I like the mold, I like the colors. But it's hard to see any character other than Cyclonus when I look at it. But my favorite part about the figure is…
RED CHROME, RED CHROME!!!

Grimlocka go-go
eh, i preordered him. will enjoy having him. may try to find a way to correct the head, but if not, no biggie.

I just saw these pics now for the first time. And that is exactly what ran through my mind. Well, not the clearance one. Anyways, he looks nothing like Strafe at all. And I will not be getting this one. More for those that do, though!

I meant for the jet mode. Robot mode not so much. Mostly I was just trying to annoy with my suggestion.
Just trying to get into the bad repaint fun of things.
Autobot Burnout
Pass.

I agree, I don't see it either. And personally I think Cyclonus should be left out of being retoled into someone else. Cyclonus is Cyclonus and while repaints like the Strafe-Cyc one is fun he still shouldn't be repainted into pretending to be someone else (especially not someone from TF Animated *shuders*… but that's just my opinion on it).

Nah, I just don't see it. And, again, they really couldn't do a new head on this guy without retooling the design of a good chunk of the way the toy works. The head 'bunny ears' are integral to the nosecone in jet mode.
Again, I still say that no matter what you do with this guy it would have looked like Cyclonus cosplaying as someone.

Whaaaat? This mold looks nothing like Animated Starscream. At all.

So glad I canceled my pre-order

With the reversed wings in jet mode they should've repainted this into Animated Starscream. With new big-chinned head, of course.

What the???! It's ultra gold BLING stick!!!! holy macarel!!!!

Sorry, this doesnt even remind me of Strafe.
queue: FrenzyRumble for the kitbash….

Yeah, I don't collect G1 so the original E-Hobby and the recent Encore E-Hobby is a no go for me and the Universe one that used the Armada Thrust mold was ugly. I will probably pick up the Animated version coming out here soon, but I really really want one that uses the Classics Seeker mold.
Overall, I have to say again that I really like this Strafe… it's what I was expecting anyways and I'll probably make some weird reason for him looking like Cyclonus is my little toy universe that I've got going on (don't ask… it's better for your own personal sanity). Perhaps Strafe could be another minion created by Unicron that some flaw was introduced into and he became 'corrupted'? Heh… yeah, I think I'll go with that one.

Don't get me started on Sunstorm, I STILL wanna see him made before the Classics Seeker mold turns to dust(although I'm surprised it hasn't yet).
saberconvoy
What on earth is that???

Looks more like a Jetfire or "Ratchet The Starcruiser Ambulance" than Strafe. They should have gone with an "And His Armada" repaint in either Bombshell's or Skywarp's colors, but hopefully this repaint means we'll get one of those repaints at a later date from Hasbro…
cappeca
Yep, same thing with Sunstorm. Ridiculously overrated toy, wait and see.

I agree, I don't doubt that is how it happened well I hope everyone that gets this figure is happy with it. I am not against repaints but this one is horrible IMO.

Anyone want to sell me JUST the Targetmaster?

I thought this might help:
