Strafe

Reveal the Shield - You got to love Hasbro for their effort and marketing. All you have to do, just repaint the whole mold and put an Autobot or Decepticon label and name. Strafe is just another repaint from the original mold of Mindwipe. Instead of being a black and red livery, Strafe is a white, red and orange livery.

Bio

While Strafe is usually a pretty nice guy, other Autobots tend to keep away from him, especially during battle. This is because he's way 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.

Vehicle Mode

It is big and very bulky. The width is almost identical to the leader class Starscream. But a bit smaller in height and diameter. The jet mode looks very nice and sleek. There are no other function or weaponry for the jet mode. The only thing that is moveable is the wheel below the body of the jet plane. Other than that, it is just a simple but bulky looking jet plane.

Transformation Mode

A bit of warning; when trying to unpack Strafe, be careful not to scratch the paint. I have this type of problem with Rodimus (Universe 3 Pack version) too where I accidentally cause the paint to scratch. I think the paint was quite cheap compare with other models. By the way, Strafe is somewhere between cool and awesome. I might say that I found it that he is quite hard to stand straight. His wing is to heavy and his leg is too thin. But what I love about this model, is his pops-up dagger. Look very stealthy and got that Gundam looks.

If you already had Mindwipe on your collection, then I bet you will have the coolest looking Transformers. Even if you own Mindwipe; Strafe will be another nice addition to your collection. For me Strafe looks more like an anime character than a Transformers itself.
