Most mechs that have met Driftwinder for more then a few kliks have all come to one very horrifying conclusion, and that is the fact that Driftwinder has something loose up in his mainframe. As the quirky and happy one of the group you would think he was the life of the unit...it is amazing just how much being happy can take a toll on you in this base, a lot of mechs tend to leave it at that. Until they get him talking or watch him do anything related to his field of expertise. Then the wide happy grin tends to take on a slightly sharper edge to it and the little songs he makes up are not really kid friendly in the least.
Driftwinder likes explosions like a kid likes toys, and acts just like it. (Fliptop says he has footage of ‘winder snuggling a case of C4, but no one else has actually seen this footage.) Even going so far as to find reasons to build a bomb to use in a mission, no matter the mission type as a just in case excuse to do so. Though, how much actual explosive material is actually on Driftwinder at any given time is a mystery that has kept many up at night in horror when such contemplations are had.
When he’s not in his ‘Explosions Wheee” mode he turns into the loveable jerk that you can never tell if you want to truly smother them, via placing cement into their intake valves, or joke around with. He walks the thin line between a good nature jokester and a barb slinging bastard of a mech, though he from time to time falls to one side or the other for his own amusement. Especially, as next to Backbeat, he has the most knowledge and assimilation experience to get along with the random humans assigned to their neck of the woods. A fact that has brought about more then once a series of lost in translations fiascoes when a new schmuck gets assigned to them. Be they Autobot or human.
