- Strikedown is an Autobot Micromaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Strikedown is kind of a jerk. He takes his name as literally as possible–when his teammates on the Metro Squad come up with a plan or an idea, Strikedown will immediately outline the myriad ways that their idea will go wrong and explain to them why they should just forget about it. This behavior annoys his comrades to no end, even if they know that Strikedown is just trying to help, but Strikedown is so committed to pooh-poohing every plan and tactic that comes his way that he's shot down legitimately good ideas without even knowing.
Fortunately, Strikedown is just as selfless and heroic on the battlefield as the best of the Autobots. He'll shoot down Decepticons with the same determination he uses to snipe his teammate's tactics, and his heroism more than makes up for his pessimism in the eyes of his Micromaster squadmates.[1]
His combiner partner on the Metro Squad is Power Run.
