The Autobot Cyberjet known as Strafe (ストレイフ Sutoreifu) was at one point a Decepticon Cyberjet. However, over time, he began to sympathize with the Autobots and, along with Jetfire and Aero Raid, switched sides. His betrayal of the Decepticons has earned him the eternal scorn of the remaining Decepticon Cyberjets.

  • Strafe (Cyberjet, 1995)
Takara's G-2 Cyberjet Aero Raid is mostly identical to the Hasbro Genration 2 Strafe: the one change is the lack of Decepticon insignia stickers on his rear stabilizers. A redeco of the Decepticon Space Case, he transforms into a fighter jet resembling a Sukhoi Su-47 Berkut. His right arm features an attached claw that launches missiles using a pressure-launch mechanism. These missiles can be stored in his vehicle-mode thanks to simple clips on the undersides of each wing.
Unique to the Takara release is an extra decal sheet, giving you some customization options, including "battle damage" markings.
