- Drift is a Decepticon and later an Autobot from the Cyberverse continuity family.
Drift was once a Decepticon named Deadlock, but it didn't take long after Megatron launched his revolution for him to realise that he didsn't fit in with the Decepticons.

Fiction
Cyberverse cartoon
Early in the Great War, Deadlock, wishing to defect from the Decepticons, was brought to Maccadam's by Bumblebee, who needed to find Optimus Prime to get his new friend to safety. Unfortunately, news of Deadlock's defection had reached Megatron who personally followed them to the bar and intended to use Deadlock as an example to others. Before the tyrant could slay the traitor, Maccadam intervened and demanded that there would be no fighting in his bar. After Megatron stormed out, Maccadam told Deadlock that he was welcome to stay in the bar as a refuge for as long as he needed. Maccadam's
After joining the Autobot forces, he changed his name to Drift, and joined the crew of the Ark on its quest for the AllSpark. Sabotage
Notes
- Drift's design is based on a fan design made by Guido Guidi on his DeviantArt, though there are a some differences, like the placement of the Decepticon sigil, and the cockpit of the alt-mode on his chest.
- It's not entirely certain if Drift is actually a member of the Ark's crew yet, as the memory of Bumblebee's that he appeared in as such had been modified by Shockwave.
