As such, anyone showing the slightest inclination towards liking this character during his brief appearance/page-time in the All Hail Megatron series is also often met with the same contempt and scorn. Best thing you could do for yourself is forget you ever read everything about this character. From personal experience, absolutely NOBODY will respect your personal decision and the myriad number of people who were complete and total ***holes to myself and a few others over the introduction of the character was what led me to leave this site for an extended period of time. If you do decide to pick up this series, for your own sake don't tell anyone about it, don't enter into any discussions, don't even think about having an opinion because everyone here will tell you your opinion is wrong.
Before anybody jumps in my grill about this maybe you better take a good look around at the attitudes of the others on this site and ask yourselves why I've been so negative lately and on so little. What started out as a great place to commune with other collectors and fans has turned into a breeding ground for conflict, hate and derision. The real pisser is that all of you have turned the Drift character into your poster-child for all of it to. Every time I see this character now all I can think about is how many of you people on this site were absolute total pricks to a small handfull of us who found something to latch onto. Way to treat your fellow Transformer fans and collectors. Real show of community spirit. You should be proud of yourselves.
I've been very vocal in my support of both Drift and
All Hail Megatron ask Dead Metal and Darth Bombshell about it.
Personally I honestly could care less if people like or hate me because I enjoyed them. I would rather be hated for being honest, than for being loved as a liar. I'm not going to lie and say "AHM sucks" to be popular, when in fact I loved it, because that's not the way I am.
If I think something sucks or rocks then I tell people that it sucks or rocks and give my opinions as to why I think it sucks or rocks.
If I think
Transformers: Drift sucks believe me people here will know it, if I think it rocks, they will know it too. If my opinion is not popular then so be it. I'm not here to be in a popularity contest.
My only complaint was that the fact that IDW can't seem to find to colorist to help Miline's artwork without giving me eye strain. Now maybe this Perez might be the first colorist that can do that I don't know. Just being shown a cover and one page isn't enough for me to make a judgement on it.
