Hello! So Slipstream & Jetstorm were Drift's students long ago when they were sparklings (and pretty much like in RiD2015, Drift left Shadow Raker to bring the two away from decepticons), and at "the Sparklings Deal" events, the two have now become adults (they are older than Atalanta or Windrider).

But being big grown robots doesn't erase their "Sensei habits" at all.

Denny "Secret" sibling, Being Introduced to Team

Russel*Bringing the rules to autobots*So We just have one rule here for every newcomer: no falling in love, my dad's sibling...

Drift: I don't think that's gonna be a problem~

Denny*Who has been cleaning the house and himself for your arrival, deadpanned glare at them*You haven't seen them!, so don't say that yet!?-

The Roar of a bike soars through the pile of junk and is heard, and at a rapid speed, it lands on the ground, but boxes of presents fly into the air, The figure on the bike is in a full-body suit. The rider makes way to Denny

Making Denny scream in fear as it zooms to him, but it lifts itself into one wheel as it stops, making him back away as the figure stops the bike finally, and it lands just INCHES from Denny's body as the figure manages to catch with ease one by one the boxed presents in a pile...

Y/n*Lifts off their helmet and sways their hair in the wind, smiles, seeing Russel* My lil Peanut~, I brought gifts for you and your friends~

Russel*Runs to hug you and is welcomed by FAT stack of cash that you sneak into his hands*YES WOOHOO!~

Y/n*Snickers at his excitement and brings Denny in for a hug, only for you to pinch his cheeks and apologize for the scare. You look at the autobots and wink at them* Dee looks at you! still wearing the cute shirts!-Oh, these must be the Autobots,s thank you for looking after my eccentric brother and the lil peanut here! I got you all gifts from my travels. From what peanut here i got some items you liked from Earth!~

Autobots*Still in awe at what just happened*...

Drift*Blinks and lets out an involuntary*...Wow

Drift: Due to personal reasons, I will be sinking to the bottom of the ocean in a large metal box-

Rusty: Did my Aucle say 'Thank you so much for looking after my little nephew~' again, and you said "Are you single?"'?

Presenting his kids students. Don't worry, they don't bite (yes they do).

low key thinking to throw in these four into my Red Guys Live AU for shits and giggles

Prime and Protector(s) // Sensitive

And this happened.

This may more or less be the Drift (IDW) you're familiar with through fan art. I mean, look at this beautiful mech.

Yeah, and then there's this Drift (Robots in Disguise) who I lovingly call Tokyo Drift (because, I mean, come on, why not) with his kids/apprentices Fast (Slipstream) and Furious (Jetstorm).
