Started thinking about potential Drift ships and my brain settled on Ironhide/Drift for a little bit before realizing that’s basically hound/drift again but a little to the left 😂 Like oh, big tough guy who’s actually more of a big softie than he likes to admit? That sounds familiar….
But it does makes for a very funny concept of Drift and Hide having a fling at some point and then Drift later ending up with Hound. The ‘Our guy here has a type’ progression lmao
I feel like bay Drift would be the type to think any bot competent with a weapon is hot. He sees a big bot with big guns, and the confidence that comes from knowing what the hell he’s doing, and from there is constantly keeping that bot in his peripheral. Just watching. :3c
Hound would definitely be the more abrasive one, while Ironhide is more mellowed. Ironhide and Drift would definitely hit it off easier, but still after some time has passed. Ironhide would be wary of Cons. (Maybe he can smell it on Drift still, like all Decepticons have this scent about them, and it takes a while for it to go away.)
