Drift, formally known as the Decepticon named Deadlock, is the samurai warrior of the Autobots. Drift is a reserved and disciplined Autobot who wields a variety of ancient swords with expert skill. Though he was once a Decepticon, he now seeks peace and redemption through swordsmanship, meditation, and philosophical reflection, often expressing himself through haikus. Despite his composed demeanor, he still struggles with occasional bursts of aggression, a lingering remnant of his violent past.
