Strafe Deluxe Class Figures (Combiner Wars/Unite Warriors)

My favourite of the Technobots Strafe transforms into some sort of 80's-tacular Cybertronian spaceship. I think it's the orange cannons and the just general design of the starfighter. Since Transformers fiction spans such a wide range of media my connection to specific figures tends to be more aesthetic than character based as it might be with say the Marvel or DC figures I collect. There are certainly exceptions to that but yeah I don't remember any of Strafe's personality traits from the G1 cartoon or the Marvel Transformers series. Let's be honest, with so many characters to feature if you're not Optimus Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee, or Starscream, you're lucky to have a personality of any kind.

(Combiner Wars Strafe)





"I've got rad shades"








Giant leg wings.



Break dancing robot!





Cheezie cannon attack!







"My undercarriage looks nothing like a robot, whatever do you mean?"


It would've been cool if these could pop off and be used in robot mode as hand weapons.






(Unite Warriors Strafe)







"My head sculpt is more generic."




His leg wings are less conspicuous.


Rocket knuckles?



Face Off!





"That's right, TakaraTomy brings the accessories!"










A second cool spacefighter!




Aside from the head this undercarriage is very un-robotic.



Not the most balanced placement.
