I can see this being kitbashed into Shattered Glass Cyclonus.

I don't like the colors on this guy, they would look better on a boxy design then on this, although his altmode and target master looks awesome.

Not a fan personally,wouldnt pay £13 for that,let alone the going prices.

Hated it at first, kinda digging it now though. The alt-mode looks terrible in those colors, but the robot looks pretty clean.

Nightstick is blingin' now! I'd really like to just buy the targetmaster on his own lol!

So much more impressive than your "blaster", that is for sure. Misogyny creep.

One of his defining traits were the orange/yellow wings which mimick the spolier Hot Rod had. Also, the chest coloring is wrong.

This is Technobot Strafe, love it or leave it.

$12.88 at Walmart, love it. $100+ imported, leave it.

*lulz*

Like someone else said.

L-a-z-y.

No amount of cross-eyed glances makes this look in anyway like Strafe.

Pass, like a majority of what constitutes Universe another poorly chosen repaint. I thought Henkei was better than this.

Having another Target Master is always welcome, but that mold is Cyclonus and that's that! I love the color sceme and the chrome colors are awesome too! I would love to see Hasbro push new Target Masters in the future.

Er.... It's not really Strafe though is it?

Sunstreaker in red with a slightly diferrent transform and a new head I can accept. But how in any way can that mold be anything other than Cyclonus? It looks camp. lol

Shh! Don't give them any ideas!

At first I thought this was pretty cool but the more I stare at it the less I like it.

The mold really is Cyclonus and only Cyclonus.

I have two on preorder, I will have to see more pics to decide whether to keep them.

by **ThunderThruster** » Wed Mar 11, 2009 2:07 pm

This woulda been better done up as Scattershot!

by **robots1** » Wed Mar 11, 2009 2:58 pm

It is just utterly RIDICULOUS how they can take a figure slap some paint on him and call it someone else and we as consumers go for it HELL NO! I am bigger than the biggest tf fan but no way in hell is Cyclonus suppose to be a repaint of anybody. He is my favorite character and i am not being biased but be serious other than the colors where in da hell does he look like strafe??????

He's a jet.
That's about it. I suppose not having a nosecone on his chest helps. And he does have tall shoulders, though Strafe's were tall due to cannons.

It's definitely not perfect, but it does look cool. For some reason I have an easier time buying it as Strafe in vehicle mode (even though the jets are totally different).

News Credits: 402 · by **Mkall** » Wed Mar 11, 2009 3:10 pm

I'm tempted to slap a Decepticon sticker on him and add him to Cyclonus' armada

by **ThunderThruster** » Wed Mar 11, 2009 3:25 pm

Decided to digibash him into scattershot:

What do you guys reckon (shoddy digibash skills aside!) ?

In one year, all the collectors and fans will look up to eBay and shout "Sell me Henkei Strafe for a reasonable price!"

And eBay will look down and whisper, "No."

As it is and has always been with every single exclusive ever released.

That's funny.

Didn't one of the customs guys take the Universe Seekers as part of their Superion custom?

Gay. So gay. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Not feeling that vibe.
