Part of the fourth assortment of blind-bagged Kreon Micro-Changers, Slipstrike is a Kreon figurine that can be rebuilt into a jet. Initially, this Collection was basically only available at Walgreens drug stores.
Eventually, they saw release at other "dollar" stores and continued release through Walgreen up through 2016. Unfortunately, these later releases lack the individual-Kreon-identifying number stamps, which thanks to the gigantic thick instruction sheet this wave came with, makes finding the ones you want by the "bag feel" method much trickier. These releases all have the 2014 slight retooling to their arms, making the cuffs less rounded and better-suited to being used as studs. Some figures did get minor deco changes; this release of Slipstrike has much brighter lavender accent paint on her torso than the original.
She uses the Starscream helmet.

Notes

  • Slipstrike's deco is based directly on Animated Slipstream.
  • Her stock photography shows her vehicle mode with the wings swept-forward, which matches Animated Slipstream. However, the instructions tell you to attach them so they swing back (as shown above).
