PUNTATA 3: DRIFT, uno stoico samurai robot

I fan di primo pelo dei Transformers, quando sentono nominare un certo Autobot spadaccino dai tratti orientaleggianti e dal rigido codice d’onore, certamente si domanderanno: ma chi è ‘sto tizio? Ebbene, questo personaggio è stato creato dalla mente di Shane McCarthy e dalla matita dell’italiano Guido Guidi, mossi dall’idea di sapere cosa accadrebbe se un ex Decepticon diventasse un Autobot; nasce così DRIFT, uno spadaccino dall’apparente aspetto angelico per via della prevalenza del bianco nella livrea.

Dal punto di vista etimologico, il suo nome è basato sul “drifting” (cioè “derapare”),tecnica di guida giapponese che molti automobilisti professionisti usano spesso per superare le curve più strette del circuito senza perdere velocità: questo è il motivo per cui il personaggio in esame ha assunto l’altmode terrestre di un’auto sportiva, figlia di un bolide di Fast and Furious e una NASCAR. Nome e altmode a parte, sono le origini da Decepticon a renderlo unico e “stoico”. Infatti, prima di essere il Bot che noi tutti conosciamo e amiamo, Drift si chiamava Deadlock; dapprima uno sfortunato senzatetto che viveva in strada a rubacchiare Energon per sopravvivere, poi fedele guerriero al soldo di Megatron che “combatte contro gli Autobot con una coppia di potenti fucili”, prima di “raggiungere l’illuminazione” grazie ad un pugno di Cybertroniani neutrali del cosiddetto “Circolo della Luce”.

L’esordio del personaggio risale al 2008 tra le pagine IDW, anche se in quel caso (All Hail Megatron #5) era solo una mera comparsa; per la prima vera apparizione in cartaceo dobbiamo aspettare l’anno seguente, per lo Spotlight: Drift, ma le aspettative sono state tutt’altro che rosee: ciò che leggiamo in queste tavole sembra la bozza di una sceneggiatura scritta troppo in fretta, con situazioni stereotipate scopiazzate a destra e manca e ributtate assieme alla rinfusa. L’effetto pathos e la voglia di leggerne ancora che l’autore, forse, si illude di creare non rivelando tutti gli elementi della storia di Drift non nasce nel lettore. Peccato, però, che non tutti la pensavano in questo modo, tanto che nel 2010 la IDW ha addirittura pubblicato una miniserie dedicata a Drift e sempre scritta da McCarthy. Il tiro è lievemente migliorato, perché questa volta leggiamo le origini del personaggio da rude Decepticon braccato da un feroce cacciatore di taglie, fino a ricevere finalmente l’aspetto che abbiamo imparato a conoscere. Negli anni Dieci del Duemila, nel frattempo, Drift diventa a tutti gli effetti l’Autobot preferito della IDW al punto da ritrovarlo come protagonista nella saga Empire of Stone e poi tra gli Autobot protagonisti di More than Meets the Eye prima e Lost Light poi. Da allora, sfortunatamente, Drift non è più comparso in altri media in quanto personaggio esclusivamente dei fumetti... fino al 2014.

Quell’anno, infatti, segna il suo ritorno in chiave moderna col debutto sul grande schermo negli ultimi capitoli della saga Transformers live action diretta da MichaelBay, ovvero L’Era dell’Estinzione e L’Ultimo Cavaliere! In questo caso, se l’originale omonimo “cartaceo” ricordava in parte un samurai, il Drift bayformer appesantisce il concetto tanto nel look quanto nella parlata: una caricatura di MTMTE ed è pure un Triple Changer, poiché oltre alla modalità di Bugatti Veyron sfoggia anche quella di elicottero. In effetti, Drift è il primo “Tripla Azione” del Movie-verso, considerando i due altmode completamente diversi e non uno ibrido dell’altro. E sebbene sia un’altra caratteristica fondamentale del Drift originale e che sia menzionata nelle Bio dei personaggi, il fatto di essere un ex-Decepticon non viene mai detto nel film. Magari gli sceneggiatori sono partiti da Springer (famoso Autobot nel brand armato di spada e con due altmode proprio di auto ed elicottero) per creare il personaggio che poi è divenuto Drift. Guerriero giapponese a tutti gli effetti, seppur stereotipato fino al midollo, e con una nuova livrea nera e blu con tocchi dorati... per poi diventare rosso e nero e con l’altmode di Mercedes AMG GT R nel successivo capitolo della saga di Bay.

