[[Image:|right|250px|thumb|She's a bad mamma jamma!]] At an early age, Shadow Striker and her sister <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Roulette" title="Roulette">Roulette</a> watched as their sister was destroyed at the hands of nomadic invaders. This traumatic event caused her to realize the difference between those who wielded power and those who were power. She grew up to become a criminal who ran constant jobs for the various gangsters on Cybertron, particularly <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Cryotek_%28RID%29" title="Cryotek (RID)">Cryotek</a>.
She's also kind of an airhead.

Transported to the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Pit" title="Pit">Pit</a>, deep within the Chaos Bringer, Shadow Striker was physically and mentally tortured, and her body was changed into a new form.

Although she and many other prisoners were freed by <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Optimus_Primal" title="Optimus Primal">Optimus Primal</a>, Shadow Striker had been corrupted by Unicron's influence. As they raced away from the Cauldron, she sped ahead of them, abruptly turned, and bombed a hole in the road that was leading them away from the pursuing <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Minions_of_Unicron" class="mw-redirect" title="Minions of Unicron">Minions of Unicron</a>.

- Roulette & Shadow Striker (Multi-pack, 2003)
- Accessories: Spring-loaded missile launcher/bumper, tailpipe/missile, blaster.
- Shadow Striker is a <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Retool" title="Retool">retool</a> of the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Robots_in_Disguise_%28toyline%29" title="Robots in Disguise (toyline)">Robots in Disguise</a> <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Side_Burn_%28RID%29" title="Side Burn (RID)">Side Burn</a>
toy with a new head. As such she transforms into a Dodge Viper with exposed engine block. He rear bumper becomes a spring-loaded missile launcher. She also features a small hand-blaster, cast in silver plastic.
- She was available only in a two-pack with Roulette. The set was an <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Exclusive" title="Exclusive">exclusive</a> to <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/OTFCC_2003" title="OTFCC 2003">OTFCC 2003</a>.
- Roulette & Shadow Striker are identical molds cast in the same color but with different decos and are thus <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Repaint" title="Repaint">repaints</a> of each other (so to speak). Because of this, she still has an Autobot symbol molded on her left forearm. Oopsie.
