The Wings Universe text story "Flames of Yesterday" did the retcon (and the teal bot next to her was made into Glyph).
But, this is the first that I've heard of it ever being fan speculation. Did that originate from the ATT days?
I call it Fan Speculation because the first I heard of it, people were posting that screenshot, pointing at the pink Fem(ish)-bot and saying "That could be G1 Strika"
I don't follow Club Fiction closely because I see it as simply Toy Justification, hence I was unaware that they had done that in canon.

Ah okay, thanks. I asked since I thought it might have been cool if this were something that fans had been thinking of for years and finally made canon. Guess not, though.
If you've read Exodus, wanna read the War For Cybertron comic? PM me.

Ugh, ugliest one yet. Why do they insist on giving every Botcon or TFCC figure a garish eye-searing paint job? I guess the theme for 2013 is "Ugly it up".

Its accurate to the original toy. But maybe the actual toy will be less garish eye-searing looking.

OK, Strika has her buddy and we have (one of) the larger figures in the set. Using the HftD Highbrow mold was a given, really.
Can't wait for the final reveal next week.
Top 5 Priorities:
1) BW Neo X-7 Elphaorpha
2) BW II VS-18 Powerhug vs. Autocrusher
3) Universe 2003 Night Slash Cheetor
4) RiD Landfill (regular, not the yellow)
5) BW Convobat (red) & Megalligator (purple)
Also looking for any clear Arms Microns, like Shadow (Gora & R.A.), Hellflame and Shining (O.P. and R.A.).

The fourth figure reveal in the Machine Wars BotCon 2013 boxset is Obsidian. This figure follows the reveals of
Hoist,
Skywarp and
Strika. Obsidian uses the Hunt for the Decepticons
Highbrow mold with yet another new head. The image has been mirrored below for your convenience.

The thing that saddens me the most is that Strika and Obsidian aren't in scale with eachother anymore. Still the homage makes sense, but I'm hoping for less brighter colours on the actual toy.
