To celebrate this blog hitting 1k follows, here's a list of Drift facts I keep in my writing reference folder, because I'm fairly assuming this is the content you're all here for considering I talk about little else.
- Drift joined the Autobots a mere 2 years before the end of the war. He never underwent the Rite of Autobrand, with his status as an Autobot being tied to a vaguely named "Reintegration Act" (of which he is the only beneficiary). His Autobot status is shown to be revokable without court or trial. (MTMTE)
- Deadlock's stated reason for fighting so hard in the war was to see the war end quickly, so that everyone could live in the fair world without fear or pain that the Cause promised would come after. He was a whole-hearted believer in the original Decepticon Cause.(Spotlight Drift [Director's Edition])
- Drift consequently left the Decepticons when he realized the war would not end unless the Decepticons were stopped. (Spotlight Drift [Director's Edition])
- Drift is a reluctant Autobot. He doesn't believe either the Decepticons or the Autobots "have it right". (Spotlight Drift [Director's Edition])
- Only Autobot High Command is aware of Drift's identity as Deadlock. Everyone else just knows he's an ex-Decepticon, but nothing more than that. (Exrid #12)
