While '''Strafe''' is usually a pretty nice guy, other Autobots tend to keep away from him, especially during battle. This is because he's ''way'' too easily startled, and when scared, responds by attacking everything around him until he burns himself out. Nothing is safe around Strafe, not even sizzling bacon, for any sound can set this Autobot off in a terribly violent way.

*'''Strafe''' (Voyager Class, 2011)
 
:A [[redeco]] of the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Voyager-class [[Mindwipe (ROTF)#Toys|Mindwipe]], Strafe transforms into a stealth fighter jet similar to an [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes#F-117A Nighthawk|F-117 Nighthawk]]. He has two flip-out swords/daggers under his arms that he can deploy to use as weapons. As part of his transformation, bending his wings back in robot mode activates a Mech Alive gear-driven feature where the tips of the wings retract and four small blades reveal themselves along the edge of the wing. Strafe's paint app budget went into the very large Autobot [[insignia]] he wears across his wings, which is quite possibly the largest insignia ever on a [[Transformers brand|''Transformers'']] [[toy]]. Strafe is sold as part of "[[Reveal the Shield]]", a [[subline imprint]] featuring [[rubsign]]s on all its releases. Y'know, just in case his wings didn't make his faction clear enough.
 
:Strafe's vehicle mode, like the other toys using the same mold, can be perched upon by [[Skystalker (ROTF)#Revenge of the Fallen|Skystalker]], [[Sunspot]], [[Laserbeak (G1)#Generations|Laserbeak]] and the exclusive [[Smokescreen (G2)#TokyoToyShow|Smokescreen]]. Except they're all Decepticons, so it would be terribly inappropriate fraternization.
 
:This mold was also redecoed as the Tokyo Toy Show [[exclusive]] ''Generation 2'' [[Dreadwing (G2)#TokyoToyShow|Dreadwing]].

==Notes==
* When Strafe's bio went up on the official website, it used the adjective [[Over-Run (PCC)|spastic]] to describe him. This was later changed to "twitchy." Hmmmm.
* Almost all non-toy-only characters under the "[[Reveal the Shield]]" subline (as a spiritual successor to [[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]) have been explicitly Generation 1 characters. Therefore, this Strafe ''may'' be [[Strafe (G1)|the Technobot Strafe]], but until he appears in fiction it's ambiguous.
* Funny how this guy named "Strafe" has no ''guns'' or anything.
