This article is about the Japanese G2 Cyberjet. For the G1 Technobot who used an identical body in G2, see Strafe (G1).
Strafe is an Autobot from the Japanese Generation 2 portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Hand? How about an entire fist!

The Autobot Cyberjet known as Strafe 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.

  • Strafe (Cyberjet, 1995)
    • Japanese ID number: TRF-15
    • Accessories: 3 missiles
A redeco of the Decepticon Cyberjet Space Case, Strafe transforms into a fictional aircraft which is a conglomerate of 'cutting edge' (for that era) design cues. 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. He comes with an extra decal sheet, giving you some customization options, including "battle damage" markings.
The exact same toy was originally released in America as the former Technobot Strafe. This mold was also used for the 2004 Universe version of Space Case and Robot Masters X-Gunner.
