was it just me or was strafe....well pretty useless? I can't say he ever really killed a drone or anything and just got knocked on his ass multiple times
The Dinobots' biggest purpose in this movie seemed to just look cool. Strafe did a decent job of doing that; the slo-mo scene was pretty awesome. I just hope that if they return for sequels, we get to learn about who they actually are, and they get some more meaningful stuff to do.
He saved Bumblebee and Slug and I could have sworn killed some drones. He chomped on Stinger's head too.
Strafe did end up helping kill one of the only named villains, which none of the other dinobots managed to do.
They werent as big and strong as expected. But they were still far stronger than typical transformers. How bout scorns barrel roll attack spiking multiple vehicons in one go.
Spoilers: Throughout the last act, every time Strafe got damaged I kept thinking that he was going to get killed. He crashed into the ground so many times it just seemed inevitable and I kept thinking, yep, this is why Hasbro didn't let Bay name him Swoop, they didn't want the name wasted on a character who's only purpose was to die halfway through the last act but to my surprise the dude kept getting up. So props to him for somehow surviving all the damage he got.
Oh! now that you mention it I loved that scene. Of course, for a lot of people that little detail got lost in all the messy chaos.
I caught the barrel roll as well and actually mentally rolled my eyes a bit. You'd think a couple of the spikes would break off.
