Now THAT is the definition of a black magic transformation! What an amazing design. I liked the idea of the AOE/TLK autobots basically taking elements from different human cultures they like and styling themselves after it.
Robot mode... Awesome. Land vehicle mode... Awesome. Helicopter mode... well, they tried. Looks more Cybertronian than Earth form to me. Hey, when doing triple changers, one mode always has to suffer. That is the nature of doing something like this. From what they've achieved, they did supremely well.
@@deathemoji no that helicopter doesnt look close to the helicopter mode we seen from the movie. try to slow down at the moment when drift transforms to helicopter and you will see some of his samurai armor parts from his thigh as the side of the helicopter mode.
@@deathemoji bro that depends on the transformer. he can use car and robot parts to form a helicopter so he can fly and he uses it for something important (like when meeting up with optimus and helping bumblebee infiltrate the ksi)
@@deathemoji like i said, that helicopter does NOT look as close as the one from the movie. and once again, try to slow down the moment when drift transforms to helicopter and you will see samurai armor on the side of his helicopter bro dont make me repeat it again
I always considered his Heli mode in the movie as more like a big drone anyway, not meant to be manned, so I'm not dissatisfied at all with this transformation. Just as a regular bot-to-car figure, this is spectacular as it is. Great review as always!
I thought it was some sort of Cybertronian alt mode that he just kept considering the robot mode doesn't have much on it suggesting a Helicopter one can consider that he's reformatted himself on the fly as much as being an actual helicopter. Some thing like this I'd kinda dig is he displayed the kibble in robot mode of what he transformed from and so each time he used a different vehicle mode as his primary his robot mode could shift in appearance too - one can perhaps get that idea from the Hasbro Helicopter Drift toy and the later remould into a Mercedes.
The designer is a genius! What a perfect transformation. And I don't even know how they made the third mode on such a compact model, so nothing to complain, the helicopter mode could be a pure bonus.
Still waiting on a black magic AOE Bumblebee. I know there's still people out there that can pull him off. The AOE character concept was so cool. Prime was a knight, Bee was a ninja, Drift a samurai, Crosshairs was a op spy, and Hound was a soldier. Pretty op team if you ask me😂
@@Tontzar yes exactly. Third party companies don't have a restricted budget to work with. If Hasbro incorporated everything that third party figures do they'd be just as expensive and wouldn't sell
You never cease to impress. The fact that you were able to transform something so complex WITHOUT INSTRUCTIONS speaks volumes to your skill and understanding of Transformers. That’s why you’re who I turn to for reviews. Keep up the amazing work!
This is genuinely the most insanely impressive transforming figure i have seen, period. The Copter mode does take a bit of a hit but just the fact they were able to add it in is impressive and shows the skill of the designers.
Honestly, die hard transformer fan. I've always been in awe of every single transformer figure (given that it actually transforms and stays together) whether it be normal, triple or a parts former. Great figure all around.
I had to rewind the transformations so many times because I couldn't help but close my eyes and take in that beautiful orchestra composing the sounds of my entire childhood 🫠
despite its flaws, it is still an impressive figure. Having only been able to afford Hasbro or Takara versions of Transformers, this figure blows my mind with its transformations. the way they packed away all the car parts in robot mode is impressive. Helicopter is a little disappointing, but it still works. nice one. 👍
Its fantastic IMO and leaps and bounds above ANY Hasbro version of the character! The engineering is so well done to make 3 modes come together. I will be adding this to my collection and great review as always! 👊
I have mine on pre-order and after watching your review, I can easily say that I can forgive the restrictions for the head movement, wrist rotation, the thigh pads restricting the range of leg movement and the fact that it is slightly off scale with other 3rd party or MPM figures. By the looks of it, I am sure that MetaGate went through a lot of QC tests and had to make this sacrifice so that they could pull off this lovely black magic transformation. And considering how long we have been waiting for ToyWorld to release their triple changers (Shatter and Dropkick), or at least give us an update about them, I could definitely say that MetaGate did an amazing job. I mean... it is a triple changer. What else could we possibly ask for from MetaGate at this point? Maybe to give us Shatter and Dropkick :))
His helicopter mode is meant to be a Sikorsky-Boeing SB-1 Defiant with a push-prop and twin coaxial fixed rotors making it a compound helicopter. It also resembles Sikorsky's X2 experimental high speed demonstrator model too.
Very excited for this guy! My biggest issue is the scale, but this looks so great otherwise that I can overlook it, even if he ends up being a "one off" in scale. While it doesn't bother me, it is weird that they used the face design from the Last Knight instead of his Age of Extinction face design. I honestly don't think the helicopter mode is bad considering everything its doing. It is an AOE design which are notorious for being difficult to do and triple changers usually have a mode that suffers and the designers made the right choice here.
This figure might be the best translation of live-action transformations to a figure. There are so many moving parts used in the figure but it doesn't look bad imo. You know it looks good when it makes UT La Hire look like a Studio Series figure in comparison. I also don't mind the way the helicopter looks. For all the screen time it got and compared to the Hasbro toy which can't even have both alternate modes on the same toy, I think it looks perfectly fine. I'm excited to see what they come up with next!
3:47 between the two I actually like Haiku's car mode more - despite my personal preference of the Aventador over the Veyron. Peru Kill's looks ever so slightly off around the wheels (often the one criticism I have for Unique Toys' offerings, which are otherwise near-perfect), but Haiku's here just have flawless proportions, which is made all the more awesome by how it's a triple-changer.
All this needs is 2 partsforming panels to plug into each side of the helicopter's body to fill out/cover all of the gaps, and give it the detail it needs. Yes, I know some people wouldn't want any partsforming-- but that's fine because it would be optional. Anyway, I hope the company or another entity decides to make some panels to upgrade this guy's chopper mode with. My figure should be arriving in a couple of weeks. Pretty excited to see this one.
I really like the detail that his odd asymmetric forearms transform differently, with the silvery engine looking arm sitting in the center where the engine would in the real car