Ovviamente non possiamo non menzionare delle brevi particine in altri universi TF. Ad esempio, per la serie Animated, c’è un Drift nel volume The Complete AllSpark Almanac del 2010, sebbene il suo design somigliante a Blurr/Cheetor non piacesse al padre della serie in persona, Derrick J.Wyatt. Due anni dopo, riappare nell’universo speculare Shattered Glass nei panni di un guerriero sempre pronto a “spazzare via quegli invasori che osano varcare la soglia del suo universo”. Quest’ultima versione, inoltre, nasconde una piccola, divertente curiosità: Drift è stato per la prima volta descritto dalla Fun Publications (cioè la casa proprietaria dell’officiale Club dei Collezionisti Transformers e della Convention ad essa dedicata) come “il Bot chiacchierone”. Infatti, se il G1Drift è un “oscuro ninja” cauto, silenzioso e prudente, lo Shattered Glass è letteralmente il suo esatto opposto; un folle mercenario, appunto, che è solito rompere la quarta parete spesso e volentieri esattamente come l’(anti)eroe più pazzo e degenerato della Marvel, Deadpool!

Nella primavera del 2015, in occasione dell’arrivo della nuova serie animata successiva a Prime, Drift esordisce anche in TV in Robots in Disguise, più precisamente nel dodicesimo episodio della Stagione 1, intitolato La Stagione di Caccia: qui la squadra di Bumblebee si ritrova ad affrontare il noto robot-samurai e la sua nemesi, il Decepticon Fracture, impegnati ad aggiudicarsi la taglia che l’Alto Consiglio ha posto sulla testa di Bee dopo la sua irruzione in un certo museo su Cybertron. Solo cinque episodi dopo, Si è Perso un Minicon!, si assiste al suo ingresso permanente nel Bee Team, diventando uno degli Autobot principali del cast. Curiosamente, in questa serie, Drift ha mantenuto sì il look da samurai, ma più edulcorato e con un’inedita combinazione di arancione/nero/rosso che ironicamente era il primo schema cromatico usato nei primi concept art della sua controparte cinematografica. In realtà, troviamo diverse parti in comune tra i due Drift: in primo luogo, usano lo stesso codice d’onore personale in combattimento, quindi condividono quella magica aura stoica che rende entrambi i personaggi “mistici”; in secondo luogo, l’altmode del RiD Drift ricorda una Bugatti Veyron, appunto lo stesso veicolo nel quale si trasformava la sua controparte filmica; infine, il rapporto tra lui e Bumblebee è simile sia nel cartone che nel film, in quanto hanno pareri contrastanti su leadership, strategia e combattimento tali da far nascere in loro una lieve rivalità. Ciononostante, si comportano come dei buoni compagni di squadra tanto sul campo di battaglia quanto fuori.

Ben più innovativa è la controparte Cyberverse del 2018/19, in cui il personaggio intraprende un vero e proprio percorso di transizione: questa, infatti, è indubbiamente la prima versione di Drift a essere sempre stata un Decepticon, rompendo la tradizione dei suoi predecessori permanentemente radicati alla fazione degli Autobot. Esteticamente Deadlock appare come una versione modificata del G1 Springer di Guido Guidi – seppur con alcune differenze quali la posizione del simbolo Decepticon e la cabina dell’altmode sul petto – mentre Drift è identico in tutto e per tutto all’omonimo G1 salvo per licenze stilistiche minori (i piedi che assomigliano alle calzature tradizionali giapponesi simili alle nostre infradito, per esempio).

***

Come promesso dai rumor susseguitisi durante la sua creazione e apparizione nei fumetti, anche Drift è stato riprodotto come modellino: il primo di una lunga serie ha inaugurato la linea Generations del 2010, quest’ultima allo scopo di proseguire idealmente lo stile delle precedenti Classics ed Universe 2.0. In altmode questo Deluxe si presenta come un ibrido tra una Nissan Silvia S15 e una Mitsubishi FTO e, nel complesso, è fedelissimo al design di Guidi, ogni dettaglio è riprodotto superbamente! Altmode dalla colorazione tamarra come poche, un robot che strizza l’occhio a tutti i Gundam dal ‘91 in poi, per tacer dello spadone à la Final Fantasy con tanto di kanji... due dei quali sono presenti anche sulle portiere del veicolo, tra l’altro! Di questo bestione sono susseguite altre ristampe e recolor: due Takara United (un Drift e un Blurr simili ai rispettivi Generations ma con una colorazione più fedele alle controparti cartacee), lo Shattered Glass Timeline in esclusiva per il Club dei Collezionisti, il Blurr dell’Hasbro Platinum Edition... e infine Deadlock, uscito per la linea Takara Legends.

