Later, Kup questions Drift about his origin. He then sends Drift and Kup into a lower level by shooting a hole in the ship's wall. Drift fights alongside the Wreckers, but during the melee, Turmoil recognizes Drift as the former Decepticon Deadlock. Moments later, Turmoil, the ship's commander, appears. On an alien planet, Drift infiltrates a Decepticon ship carrying Autobot prisoners, only to confront the Autobots Kup, Perceptor and the Wreckers. Dai Atlas finally sees the good side of Drift, awarding him Wing's Great Sword in memory of his sacrifice. This turns the tide in battle and the Cybertronians take the victory. Dai Atlas then joins the battle with the rest of his Cybertronian forces. Drift grabs Wing's 'Great Sword', which, according to Wing, 'draws on the wielders spark' to enhance its abilities, and promptly kills the slaver leader.

Wing is mortally wounded by the slaver leader and dies. In issue #4, Drift and the Knights face the slavers and Deadlock. Dai Atlas disagrees, but after coaxing by several of the Knights, Dai Atlas lets them have their way, telling them he wants no part of the 'war'. Drift did not betray the Cybertronians though, warning them upon his return, and devising a plan to counterattack with a small force of 'Knights'. They forge a plan for Drift to betray the unaligned Cybertronians. The Cybertronians receive a signal that Drift recognizes as a Decepticon message and sneaks out to meet them, finding the Decepticon Lockdown waiting for him with a group of slavers looking for new acquisitions. Previously, Drift had discovered he had an innate ability with firearms, but he is discouraged from their use by Wing. It is unknown how long Drift trains, but he apparently becomes very skilled in the use of his short swords and hand-to-hand combat. The techniques appear very reminiscent of what the Autobots call 'Diffusion', a style of combat designed to stop an opponent without causing serious irreparable damage (similar to Earth's T'ai chi ch'uan (which is designed to use an attacker's energy against them) mixed with Kendo). Wing begins training Drift in an as-yet-unnamed Cybertronian martial arts style. Wing then steps forward, putting his own reputation on the line and stands up to Dai Atlas. Wing takes Drift to Dai Atlas, who is angered that a 'Decepticon' is among them and threatens to never let Drift leave. In issue #1, Drift meets a Cybertronian named Wing, who is a member of an 'unaligned faction' that lives on a world thought uninhabited. Megatron renames Drift 'Deadlock', then sends him to lead a small band of his forces.

Recruiting warriors to form his army, Megatron discovers Drift, who has skillfully killed several Autobots after they accidentally kill one of his friends. The 4-part prequel mini-series Transformers: Drift begins with Drift as an unaligned robot living on Cybertron before Megatron's rise to power. He was created by comic writer Shane McCarthy. He also has a 4-part prequel mini-series titled Transformers: Drift, published in 2010.