If you stick your arm out, bent at the elbow, and rotate your hand, you'll notice that most of the forearm moves with it. That's because all the muscles for wrist movement are actually in the forearm. Forearm rotation makes his articulation even more realistic than wrist rotation would
Honestly it’s kind of a shame we never got to see Drift have a fight with Lockdown. Granted I’m pretty sure LD would have won in the end but it still would have been very good
Now that’s Is what I call black magic! He looks so accurate to the movie :0 the original Figure looks ehhhh.. not Accurate, The studio series looks good but the kibble.,But this.. This figure is what Black magic is all about! Another great review as always!👍
I actually prefer it when the Reviewer comments through the Transformation as they are Transforming the figure. That way all intricacies of the Transformation are noted by the Reviewer as they are Transforming the figure. And I like smooth Transformations with as little jump cutting and editing as possible. Especially for complex Transformations. I choose Reviewers that do this for their Transformations especially if I am trying to follow the Transformation closely.
A transformers figure. That changes into not one, but TWO, forms. And has a perfect, super posable, and movie accurate. With NO KIBBLE on the back of the robot mode has got to be the best thing I have ever seen. While, yes, helicopter isn't so good. But they made this figure was just amazing
Great review. What a transformation! I thought Perukil was the best Bayverse MP Transformer out there, but he can move over now. This thing is absolutely nuts.
This design is spectacular. Triple changer is really a challenge but they pulled it. The heli mode might not be smooth but if they improve it overtime, it might be the best transformation.
Complex but brilliant! Shame about the wrist rotation and the height but overall very well done. Also I love that Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse - that vehicle is one of my favourites.
The figure looks absolutely amazing. As for scaling, I'm hoping he will look good with the upcoming DLX TLK Optimus. I think they will scale really well together!
Even if many transformers fans ( including myself) don't like parts forming, they should have made other parts for the helicopter blades, instead of using the katanas. The robot and car modes are still awesome
this character is one of the few bayverse designs i actually like (it's basically him, hound, lockdown & squeeks - other than that i really dislike just about all of them), and, i gotta say, this figure is absolutely nuts. wish i could afford it, but, alas. i did pick up legacy jhiaxus last week, though. love it so much, although, it is the floppiest, loosest tf figure i've ever bought. the leg fins/wings don't stay put and the head flops around like an uncooked footlong hotdog. seriously. when i shake it lightly, it looks like he's having a seizure, what with all of the limbs flailing around accompanied by the 80's metal head banging. i'm gonna have to tighten every single joint up an insane amount.
I've said it before and I'll say it again,if a third party company can pull off three modes for Drift,why can't Hasbro? All problems aside, still a really cool figure.
My son and I stumbled on to this last week and he had to have it so off to showz we went to find it.. Now we just have to wait for his preorder and this review makes it that much more exciting..
I find it so amazing that a triple changer can be put in the same size as the unique toys hot rod is just… mind blowing will definitely want to pick this thing up
Great review, and this figure is the product of magic! I even like the heli mode, the designers did such a great job considering he also had to have an accurate bot and car mode!
Super review, he do not scale with other characters like in the movie, but I don't know this figure is such a banger that I don't personally mind it. And consider he is a triple changer I think this Scale fits him pretty well despise not being accurate. °~°
its a really cool figure extremely accurate to what was seen in the movie bothe modes are spot on and awesome I really like how bugattis look like they are just mwah like this figure the helicopter is also really nice and again spot on to the film. great review .
this figure shouldn’t even be real yet somehow they managed to make it work. The copter mode isn’t that great but we only saw it once in a zoomed out shot so likeeee, it really don’t matter. Genuinely hope someone goes nuts and attempts Crosshairs.
Hey so I have the figure now, and I think that the heli mode works better if you twist the head around. Also, he doesn't have wrist rotation but the whole forearm can rotate, which is a bit tough but gets him into so many great poses.
this is definitely gonna be in the top 10 best 3rd party figures, and those *swords* on his back are actually supposed to be the helicopter blades from the movie so its accurate to the movie which would mean they are not swords
Seriously, he was so cool in the movie I wish they would have just forgotten about Prime and focused more on him and other Autobots. I mean how often do you see a samurai Autobot, a cowboy Autobot and World War 2 style Autobot all roll in one movie. Anyway, it is a nice model for an underated character.
3P MP is way outta my price range as a collector, but it really is an engineering feat that they've made a Bayverse triple changer. My hat goes off to you, MetaGate!
That helicoper mode is a real shame. It almost looks to me like they only included so they could market the figure as a triple changing drift considering how simplistic the transformation is compared to the car mode transformation
although I'm not a big fan of faux parts incorporated in transformations, i can't help but forgive the use of the faux chest, as the coolness of this figure just overshadows my personal prejudcie over faux parts.
What do you guys think of this new format for transformations of more intricate third-party figures?
Cool, great videos
I think the figure is just pure black magic amazing and honorable. Can't wait for them to make a crosshairs
I LOVE IT LESS GOO
It looks like shit, like it's gonna broke any moment and Tha helicopter mode looks worse than SS rotf Soundwave alternate mode
Its really cool more realistic movie Figur and more steps to transformation
Absolutely beautiful robot mode, and an almost just as good car mode. Unfortunate the helicopter mode had to suffer. Nice review as usual :)
Well actually his helicopter mode isn't even a actual helicopter
I agree with you! & thanks so much!
@@Deathbot884 True, the helicopter mode looks like a lego technic set, rather than actual real life helicopter.
they are but mortal men, the car mode already required the sacrifice of Steve from accounting
The fact that it's even able to turn into a helicopter while keeping the other 2 modes in tact is insane
Now THAT is the definition of a black magic transformation! What an amazing design.
I liked the idea of the AOE/TLK autobots basically taking elements from different human cultures they like and styling themselves after it.
I agree! The third party game just turned the heat UP!
Bugatti is French/German though. So idk if they should’ve used a Bugatti for a samurai themed transformer.
@@GoldAk47 I see Drift like a European who became a samurai.
Just like the Obsidian Samurai, Yasuke (but he's from Africa instead).
@@GoldAk47Italian/French.
Sooo.... he's like William Adams?
Robot mode... Awesome.

