He has a powerful weapon,
He charges a million a shot,
An assassin that's second to none,
The 'bot with the golden gun.


The latest addition to the toy galleries of Seibertron.com is a Henkei exclusive (Gentei) figure, Strafe with Rocketbot. Obtaining this figure was a bit of a doozy at first, however almost two years from it's initially release, the figure's popularity has started to drop. Some did not appreciate the the backstory given by Takara that explained why Strafe resembled Cyclonus (Universe) and had the targetmaster Rocketbot (repaint of Nightstick). Compound this with the upcoming release of Reveal The Shield Strafe, friction and competition has begun between the two molds. Does fiction matter? Check out the full gallery by clicking the links or pictures below

I like it, I prefer Strafe as a deluxe, it's puts him more in-scale with the rest of the range.

Great gallery as always :-)

Between Strafe and the shatter glass version, this has to be the better repaint of this figure! I have this guy and still mint in card, never opened! Awesome gallery!

I have one that I never opened due to lack of display space so it's nice to see one out of package. Looks ace.

I can never see him as Strafe because I've seen what he did to the Autobot laBata convoy in Chile...as Starscream! Seriously, the color pattern is a little off, but I swear that's him at 0:15

I need to get some of those Shoe-formers so I can reenact that battle.

I wish they'd done a different head. That head just looks too distinctly Cyclonus regardless of the colors.

On the other hand, he looks hell of a lot closer to a Strafe than Hasbro's poor choice in mold reuses. That figure doesn't even HAVE GUNS.
