Drift (Cyberverse)

This subject of this article goes by multiple names that apply to other articles as well. See Drift (disambiguation), Deadlock (disambiguation).

Drift is a Decepticon and later an Autobot from the Cyberverse continuity family.

"The dragon is sated."

Drift was once a Decepticon named Deadlock, but it didn't take long after the launch of Megatron's revolution for him to realise that he didn't fit in with the Decepticons. He believed in a more honorable lifestyle than the sort his fellow 'Cons preferred, and so, given a chance, he jumped at the opportunity to make his own path. Now he has a new name and a new purpose in life as part of the Autobot cause.

• Deadlock (Warrior Class, 2019)
  • Action Attack: ???

Cyberverse Warrior Class Deadlock is a Deluxe-size mold that converts from robot into a sports car. His Action Attack feature consists of flip-out blades on his forearms, activated in robot mode. While he has the correct colors, the white and purple appear to be swapped if compared to the cartoon model.

Notes

• Deadlock's design is based on a fan design (itself based on G1 Springer) by Guido Guidi - though there are some differences, like the placement of the Decepticon sigil and the cockpit of the alt-mode on his chest.
