Drift (Kre-O)

Drift is an Autobot from the brick-built world of Kre-O.

"And I'm not middle-aged. I'm 37."

Drift is an Autobot samurai warrior who likes to play fetch with Slug. Sometimes he's an individual bot, and sometimes he's a triple changer.

Kre-O cartoon

Drift participated in a giant battle against the Decepticons... until Optimus began recapping the live-action film series to the audience. Drift had to interject a couple of times during Optimus's monologue to correct a few errors on Optimus's part, and punctuated the overview of the Revenge of the Fallen film by blowing up a pyramid prop.

The Drift Kreon is based on the Drift from Age of Extinction. He comes with swords. The set also comes with a buildable beast Slug, which Drift can ride and gore down poor Vehicons. Drift also comes with a new helmet which is a hybrid between a Samurai helmet and a Triceratops' head.

• Autobot Drift (Kreon Triple Changer, 2015)
  • Accessories: 2 swords

• Known designers: Evan Brooks (Hasbro)^[1]

Kreon Triple Changer Autobot Drift mooshes all the incarnations of Drift into one form! This built-up Kreon transforms from robot to sportscar to helicopter, without needing to be disassmebled. His general appearance is based on Generation 1 Drift, his altmodes come from Age of Extinction Drift, and of course his micro-Kreon Mini-Con partners Slipstream and Jetstorm hail from Robots in Disguise Drift.

Drift (along with Blitzwing) was shown at Toy Fair 2015, but no accounts of it seeing release in any market have ever surfaced.

Proceed on your way to oblivion. This item has been canceled, with no current plans for release.

Notes

• While his toy is based on Age of Extinction Drift, his appearance in the Kre-O comic is based on the original Generation 1 incarnation of the character. As with other cameo Kreons, he uses existing Kre-O pieces for his design, sporting the Prowl/Bluestreak helmet and a katana-style sword on his back.
