Strafe (G2)
From MediaWiki
| This article is about the Japanese G2 Cyberjet. For the G1 Technobot who used an identical body in G2, see Strafe. |
- Strafe is an Autobot from the Generation 2 portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
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.
Fiction
Japanese G2 story pages and minicomics
During battle, Volt ran seriously low on energy and was cornered by Megatron. Things looked grim for Volt until Strafe arrived as back-up. Strafe decked Megatron square in the jaw and encouraged his "friend", Volt, not to run away from the battle. Volt was left unsure whether to be pleased that Strafe saved his life, or ticked that Strafe was such a jerk.