Per il Drift bayformer, dobbiamo aspettare il 2014 per l’inedita linea del quarto film di Bay – linea che, ripetiamo, non è mai arrivata in Italia. Il Deluxe è squisitamente pregevole e ben articolato, nonostante la colorazione prevalentemente sul blu che con la controparte CG quasi non centra nulla; tuttavia, il Takara Movie Advance e l’Hasbro Platinum Edition compensano con una show accuracy migliore, mentre il modellino per la successiva linea The Last Knight è solo leggermente riscolpito e ricolorato per assomigliare al “nuovo” Drift vestito da Mercedes. Per la successiva linea celebrativa Studio Series (2019/20), viene ripresentato il modellino di cui sopra ma con una livrea molto più somigliante alla controparte cinematografica. Inoltre, abbiamo già detto che Drift è il primo effettivo Triple Changer, ma purtroppo gli addetti ai lavori non sono riusciti a replicare la cosa tra i modellini, nonostante ne esista uno a parte per la modalità di elicottero... che però è il remold di Dark of the Moon Skyhammer. Stesso discorso per il Drift elicottero della Studio Series, anch’esso remold pesante di Bumblebee (2018) Dropkick.

Anche nella linea Robots in Disguise (2015) Drift ha ricevuto millemila trattamenti. Dall’One-Step al Legion, fino al 3-Step Changers, passando poi a un Warrior da applausi e un interessante ma mediocre Deployer... sì, perché questa versione di Drift è accompagnata da Minicon, anch’essi con un look tra il samurai e il ninja: Jetstorm è quello in nero e armato di nunchuck, omonimo tanto del Generale dei Vehicon jet di Beast Machines quanto del gemello blu di Animated Jetfire. Slipstream è invece quello in rosso e armato di naginata, un omonimo questa volta del clone femminile di Animated Starscream (che solo nelle reincarnazioni più recenti è diventato un personaggio autonomo). Inoltre, il solo Warrior Drift ha ben quattro versioni (escludendo la canonica Hasbro), tra cui un Origins Drift della Takarae un Alpine Strike della Hasbro che raffigurano il personaggio con un look reminiscente alla controparte IDW G1.

Di tutt’altro stampo, invece, sono i Warrior della linea Cyberverse, che rappresentano rispettivamente l’incarnazione Decepticon e Autobot del personaggio. Nonostante i due modelli si somiglino per colore e scultura dell’altmode, i robot hanno una diversa morfologia e gimmik d’attacco, oltre al fatto che Drift è dotato di articolazioni ai polsi. Non saranno i modellini più belli della linea, ma di sicuro rendono giustizia a un Bot pesantemente sottovalutato dalla maggior parte delle masse!

***

CONCLUSIONE

Drift passerà sicuramente alla storia non solo per il fascino del suo look ispirato al paese del Sol Levante tanto amato da noi occidentali, ma anche per il carisma del personaggio raffigurato che sfocia fra l’anonimo e il conosciuto. Certo, le incarnazioni avute con gli anni sono diversissime ma tutte sono state coerenti e rispettose nei confronti del capostipite IDW. Un caso più unico che raro, detto francamente, e mi fa piacere vederlo in uno dei miei (ennesimi!) Bot preferiti. 😅

Arrivederci alla prossima puntata! 😘

Bayverse Prime NSFW headcanons

Lord help me. I've fallen helpless to this big metal daddy

In these scenarios, reader is cybertronian.

1 - We all know Bayverse Prime is considered the most violent reincarnation of Optimus Prime--which is true at times. However, when it comes to you....he is the sweetest most gentle mech there ever was. You should expect Optimus to be as gentle as he can be with you during sex. Unless you ask him to be a little rough.

2 - Every touch, every squeeze, every thrust-- he has to hold back his immense power as to not harm your smaller frame. Sometimes it's exhausting for him, so naturally he loves when you take over and ride him. He'll watch you with those beautiful ocean blue optics as you press down on his chest and move your hips in the most painstakingly pleasurable and sinful way. His large hands grasping your hips as you do so.

3 - Prime is always so busy and stressed that really the only thing that he can use for stress relief is you. Naturally with being the leader of the free galaxy comes many frustrations. He absolutely adores when he can come home at night and make love to you. He'll do it in many ways. He likes to switch it up. For example, sometimes he'll lay you down on your back and watch you squirm for his shaft, or he'll bend you over and watch your hands try and find something to grasp as he slams into you from behind. Hell, he will even sometimes take you roughly against the wall.

