Looks like you're going to the Shadowstrip, Jimbo.
  • G2 Universe Shadowstrip (Deluxe Class, 2022)
    • Accessories: 2x Gravito-blasters

Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection "G2 Universe Shadowstrip" is a redeco of Legacy Decepticon Dragstrip, done in the colors of the cancelled Generation 2 figure from 1994. The differences between the Generation 2 toy and Shadowstrip are the increased usage of gold paint, less usage of blue paint, and golden flag tampographs on his sides. Shadowstrip comes with two blasters, like Dragstrip. Despite not being called out in the instructions, Shadowstrip can still form an arm for Menasor.
