	As she drove the truck across [[Praetorus Wharf]], she was reminded of Caminus's energy-depleted past by the stark and frozen landscape. The resemblance disappeared as the ground turned to [[Trypticon (G1)\|a mysterious sleek black metal]], and mutant [[turbofox]]es fired on the truck, shattering the windshield and hitting both Strafe and Slug with what they assured each other was only superficial damage. When Slug expressed concern over her injuries, she took it for flirting, pointing out the similarity to a conversation between Barricade and Swift. She then mistook Slug's disgust at Barricade's Decepticon allegiance as being directed at the flirtatiousness, and expressed doubts about villainy of the Decepticons, recounting that she'd heard they had fought for equality.

	When [[Bludgeon (G1)\|Bludgeon]] tore through the truck at [[Tyger Pax]], she attacked him in a rage, only to be batted away and knocked against a leak of the same contaminated energon that Slug had earlier blamed for his change into a "monster". Broken and rapidly mutating, she looked on in horror as Bludgeon finished off the wounded Barricade and the sparks, and then explained his desire to see what the toxic blood of Trypticon might do to an Autobot—prompting Strafe to reply that she was a ''Dinobot'', as she transformed into a monstrous new beast mode with two heads on long necks. She began destroying Sweeps with a double blast of fire breath, agonized at all she had lost and the sacrifice of her principles now that the sparks were destroyed. When Swoop and Slug realized they were overlooking an '''active''' hot spot at Alyon, however, her mood improved at the sight of the great many sparks, and in spite of the newfound pain in transforming to robot mode, she realized that their journey was worthwhile.

	Together with [[Swift (G1)\|Swift]] and [[Barricade (IDW)\|Barricade]], Strafe made plans to travel to [[Alyon]] with a truckload of Camien [[spark]]s to make use of a [[hot spot (phenomenon)\|hot spot]], joining the energy abundance of Cybertron with the available supply of new Camien sparks to ensure the future of both planets. The trio bargained for the assistance of [[Slag (G1)\|Slug]] and the other [[Dinobot (G1)\|Dinobots]] with a briefcase full of gold [[shanix]], though she chose not to trust their hired muscle with the nature of their cargo, telling [[Swoop (G1)\|Swoop]] that he was "better off" not knowing. For most of the journey, she remained at the wheel of the truck, usually accompanied by Slug. When Starscream's [[Badgeless\|secret police]] attacked the convoy, she briefly believed that the Dinobots had sacrificed themselves, and tried to motivate her companions to not let that be in vain—before Slug and his team returned, telling her to move forward for her own sake.

	Crossing the [[Rust Sea\|Sea of Rust]], she took point alongside Slug, walking in front of the truck with a bladed staff held at the ready. When Slug inquired about her choice of weapon, she explained that the power crisis on Caminus meant that blasters weren't practical, just before being attacked by a [[Sweep (G1)\|Sweep]] taking advantage of the cover provided by dust storm. She took to the air in vehicle mode, her weapon converted into twin prongs that speared her attacker. Just as she asked the Dinobots about the dead bot's identity, more attacked, and Strafe joined the Dinobots in battling to defend the truck—until the Sweeps fled in fear.

	As she drove the truck across [[Praetorus Wharf]], she was reminded of Caminus's energy-depleted past by the stark and frozen landscape. The resemblance disappeared as the ground turned to [[Trypticon (G1)\|a mysterious sleek black metal]], and mutant [[turbofox]]es fired on the truck, shattering the windshield and hitting both Strafe and Slug with what they assured each other was only superficial damage. When Slug expressed concern over her injuries, she took it for flirting, pointing out the similarity to a conversation between Barricade and Swift. She then mistook Slug's disgust at Barricade's Decepticon allegiance as being directed at the flirtatiousness, and expressed doubts about villainy of the Decepticons, recounting that she'd heard they had fought for equality.

	{{~~charstubfiction~~}}		The sparks soon developed into [[protoform]]s and Strafe and co. were eventually joined by [[Centurion (IDW)\|Centurion]] in their vigil over the newborn Cybertronians. The group soon came into contact with Optimus Prime leading an expedition into the wilderness, bringing with him a resurrected Slug, who was enraged to see the Dinobots allied with Sandstorm and immediately attacked. The existing tension and aggression in the air was only amplified by Bludgeon, who manipulated everyone's emotions with the [[Void Scepter]]. {{storylink\|The Dead Come Home, Part 1 (of 2)\|The Dead Come Home, Part 1}} Strafe helped the other Dinobots take on Slug, but the battle soon ended when Optimus managed to talk him down and learned the existence of the new protoforms. {{storylink\|The Dead Come Home, Part 2 (of 2)\|The Dead Come Home, Part 2}}

			When [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Shockwave]]'s return threatened the whole of Cybertron, the Dinobots prepared to deploy, but were overruled by Trypticon, who [[space bridge]]d himself and all within him to [[Earth]]. {{storylink\|The Falling, Chapter 4: The Hallowing\|The Hallowing}} Strafe and the Dinobots next aided in the evacuation of [[Elonia]] when [[Unicron/Generation 1\|Unicron]] attacked it. {{storylink\|Our Darkest}}

			The Dinobots continued to live within Trypticon after he set up camp near [[Mount Rushmore]], much to the [[human]]s' agitation. After the [[Colonist Soldiers]] attempted to rescue the captured [[Jazz (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Jazz]] from [[G.I. Joe (team)\|G.I. Joe]] custody, the Dinobots took the attackers as a threat to the safety of their protoform charges and engaged them. The battle raged until the deaths of [[Mainframe (G.I. Joe)\|Mainframe]] and [[Gimlet]], and Strafe restrained the hysterical [[Slide]] before things could get worse. [[Rum-Maj]] and [[Wreck-Gar (G1)\|Wreck-Gar]] soon appeared on the scene with an army of [[Sharkticon (species)\|Sharkticons]], but everyone's attention was drawn to the arrival of Unicron in the skies above. {{storylink\|Time Will Rust}} Strafe and the others stood around while everyone tried to figure out what the next move was. {{storylink\|A Sunrise Dark}}

			Strafe attended a war summit with many others to determine how best to combat Unicron and was part of an attack force that confronted the planet-eater's [[Maximal]] army in Earth orbit. {{storylink\|Assembly (Unicron)\|Assembly}} When Bludgeon's [[Worldsweeper]] entered Earth's atmosphere, Strafe and the Dinobots boarded [[Sky Lynx (G1)\|Sky Lynx]] to pursue. With [[Victorion]] providing a distraction, the Dinobots managed to board the Worldsweeper and fight their way to the bridge, intent on ending Bludgeon once and for all. Strafe killed the massive ship's pilots, sending the Worldsweeper on a collision course with the [[White House]]. While nearly all aboard perished in the ensuing crash, Strafe and Swoop managed to survive, and were later pulled from the wreckage by Swift. {{storylink\|Ceremony}} In the days following Unicron's defeat, Strafe attended Optimus Prime's funeral. {{storylink\|Post}}

	As she drove the truck across [[Praetorus Wharf]], she was reminded of Caminus's energy-depleted past by the stark and frozen landscape. The resemblance disappeared as the ground turned to [[Trypticon (G1)\|a mysterious sleek black metal]], and mutant [[turbofox]]es fired on the truck, shattering the windshield and hitting both Strafe and Slug with what they assured each other was only superficial damage. When Slug expressed concern over her injuries, she took it for flirting, pointing out the similarity to a conversation between Barricade and Swift. She then mistook Slug's disgust at Barricade's Decepticon allegiance as being directed at the flirtatiousness, and expressed doubts about villainy of the Decepticons, recounting that she'd heard they had fought for equality.

			When [[Windblade (G1)\|Windblade]] called to meet with the [[Forgefire Parliament]], Strafe was among those present.

	Together with [[Swift (G1)\|Swift]] and [[Barricade (IDW)\|Barricade]], Strafe made plans to travel to [[Alyon]] with a truckload of Camien [[spark]]s to make use of a [[hot spot (phenomenon)\|hot spot]], joining the energy abundance of Cybertron with the available supply of new Camien sparks to ensure the future of both planets. The trio bargained for the assistance of [[Slag (G1)\|Slug]] and the other [[Dinobot (G1)\|Dinobots]] with a briefcase full of gold [[shanix]], though she chose not to trust their hired muscle with the nature of their cargo, telling [[Swoop (G1)\|Swoop]] that he was "better off" not knowing. For most of the journey, she remained at the wheel of the truck, usually accompanied by Slug. When Starscream's [[Badgeless\|secret police]] attacked the convoy, she briefly believed that the Dinobots had sacrificed themselves, and tried to motivate her companions to not let that be in vain—before Slug and his team returned, telling her to move forward for her own sake.