4 - He almost always has to hush you with his hands though. The pleasure he gives you is other wordly--but your relationship needs to stay a secret for the good of both of you. You understand this. He's a Prime for gods sake. He can't have his men knowing he's fragging the only femme bot on their team. Just doesn't look good on his armor.

5 - Optimus isn't just fragging you though. He loves you. He is eternally grateful that you have returned his feelings and is honored you would let him pleasure you like he does.

6 - His favorite position is probably missionary. Prime is old fashioned. He likes something to get the job done, but he also loves watching your facial expressions as he plows into you. It gets his engines revving.

Your cayde stories are the best I've seen on tumblr. I definitely would love to see more whenever you feel like it (:

riverfern2073 said to luvleekaotix-imagines:

How about one with Cayde 6 falling for an exo warlock and feeling slightly embarrassed that he’s crushing on a warlock of all things😂

A/N: Cute fluffy Cayde stuff? I’m out of practice, but let me try! I’ll add the Cayde having a crush on you as a thing, but I’ll adjust the details to make it more general for all classes if you like other classes. Also thank you anon for saying my Cayde fics are some of the best you’ve seen. That’s really encouraging and sweet <3

It was extremely obvious to everyone that Cayde-6 favoured you over all other Guardians. You were quiet, hardworking, forward-thinking and possessed incredible strength; in both Light and will. The two of you seemed like polar opposites and combined with the duties of being a Guardian, it was the general consensus among your peers that things weren’t likely to work out even if you and Cayde-6 were mutually interested.

Cayde-6 knew of the rumors, so it made him a little anxious when approaching you ever about anything, but he couldn’t help it. He knew you were the strong and silent type and that he constantly had clever quips for everything and that both of you were very different, but he just gravitated towards you.

It wasn’t like you were completely unaware of rumours floating around, but you ignored all of them unless they important to your duty. People’s feelings waxed and waned like the phases of the moon and you felt like it was waste of time to keep up with it all, which is why you never worried too much about what was said regarding you and Cayde-6.

Honestly, despite some people finding Cayde-6’s flashy personality annoying at times, you liked it. You were so used to being straightforward and introverted that whenever Cayde-6 was around it was refreshing. While other people found your silence to be awkward or unnerving, Cayde-6 never seemed to mind. He never treated you any differently, never seemed intimidated or scared and even if you didn’t outwardly laugh at his jokes or antics, he enjoyed your smile.

It was one particular evening that Cayde-6 did something that was particularly surprising to everyone. Everything had gone right for him the moment he had risen to start the day—reports were completed without a hitch, guardians cleared missions without any unexpected interruptions, there were cool explosions and one incredibly disgruntled looking Zavala after one really funny joke at the Titan’s expense.

It was also the scheduled maintenance day for your sparrow, which meant you were going to visit the hangar. You turned up a few minutes early as you usually did and signed in with Holliday and her support team before turning on your heel to leave.

“Hey! You weren’t going to leave without saying ‘hi’ to your favourite Vanguard, right?” Cayde-6 leaned against the support beam in his usual spot, trying to look as ‘cool’ as he usually did and not let you know that he was kind of nervous. “Wait, favourite Hunter Vanguard.” He had to specify or else you might have named another Vanguard for kicks.

You paused and offered the Exo Hunter a small smile before wandering over to him with a small greeting wave. As you approached, Cayde-6 stood up straight to meet you properly, which he never really did. You noticed the tiny change in behaviour and tilted your head slightly in a questioning pose.

“What’s with that look?” He was usually okay with pressure, but definitely not when it came to you. Cayde-6 broke immediately. “Nothing’s wrong. Why would you think that?” When you casually put a hand on your hip and shifted your pose slightly the Exo waved his hands. “Seriously—does that look of your’s work on Ikora because I would pay a lot of money to see a showdown between the two of you.” He leaned forward conspiratorily, “My money’s on you, so don’t let me down.”

You let up a bit and smiled again which made the Exo relax.

“So… Just asking, it’s no big deal—” Cayde-6 rubbed the back of his head before crossing his arms in front of him and then dropping his arms to rest kind of casually as his sides. You watched him shift uncomfortably and shook your head; so there was something up. “—It’s not a big deal, but if you’re free maybe—I mean if you feel like it, since you’re waiting for your sparrow to be serviced anyway—maybe—you’d like to get a drink with me?”

It was nerve-wracking for Cayde-6 to wait for any kind of response from you and it was even worse because all you did was stare. You hadn’t even blinked as a response to his stammered request. Maybe he should repeat it and do his best Zavala impression so his words came out stronger or something?

