Talk:Strika (BM)

Do we REALLY need to make a separate page for Nemesis Strika? What evidence do we have that she's an alternate-universe Strika, and they didn't just give her the name to shore up that trademark just in case, like the "Dinobot Striker"? I mean, our common rules seem to go "that without direct fictional evidence, same body + same name = same dude... --M Sipher 04:30, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Well, I guess there's the Wal-Mart Dinobots... but... those are a bit special. For just Strika, tho... --M Sipher 04:32, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

But she's not another Strika. She's Nemesis Strika. Nemesis in every single other use implies a separate entity. We should err on the side of caution, give her her own page, and make a note of the ambiguity. --ItsWalky 04:47, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

She needs an image.

I have an image of her. Look and see.....Mr. Florky 18:49, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

If there are no objections, then I'll just post it on her article. Mr. Florky 19:00, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Still nothing? Okay, then. Up she goes. Mr. Florky 19:12, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

If you genuinely want replies to your comments on talk pages, try waiting a day or two, not half an hour. Very few people check for changes that often.

Also, I'm not sure that image is good enough. It's hard to see any detail. JW 19:55, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

I posted an image for her, but it doesn't show up unless you click it. Is this just my computer acting weird, or am I missing something here? TF's Biggest Fan EVER 14:50, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Here's an image for the page for her drones, whenever that gets made. --ItsWalky 01:51, 9 January 2010 (EST)

pronounciation

A stupid Q from a noob foreigner: is it "Strika" like "strike", or "Strika" like "string" (the latter explaining Japanese spelling of her name)? -- Silvery 07:03, 6 September 2009 (EDT)

It's like "strike". --abates 07:09, 6 September 2009 (EDT)

Thanks. I feel less stupid now. Though Strika like "streekah" would sound cool. ;) -- Silvery 07:13, 6 September 2009 (EDT)

Where does the Japanese spelling come from, BTW? It's not romanized on her card. -Mazenoise 07:21, 6 September 2009 (EDT)

Adding Autobot label

The reason for this is: she was featured in Flames of Yesterday as a female Autobot. --Tristan 38935 22:02, 22 December (ETD)

Cartoon Retcon

Could we have a storylink or a note that explains where the retcon that cartoon-generic-female-is-retroactively-Strika comes from? I'm guessing it's Allspark Almanac 1 or 2 (Because this kind of stuff is ALWAYS from those books) but I don't own either books. ----Ascendron 15:24, 22 February 2011 (EST)

It comes from Wings of Honor, which is the stubbed section directly beneath. --ItsWalky 15:36, 22 February 2011 (EST)

Strika's Fiction

Why isn't her retconned G1 appearance at the top of her fiction? Isn't the Beast Era part of the G1 continuity? The same was done for Glyph and Sunstorm. -- Karhukjnsi 02:21, 11 March 2011 (EST)

No, the English language version of the Beast Era is not part of Generation 1 cartoon continuity. And Beast Machines still remains her first appearance in the real world. —Interrobang 03:39, 11 March 2011 (EST)

It isn't?! I thought towards the end of the series they were really pushing for the whole "Surprise, we're really on prehistoric Earth before G1, here's the Ark, and Optimus and Ravage!" stuff. -- Karhukjnsi 14:38, 11 March 2011 (EST)

No. "But the Beast Wars cartoon does not adhere to any particular version of Generation 1 continuity that has been seen; instead it borrows facets from many and composites them into a sort of vague "mythology" that forms the Beast Wars characters' past." —Interrobang 14:45, 11 March 2011 (EST)

New mainpic...

I dunno... it doesn't really "send" Strika to me. I know the best we had before was a screencap, but I still feel like that had more personality (and looked less awkward) than the lifeless CG dummy. --Nu-Priest (talk) 15:07, 17 June 2021 (EDT)