	Crossing the [[Rust Sea\|Sea of Rust]], she took point alongside Slug, walking in front of the truck with a bladed staff held at the ready. When Slug inquired about her choice of weapon, she explained that the power crisis on Caminus meant that blasters weren't practical, just before being attacked by a [[Sweep (G1)\|Sweep]] taking advantage of the cover provided by dust storm. She took to the air in vehicle mode, her weapon converted into twin prongs that speared her attacker. Just as she asked the Dinobots about the dead bot's identity, more attacked, and Strafe joined the Dinobots in battling to defend the truck—until the Sweeps fled in fear. Strafe spotted the reason hidden in the dust storm: the [[Torchbearer]]s.

	As she drove the truck across [[Praetorus Wharf]], she was reminded of Caminus's energy-depleted past by the stark and frozen landscape. The resemblance disappeared as the ground turned to [[Trypticon (G1)\|a mysterious sleek black metal]], and mutant [[turbofox]]es fired on the truck, shattering the windshield and hitting both Strafe and Slug with what they assured each other was only superficial damage. When Slug expressed concern over her injuries, she took it for flirting, pointing out the similarity to a conversation between Barricade and Swift. She then mistook Slug's disgust at Barricade's Decepticon allegiance as being directed at the flirtatiousness, and expressed doubts about villainy of the Decepticons, recounting that she'd heard they had fought for equality.

	When [[Bludgeon (G1)\|Bludgeon]] tore through the truck at [[Tyger Pax]], she attacked him in a rage, only to be batted away and knocked against a leak of the same contaminated energon that Slug had earlier blamed for his change into a "monster". Broken and rapidly mutating, she looked on in horror as Bludgeon finished off the wounded Barricade and the sparks, and then explained his desire to see what the toxic blood of Trypticon might do to an Autobot—prompting Strafe to reply that she was a ''Dinobot'', as she transformed into a monstrous new beast mode with two heads on long necks. She began destroying Sweeps with a double blast of fire breath, agonized at all she had lost and the sacrifice of her principles now that the sparks were destroyed. When Swoop and Slug realized they were overlooking an '''active''' hot spot at Alyon, however, her mood improved at the sight of the great many sparks, and in spite of the newfound pain in transforming to robot mode, she realized that their journey was worthwhile.

	As Slug prepared to depart and leave Swift to take credit for the discovery of the sparkfield (and let her put the blame for any crimes on having been kidnapped on the Dinobots, who were ''already'' outlaws), Strafe insisted on joining him so that she could hunt down Bludgeon and make sure that he did not survive.

Together with [[Swift (G1)\|Swift]] and [[Barricade (IDW)\|Barricade]], Strafe made plans to travel to [[Alyon]] with a truckload of Camien [[spark]]s to make use of a [[hot spot (phenomenon)\|hot spot]], joining the energy abundance of Cybertron with the available supply of new Camien sparks to ensure the future of both planets. The trio bargained for the assistance of [[Slag (G1)\|Slug]] and the other [[Dinobot (G1)\|Dinobots]] with a briefcase full of gold [[shanix]], though she chose not to trust their hired muscle with the nature of their cargo, telling [[Swoop (G1)\|Swoop]] that he was "better off" not knowing.

	As Slug prepared to depart and leave Swift to take credit for the discovery of the sparkfield (and let her put the blame for any crimes on having been kidnapped on the Dinobots, who were ''already'' outlaws), Strafe insisted on joining him so that she could hunt down Bludgeon and make sure that he did not survive. Returning to her monster mode, she joined the other Dinobots and left Swift and her old life behind. {{storylink\|The Transformers: Redemption\|Redemption}}		As Slug prepared to depart and leave Swift to take credit for the discovery of the sparkfield (and let her put the blame for any crimes on having been kidnapped on the Dinobots, who were ''already'' outlaws), Strafe insisted on joining him so that she could hunt down Bludgeon and make sure that he did not survive.

