'''Strika''' is [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]]'s personally chosen "General of Destruction", and for good reason. She lives for war, for the glory of war. She is the ideal mix of brains and brawn, as her immense strength and brilliant military tactical mind make her a worthy adversary and a dangerous foe to the Autobots. To add to her power, her multi-wheeled heavily armored battle tank mode is equipped with weaponry that produce an enormous amount of fire power. On top of all this, she brought many victories to the Decepticons during the [[great War (Animated)|Great War]] on Cybertron.

She is also [[Lugnut (Animated)|Lugnut]]'s "consort", whatever that means. ([[Media:http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Consort.ogg]] )

And yes, she ''is'' a girl. Seriously.

As the leader of [[Team Chaar]], Strika and her team attempted to capture [[space bridge 687-030]]. After disabling [[Hot Shot (Animated)|Hot Shot]], and being damaged by [[Rodimus Prime (Animated)|Rodimus Prime]], she was back on her feet in time to criticize [[Blackout (Animated)|Blackout]] for disabling the Space Bridge and had him reactivate it. After ordering [[Cyclonus (Animated)|Cyclonus]] and [[Oil Slick (Animated)|Oil Slick]] to help free [[Spittor (Animated)|Spittor]] and secure the area, she jumped to the Space Bridge controls and contacted [[Shockwave (Animated)|Shockwave]], asking him for the coordinates for Cybertron. He refused and then told her the he was under strict orders from [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]] to wait for his arrival. Strika, incensed, responded that Megatron was supposed to be there Mega-Cycles ago! Later, still guarding the Space Bridge, she and her team prepared to face off against the [[Elite Guard]], something she was looking forward to. However, before they could, Megatron insisted on a full Decepticon retreat. Strika refused at first, only giving in when faced with the consequences of disobeying Megatron's orders. {{storylink|TransWarped}}

Later, Strika was apparently part of a Decepticon attack force which descended upon Detroit as the planet Cybertron was brought into Earth orbit. This was eventually revealed to be a virtual reality ruse on [[Soundwave (Animated)|Soundwave's]] part, but it is uncertain how Soundwave came to the decision to integrate a simulation of her into the program, as he had never physically encountered her. {{storylink|Human Error, Part I}}

==Notes==
* [[Derrick J. Wyatt]] said this about Strika: "another personal Transformers life goal for yours truly".
* Strika is male in the Latin American Spanish dub of the show due to the third season being dubbed in Colombia rather than Chile as the other seasons were. Unfortunately, she is far from being the only fembot to suffer [[Flareup (Animated)|the same]] [[Slipstream (Animated)|fate]]. Heck, [[Jetfire (Animated)|Jetfire]] and [[Jetstorm (Animated)|Jetstorm]] were dubbed by a woman.
* Her primary weapons are her Reciprocating Blasters and she has somehow obtained a small amount of [[forestonite]].