And pretty underrated movie.
Takara needs to hire these toy designers ASAP.
100%!
Nah, theyll have to work with Hasbro and their ass budget.
@@Tontzar yes exactly. Third party companies don't have a restricted budget to work with. If Hasbro incorporated everything that third party figures do they'd be just as expensive and wouldn't sell

The bugatti and robot modes are so good.

Wow! This looks insane! I have to get one. Thanks for the review.
Thanks so much!
Ken Watanabe was perfectly as Drift in the last two movies. I love how he portrayed the alien robot haiku-spitting samurai.

The helicopter mode is definitely peak janky, but the fact they got it in there at all is amazing.
Great review as usual! They did this figure justice, and it scales pretty good with the bs03 prime👏🏾!
Thanks so much! & yes BS03 is probably the best figure to pair him with
@@PrimeVsPrime it just sucks he doesn’t scale with the other figures😕
Gonna go out on a limb and say this one of the best Transformers toys EVER CREATED. PERIOD.

I agree! He’s one of my fave designs too!
Honestly it’s kind of a shame we never got to see Drift have a fight with Lockdown. Granted I’m pretty sure LD would have won in the end but it still would have been very good
I really appreciate that he has sword wielding wrists, something very underrated and perfect for Drift
what an INSANE and unimaginable figure! 🤯
also I love the transformer’s theme and Jablonsky’s theme..nice 👌🏽
Thank you! :)

There's more transformation on one leg than in the whole SS devastator
Haha that is so true lol!

