Some sketch to show Drift design's development, from the early idea to the final concept.
First sketch was just done without too much thinking and it was quite banal.
After getting more input from Shane McCarthy, I developed it in his final form, which I think was a vast improvement ;)

One, Poochie needs to be louder, angrier, and have access to a time machine. Two, whenever Poochie's not onscreen, all the other characters should be asking "Where's Poochie"? Three...

Most excellent! I really can appreciate seeing the early designs and how they evolve to the final form.

The first one to the left looked so badass and cute at the same time... but too Super Robo looking for Transformers, hehe. The one in the middle is cute!!

In the end... Drift looked very slim compared to the early designs O_O

Yes, co-creator Shane McCarthy suggested me to make Drift's body frame more similar to Blurr's, and I think he nailed that.

Hehe, I figured as much. Ever since I first saw him in AHM I thought he looked a lot like Blurr, but a little more "blocky"... but that resemblance always made me wonder if Drift was also fast in both robot and vehicle mode or just average speed like any regular mech... ^^'

Yes, he was supposed to be an high-speed 'bot like Blurr - but not at Blurr's levels.

I just love the way IDW is writting his history. especially with the secret sect of non-alligned cybertronians. that way he can do things more his own way.

I agree about sketch 1 being banal. The armor looks bulky and could impair him mor than help him.
