So I am tired of seeing the sword for Drift sagging so I decided to do something about it. I have been building model cars for years and have lots of sheet styrene. This gave me the idea to make a new sword for Drift. Here is the start of it. The detail of the sword will be a little different but will all in all look very similar. Let me know what you think. If it comes out as nice as I would like it to I may see about molding it in resin.

Cool dual sword. Is that the excalibur sword of the autobots?

That sword has a neat history behind it. I am probably not the best person to explain it to you, but you can read about Drift (the character who owns it) and the sword here.

To my understanding it has the ability to absorb the souls of transformers - unfortunately even the beholder - so it is used sparingly. I haven't read the comics in question regarding the sword, but I would like to.
By the way, welcome to the board!!! Hope you stick around for a while. Why don't you make up your own topic in the Billboard section and tell us a little about yourself.

That was a great recap dude. Thanks, now I know for real that it was Drift. Sorry cause I'm not that fond on watching the animated transformers. I just liked transformers when it shows in 3D Video. That was so cool. Well thanks anyways.
