Goodman and John DiMaggio all sound like they're just having fun playing these giant robots who all hate each other despite being on the same team
Drift is an ex-decepticon which is why he has a short temper and usually resorts to fighting. Him modelling himself on Japanese samurai culture happens after he becomes an Autobot. During his time as a Decepticon he committed many atrocities and overtime became guilty of his actions and decided to switch sides.
My guy, Cade have the KSI drone, he probably watch all the killings or hunting of autobots and Decepticons, Remember what Ratchet said after getting his leg blown up by the the Cemetary wind? "I'm an autobots!!! I'm an Autobots!!!, i'm medical officer Ratchet, i am your friends!!!!" The Drone, probably catch that, and Cade heard that sentence
I would've loved to see Drift and Dino (Mirage) interact and fight together, both former decepticons who joined the autobots and only use blades. One of the handful of good things about the later movies is how the autobots actually have personalities and get a liiiittle bit more screentime. Dino and Drift together would be so fucking fun to watch
