• Strafe (Deluxe, 2009)
  • Japanese ID number: D-07

Rocketbot is a redeco of the 2008 Universe Nightstick mold, transforming into a hand-held blaster cannon with a mostly black upper body and gold painted legs and primary gun barrel. While closely resembling Henkei Nightstick's color scheme, he does switch the silver plastic for orange, and reverses the red face and orange eyes on Nightstick for an orange face with red eyes. In gun mode, he can also plug into the rectangular sockets in Strafe's wrists when his (Strafe's) fists are left in their vehicle-mode storage positions. He was only available with the Gentei! Gentei! version of Strafe, which was an exclusive for members of the Transformers Basecamp web site in Japan, which is itself exclusive to those who own a Transformers-themed Visa credit card. The ordering period for Strafe and Rocketbot ran from March 2nd through April 30th in 2009.

This mold will also be used to make "Shattered Glass" Krunix.

Notes

• Rocketbot is apparently named after Strafe's Italian name.