	The Dinobots searched for Bludgeon for months until Strafe's intuition brought them to one his labs, where Slug ended up killed by [[Sandstorm (G1)\|Sandstorm]]. Bludgeon then resurfaced, stole the sparks and reactivated Trypticon, so the Dinobots fought their way inside the giant beast where Strafe discovered its [[brain module]]. Having gleaned some [[cityspeaker]] knowledge from Windblade, she recognized it as a [[Titan (group)\|Titan]]'s brain and knew it was being mind-controlled, but could do nothing about it before Bludgeon bested her. When the other Dinobots and Sandstorm arrived, ~~Swift~~ distracted Bludgeon by attempting to commune with Trypticon as a cityspeaker would, allowing her comrades to sever his link to the Titan. After the battle, she convinced [[Snarl (G1)\|Snarl]] not to kill Sandstorm, telling him the group's new purpose was to remain with Trypticon and protect the sparks as they matured. {{storylink\|The Transformers: Salvation\|Salvation}}		The Dinobots searched for Bludgeon for months until Strafe's intuition brought them to one his labs, where Slug ended up killed by [[Sandstorm (G1)\|Sandstorm]].

	{{~~charstubfiction~~}}		The sparks soon developed into [[protoform]]s and Strafe and co. were eventually joined by [[Centurion (IDW)\|Centurion]] in their vigil over the newborn Cybertronians. The group soon came into contact with Optimus Prime leading an expedition into the wilderness, bringing with him a resurrected Slug, who was enraged to see the Dinobots allied with Sandstorm and immediately attacked. The existing tension and aggression in the air was only amplified by Bludgeon, who manipulated everyone's emotions with the [[Void Scepter]]. {{storylink\|The Dead Come Home, Part 1 (of 2)\|The Dead Come Home, Part 1}} Strafe helped the other Dinobots take on Slug, but the battle soon ended when Optimus managed to talk him down and learned the existence of the new protoforms. {{storylink\|The Dead Come Home, Part 2 (of 2)\|The Dead Come Home, Part 2}}

			When [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Shockwave]]'s return threatened the whole of Cybertron, the Dinobots prepared to deploy, but were overruled by Trypticon, who [[space bridge]]d himself and all within him to [[Earth]]. {{storylink\|The Falling, Chapter 4: The Hallowing\|The Hallowing}} Strafe and the Dinobots next aided in the evacuation of [[Elonia]] when [[Unicron/Generation 1\|Unicron]] attacked it. {{storylink\|Our Darkest}}

			The Dinobots continued to live within Trypticon after he set up camp near [[Mount Rushmore]], much to the [[human]]s' agitation. After the [[Colonist Soldiers]] attempted to rescue the captured [[Jazz (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Jazz]] from [[G.I. Joe (team)\|G.I. Joe]] custody, the Dinobots took the attackers as a threat to the safety of their protoform charges and engaged them. The battle raged until the deaths of [[Mainframe (G.I. Joe)\|Mainframe]] and [[Gimlet]], and Strafe restrained the hysterical [[Slide]] before things could get worse. [[Rum-Maj]] and [[Wreck-Gar (G1)\|Wreck-Gar]] soon appeared on the scene with an army of [[Sharkticon (species)\|Sharkticons]], but everyone's attention was drawn to the arrival of Unicron in the skies above. {{storylink\|Time Will Rust}} Strafe and the others stood around while everyone tried to figure out what the next move was. {{storylink\|A Sunrise Dark}}

			Strafe attended a war summit with many others to determine how best to combat Unicron and was part of an attack force that confronted the planet-eater's [[Maximal]] army in Earth orbit. {{storylink\|Assembly (Unicron)\|Assembly}} When Bludgeon's [[Worldsweeper]] entered Earth's atmosphere, Strafe and the Dinobots boarded [[Sky Lynx (G1)\|Sky Lynx]] to pursue. With [[Victorion]] providing a distraction, the Dinobots managed to board the Worldsweeper and fight their way to the bridge, intent on ending Bludgeon once and for all. Strafe killed the massive ship's pilots, sending the Worldsweeper on a collision course with the [[White House]]. While nearly all aboard perished in the ensuing crash, Strafe and Swoop managed to survive, and were later pulled from the wreckage by Swift. {{storylink\|Ceremony}} In the days following Unicron's defeat, Strafe attended Optimus Prime's funeral. {{storylink\|Post}}
