He was only available with the Gentei! Gentei! version of Strafe, which was an exclusive for members of the Transformers Basecamp web site in Japan, which is itself exclusive to those who own a Transformers-themed Visa credit card. The ordering period for Strafe and Rocketbot ran from March 2nd through April 30th in 2009.
This mold was also used to make Shattered Glass Krunix and Nebulon, Vector Oracle, United Nightstick, and Tornado.
