DRIFT - from comic to TOY

Here you can compare the final toy with the early character concept I did for the IDW comics.
Please note that colors were brillantly adjusted for the comic by ~dcjosh Josh Burcham, and the toy reflected these changes as well (specifically red wrists and red details on legs).

As character, DRIFT was created from scratch by TF writer Shane McCarthy, and designed by me, following Shane's input, under the supervision of the great IDW team.
He did first appear on comics, in issue #5 of the IDW's "All Hail Megatron" maxi-series.

Hasbro liked the concept, and wanted to create a toy from it.
They did an impressive job, as they have been able to keep all the key features of this character, managing to create a very faithful, fully transformable, plastic version of Drift!
Can't wait to get the actual toy in my hands!
