Strafe is anAutobot from themovie continuity family (via the2010 Transformers toyline.)

WhileStrafe is usually a pretty nice guy, other Autobots tend to keep away from him, especially during battle. This is because he'sway too easily startled, and when scared, responds by attacking everything around him until he burns himself out. Nothing is safe around Strafe, not even sizzling bacon, for any sound can set this Autobot off in a terribly violent way.

• Strafe (Voyager Class, 2011)

• Known designers:Andrew Scribner (deco artist)

Aredeco of theRevenge of the Fallen Voyager ClassMindwipe,Reveal the Shield Strafe transforms into a stealth fighter jet similar to anF-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 very large Autobotinsignia he wears across his wings, which is quite possibly the largest insignia ever on aTransformerstoy. As part of theReveal the Shieldsubline imprint, Strafe features arubsign. Y'know, just in case his wings didn't make his faction clear enough.

Strafe's vehicle mode, like the other toys using the same mold, can be perched upon bySkystalker,Sunspot,Laserbeak, and the exclusiveSmokescreen. Except they're all Decepticons, so it would be terribly inappropriate fraternization.

This mold was also redecoed as the Tokyo Toy ShowexclusiveGeneration 2Dreadwing.

Notes

• When Strafe's bio went up on the official website, it used the adjectivespastic to describe him. This was later changed to "twitchy." Hmmmm.
• Funny how this guy named "Strafe" has noguns or anything.
