Strafe (TF 2010)

The name or term "Strafe" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Strafe (disambiguation).

Strafe is an Autobot from the 2010 Transformers toyline.

Now in Peppermint!

Strafe is an Autobot stealth fighter. He may be an intelligent nutjob but one thing is certain: nobody is safe around him, not even sizzling bacon, for any sound can set this Autobot off in a terribly violent way.

Transformers (2010)

• Strafe (Voyager Class, 2011)

A redeco of the Revenge of the Fallen Voyager-class Mindwipe, Strafe transforms into a stealth fighter jet, similar to an 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 the very large Autobot insignia he wears across his wings, which is quite possibly the largest insignia ever on a Transformers toy. Strafe is sold as part of "Reveal the Shield", a subline imprint featuring rubsigns on all its releases. Y'know, just in case his wings didn't make his faction clear enough.

Strafe, like the other toys using the same mold, can be perched upon by Skystalker, Sunspot, and the exclusive 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.

Notes

• When Strafe's bio went up on the official website, it used the adjective spastic to describe him. This was later changed to "twitchy." Hmmmm.
