| The name or term "Strafe" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Strafe (disambiguation). |
- Strafe is an Autobot Cyberjet from the Japanese G-2 portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
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 can be a little condescending at times, willing to give his fellow Autobots an earful of lecture even in the midst of a heated battle.
