The Transformers Collector’s Club has provided another update to the Botcon 2013 site. Today we have been treated to our first look at the next exclusive for the 2013 BotCon set: Machine Wars Strika! Strika is making use of the Generations Warpath mold, and sporting a new head and Machine Wars inspired paint job to boot.
Check out the picture on Botcon.com, and keep an eye on that site or the frontpage right here at TFW for more convention news!

You commented on an old thread to call another user a racist?
SomeAsshole
I'm gonna comment on a thread that's like sooooo a decade Year old
Ewww gross we don't need another generic looking arcee fembot.
lmao noob shockwave was a decepticon. Yet Megatron ordered shockwave to protect cybertron when the rest of the decepticons went after the autobots. Protecting cybertron isn't just an autobot mentality. Any cybertronian would want to protect there homeplanet including decepticons smh. Also being an autobot is lame. Strikas character design just screams decepticon.
Just because she was working with that old man alpha trion doesnt mean she is an autobot. Neutral cybertronians exist. Yes animated was garbage and stupid but beast wars was even more stupid AND a dumpster fire LMAO!!!!!!!!

wow the toy is kinda nice, i wonder if i can get it in BBTS…
WhiteMocha
Thanks! Yeah, agreed, I like both of them. So far Strika is the strongest of the set to me, and not just because it will be awesome having the Warpath mold in purple.
Lumpy
Nice guess White Mocha! I just saw Strika in tank mode for the first time, and i dig it. I think i really want her and Obsidian for sure…
WhiteMocha
Guess not!
(Having never watch BM, I actually had no idea which version of Obsidian was the show-accurate version… seems people would have preferred that, but like you said, it would look very much like Powerdive.)

I agree that out of the 3 molds, Lugnut is my favorite.
Cast
I get the want for a helicopter mode, hell I would love for a gen update of him and Stryker in their BM forms but and this is just to me the robot modes are so much closer with lugnuts, he has the engines on his shoulder that match up well the BM heli blades, the long fingers, the guns on the side of his chest much like the single gun his toy had, lot of nice little qs that match up which I can't see as well with the others.
I'll give its true skyhammer has missile pods and his legs aren’t that far from obsidians.
Highbrow gets the rotors on his arms even if they are more on the for arms than shoulder and his legs and chest aren’t a bad match…
Damn I’ve sold myself on them all working now but I still like lugnuts best out of the 3 and he’s still the one I want to see re painted most.

The Highbrow mold would be fine as well, but wouldn't the colors be almost identical to Powerdive?

No molds from the first movie since the license belongs to Paramount.
WhiteMocha
I'm thinking the Highbrow mold seems more likely for Obsidian, given its dual propellers. It makes a weirdly logical sense that since the original Highbrow and Obsidian were both Osprey-type vehicles, they would be re-interpreted as the same mold… even if that mold isn't the kind of vehicle they were originally.
If it IS the Highbrow mold, I'll be please, I like that mold. Actually, any of the three likely candidates (Highbrow, Lugnut, and Skyhammer) would be fine by me… they're all good molds. I'd rather see Skyhammer saved for a character like Rotorstorm or Whirl, though. And despite being a plane instead of a helicopter, I've always thought Lugnut would make a good Classics Blackout.

Movie Incinerator?

I was hoping for a helicopter mode for him… Lugnut looks good too, but we shall see. It's going to be one of the two…