That robot mode is stellar.
Robot 10/10

I actually been waiting for this
This thing actually looks fun to mess with, and not at all frustrating tbh. Really good figure imo
Even if many transformers fans ( including myself) don't like parts forming, they should have made other parts for the helicopter blades, instead of using the katanas. The robot and car modes are still awesome

This is the best from the best transformer toy i have ever seen, the engineer and designer have reached the god level now
Finally the review I’ve been waiting for

I've said it before and I'll say it again,if a third party company can pull off three modes for Drift,why can't Hasbro? All problems aside, still a really cool figure.
the making of it is also amazing, we can't compare it with movies, when it's so far from reality

Was gonna ask for a scale comparison with Peru Kill.. and it’s the first comparison you did !
Great review, and this figure is the product of magic! I even like the heli mode, the designers did such a great job considering he also had to have an accurate bot and car mode!
creators of Peru kill lockdown: we have made the most perfect transformer ever. creators of triple changer drift: hold my beer.
Definitely will be getting this as he is my favorite Bayverse Transformer
All i can say about the helicopter mode is that ,it is more like a Cybertronian helicopter drone of some sort.
Imagine when they'll do Shatter and Dropkick the marvelous figures they'll release but I hope they will be in scale with Magnificent Prime
Great figure didnt really like the helicopter mode but looks good anyway i hope we get more figures from them
Great review but one thing that killed me was when you referred to the rear fenders of the Bugatti as “mudflaps”
Super review, he do not scale with other characters like in the movie, but I don't know this figure is such a banger that I don't personally mind it. And consider he is a triple changer I think this Scale fits him pretty well despise not being accurate. °~°
probably the best triple changer I have seen .
its a really cool figure extremely accurate to what was seen in the movie bothe modes are spot on and awesome I really like how bugattis look like they are just mwah like this figure the helicopter is also really nice and again spot on to the film. great review .
I agree! Very accurate! & thanks so much!
this figure shouldn’t even be real yet somehow they managed to make it work. The copter mode isn’t that great but we only saw it once in a zoomed out shot so likeeee, it really don’t matter. Genuinely hope someone goes nuts and attempts Crosshairs.
he used his helicopter mode in the ksi raid scene
I agree! Like I would never have thought it would be possible to give us Drift at this level 🤩
Crosshairs would be impossible
@@hasefharris357 not with that attitude
@@hasefharris357 I thought the same for a proportional Drift. I don’t expect a perfect flowing trench coat but something more complex.
Nice review! Reminds me of Thrilling 30s Springer. Although I think this one is more intricate and probably more expensive
Hey so I have the figure now, and I think that the heli mode works better if you twist the head around. Also, he doesn't have wrist rotation but the whole forearm can rotate, which is a bit tough but gets him into so many great poses.
this is definitely gonna be in the top 10 best 3rd party figures, and those *swords* on his back are actually supposed to be the helicopter blades from the movie so its accurate to the movie which would mean they are not swords
Seriously, he was so cool in the movie I wish they would have just forgotten about Prime and focused more on him and other Autobots. I mean how often do you see a samurai Autobot, a cowboy Autobot and World War 2 style Autobot all roll in one movie.
Anyway, it is a nice model for an underated character.
3P MP is way outta my price range as a collector, but it really is an engineering feat that they've made a Bayverse triple changer. My hat goes off to you, MetaGate!
all right. I'll admit it-- that helicopter mode looks like it's made out of ABC gum and butcher knives
The robot mode dont look like it can transform in any of the transformations this is trully magnificent
I'm not a fan of the live action bots, but this is fantastic, you can't even be mad about the heli mode when the two other modes are so clean
Rewatch AOE, his helicopter really is a crumpled robot. Literally by design
Awesome! Now I'm hoping for a Crosshairs one. Soooo hyped
That helicoper mode is a real shame. It almost looks to me like they only included so they could market the figure as a triple changing drift considering how simplistic the transformation is compared to the car mode transformation
It's about time we got a triple changer Drift toy
I never thought a third-party toy company would make Drift as a triple changer. This must be more expensive than an average MPM figure.
Drift's helicopter mode in the movie kind of looked like a fan mode to begin with and it's a more or less faithful recreation of the source material.
Agreed!
although I'm not a big fan of faux parts incorporated in transformations, i can't help but forgive the use of the faux chest, as the coolness of this figure just overshadows my personal prejudcie over faux parts.
Drift saying “smartass” in the movie really got me off guard😂
