I can't pretend that wasn't me. I can't stand back and ignore what I did, not any more.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Drift was constructed cold, off a line of speed-based frames. However, only a few hours after activation he was deemed 'surplus' from the line, and subsequently thrown into the streets with little knowledge of the world. He managed to survive almost through pure luck, managing to meet guttermechs who took pity on him and helped him survive.
He learned quickly from them, learning how to fight with all he had for what he had. Over the next several thousand years he drifted in and out of the guttermech lifestyle, his troubled beginning and general disrepair preventing him from having a job that matched his function.
After falling off the wagon again and in a drugged out stupor, he met Ratchet, who ended up saving his life.
Education
Little to no formal education. Most of what he knows has been picked up along the way, and so he has a very patchwork knowledge of things.
