DRIFT RETURNS! Last year, TRANSFORMERS readers were shocked when DRIFT left the AUTOBOTS in disgrace… and now he’s alone, on a mission to clean up the darkest depths of the galaxy-until RATCHET shows up to try to bring him home! [/quote]
[quote]It’s actually been a lot of fun coming back to Drift, a lot of fun. The biggest thing I was excited about this time was to realize this was the first time I’d been able to write Drift as I originally imagined him.
In « All Hail Megatron, » he appeared only very little. Then in the « Spotlight » and the first mini he was internally lost and hadn’t really become the character I’d first thought up. When I wrote the description for the toy (which was then chopped up for the packaging) and broke Drift down into a very concise description, the biggest feature was his cavalier attitude and humor in the face of adversity. Now I’m able to really let loose with that.
He won’t be the wacky hippie guy that’s been seen in the comics recently but, of course, the events and history of those books will all have an impact on « Empire of Stone » and the way Drift is written. That being said, there’s a liberal amount of humor in this. Drift tries his best in every situation but, yeah, often falls short.[/quote]
