Dazzlestrike

Dazzlestrike is an Autobot Battle Master from the Siege portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Ground Command Artillery Private Dazzlestrike enables his partner Greenlight to rend enemies in style. Something of a loner, Dazzlestrike perceives the world in terms of subtle smells and sounds beyond the ability of most Cybertronians to detect.

• Autobot Greenlight & Dazzlestrike (Deluxe Class, 2019)

• ID number: WFC-S15
• Hidden message code: LANCER
• Accessories: Slashing "Fire Blast effect"

Siege Dazzlestrike is a repaint of the single-packed Battle Master Lionizer, using the same plastics but having green paint on the blade, as well as a number of other small applications and color changes. Dazzlestrike transforms from robotic lion with a back-mounted blaster cannon into the "Shadowsteel Iceblade". The cannon can also fold down and act as a much bigger tail. As a part of the C.O.M.B.A.T. System, its weapon mode can be attached to any toy with a 5 mm post-hole. Thanks to the handle being on a swivel-joint, its weapon mode can also be mounted perpendicularly, such as on a robot's forearm or on the side/top of a vehicle mode, without sticking straight out and looking ridiculous. Thanks to the C.O.M.B.A.T. System, the back of the blade has a 3 mm post where the "Fire Blast" piece would attach.

The figure includes a new "Fire Blast" effect piece to simulate a fiery slashing attack (odd for an "Iceblade" (better off swapping effects with Lionizer)), clipping onto the back side of the blade or the handle in beast mode, simulating a pounce effect. Dazzlestrike is packaged with Greenlight.

Dazzlestrike's box-art is recycled from Lionizer's. The figure's name is spelled "Dazlestrike" with one "z" on the front of the packaging, whereas on the back and in the instructions, it's spelled "Dazzlestrike" with a double "z". This set was only available via Amazon Prime in the United States and Canada, but was released at general retail in Taiwan and Hong Kong.

Private Dazzlestrike, Ground Command-Artillery is one of fifty-two double-sided character cards available in Wave 4 of the Transformers Trading Card Game, War for Cybertron: Siege II. As a Battle Master, Private Dazzlestrike, Ground Command-Artillery begins the game in Bot Mode. Instead of being sent to the KO Area once his Health drops to zero, the card is flipped to the Upgrade side, becoming the Shadowsteel Iceblade, and equipped in the Weapons slot of another character on the player's side of the battlefield. In order to represent Dazzlestrike's size as a Battle Master, the card is the size of a battle card, about half the size of a normal character card.

The card's Bot Mode artwork is reused from the War for Cybertron: Siege Autobot Greenlight & Dazzlestrike box set packaging art.