The silence was bordering on uncomfortable before you nodded. “Okay.” Your response was quiet but clear. You reached for Cayde’s hand with both of yours and gave it a squeeze to make sure he understood that your answer was positive.

“Really?” Cayde-6 very nearly squeaked, but then cleared his throat. “Yeah, I mean—awesome. I know a nice place at the bazaar—hey, maybe we can get some spicy ramen too, eh? Are you a fan of ramen? I think we had this conversation before, but I’m not sure.” Playing it cool was not going to work as he was buzzing from excited energy, as well as the sparkly fuzzies you gave him your touch.

There was a quiet laugh from you as you tugged on his arm to lead the way out of the hangar. The Exo Hunter continued to chatter all the way to the exit.

As soon as the two of you were out of earshot, it was like the entire hangar exhaled in unison. “I thought he was gonna mess that up.” Holliday announced and there was a general hum of agreement from around her. “Alright, who owes who money? I know some of you owe me—I knew it was gonna happen sometime this week. C’mon, pay up.”

This was based on @the-sinful-voice-witch 's post about the first interaction between Amy and Sonic in the movie. I couldnt stop thinking about it so I HAD to draw it! Hope you like it!

My own Knuckles the Echidna headcanons! ❤️

• He only has a small handful of blurry memories of this parents; with those he can guess that he got his strength from his father. Sadly, he doesn’t remember how they passed.

• Underneath his big gloves are actually white claws. Every male echidna had these, hence having to wear those type of gloves, while the females had regular hands.

• Knuckles considers Sonic as his competitive younger brother and the two go out of their way to take on any bet they throw at each other.

• We know that he really loves grapes, but the purples ones are his favourite.

• Having to feed himself since his youth, Knuckles grew into a fine chef. From only using fruits from Angel Island, to savoury and spices given to him by his friends. They love his cooking.

• There is only one whom can be equal to Knuckles’ strength within an arm wrestling match - Big the Cat!

• Being isolated for so long has caused him to be a little shy around girls; especially Rouge after the Ark incident. She began acting all flirty with him and he doesn’t know how to react.

• How was Knuckles able to travel with his friends without worrying about the Master Emerald? He asked Tails to build a survalience system to keep an eye on it briefly.

Genji and Jealousy

We’re starting off with Blackwatch Genji. That’s where his insecurities are far worse. This is where his jealously stems from. His new body and comparing himself to everyone around him.

New robotic body, the flesh he still has scarred. He’s doesn’t feel like himself anymore.

Angry and disgusted of himself he feels like he isn’t worthy of anyone’s affections.

You join blackwatch shortly after him. You’re energetic, bubbly, caring, and friendly. Very much the opposite of the Blackwatch members.

You start talking to him first than the others. Trying to make conversation with him. But he’s usually unresponsive. Barely giving you a second glance.

Not because he’s annoyed by you, but because he just doesn’t understand why you’d want to talk to him out of the others.

Moira isn’t much of a friendly talker, Reyes is friendly enough but all work and rarely ever playful. Now Cassidy. Cassidy is a flirt. He’d watch him interact with you from the sidelines. Throwing you pick up line after pickup line.

Yes, Genji will get jealous over time as you continue to try to be friends with him. He slowly breaks down his walls around you.

This means when he sees Cassidy flirting with you he’d get insecure. Jealous even.

Cassidy only has a robotic arm. Genji is all metal in his eyes.

He gets moody when Cassidy walks over to the two of you, starting the conversation off with a flirtatious comment directed towards you.

Then he slinks off to go train to get whatever jealousy or anger he has building up out of his system.

He will feel guilty about getting jealous. You’ve never showed signs of reciprocating the same energy back to Cassidy. But he still gets annoyed whenever he takes your attention away from him.

The jealousy that bubbles in him when Cassidy interacts with you will slowly go away when he eavesdrops overhears a conversation between you and Cassidy. Telling him to stop with the flirting.

After that he’d be a little bit cocky around Cassidy. In a way where he gets touchy with you.

Having an arm on your back, standing closer to you than normal, walking you to places, letting you touch him when you think he needs a look over, stealing you away when Cassidy and you are in the middle of a conversation.

He’s a little shit during his Blackwatch days truly.

When both Blackwatch and Overwatch get shut down and everyone reunited years later. He won’t get as easily jealous as he used to. He’s found confidence and peace in his body thanks to Zenyatta and the other monks during his healing journey.

He’s older and more mature. More playful and carefree than he was back then. And you two are an official couple.

Yes there would be the occasional random that will try to flirt with you but he doesn’t give it a second thought anymore.

You always brush them off. There isn’t a need to be jealous since you remind him everyday of your love for him.
