Great news for those who ordered Strafe! 
Great mold, I wish I could afford one. Just like I wish I could afford the Electro Disruptor Ligier and Ghost Starscream and Crystal Convoy.

you mean this thing is still not out. I figured it had been sent out and forgotten already. Oh well, I guess it's okay, but I have Cyclonus and Henkei Cyclonus. And since i'm colorblind i'm not gonna blow a bill to get another one that's not really gonna stand out from the rest to me anyways. Plus I don't really collect Autobots. But it's definitely good news to those Strafe fans and other fans of this mold. I personally am trying to get me hands on the Clear Mirage and counting down to the Ghost Starscream.

UGH. That thing again? I thought that was over and done with. It looks like that bootleg from a few years back.
*shudders* Just not an attractive figure in those colors.

If it wasn't for Shattered Glass, I would not be getting this. I'm such a sucker for a story.

I'm excited about that too Mkall (I know it's the same seller). I was thinking about getting a Charo Exclusive Soundwave from him, but $75 is a lot, especially compared to BBTS, $55.

As a Canadian I feel obligated to get Gentei Strafe.
I mean really... you stick a poll up his butt and he might as well transform into the Canadian Flag.
Plus it's really growing on me.

They've pretty clearly established that SG Cyclonus will not be a match for this figure after the last Club comic...so, I mean you might want to reconsider.

Would've been great if this weren't so expensive or that it wasn't just a repaint with an old mold.

Eh.... so what is the big deal about this guy anyways??? he's just a repaint of cyclonus, i don't even recognize the name anyways..
Who is he??
Why is he so special of a repaint??
I stopped watching G-1 after the first 3 episodes of Season 3, and I don't remember him at all..

Check out Strafe's info at tfwiki.
I think he's just special because he's expensive and exclusive, hehe. I love my Universe Cyclonus and I hope to get the Henkei version in the near future.

Strafe was one of my first TFs, so I'm super psyched about this guy. He may not really look like anything but a funky colored Cyclonus, but the colors are actually growing on me, and I'm a sucker for Strafe, so, yeah, can't wait for this to show up.

Japanese site Futaba Channel (http://jun.2chan.net/) posted 2 new in-package images of Henkei Strafe. Similar to other Henkei exclusive, the packaging for Strafe is also in black and white colour.
Henkei Strafe is an exclusive for members of the Transformers Basecamp web site in Japan, which is itself exclusive to those who own a Transformers-themed Visa credit card.

It's kinda silly that some people are actually *complaining* that this is "just a recolor." How many TFs out there that are widely accepted as great figures, and are simple recolors? Lots.

personally i like this better than cyclonus.... the colors seem to fit this one real well
