Universe 'Nemesis' Strika! Why the 'Nemesis' title? Who knows!
Strika is a character I had been meaning to get for a long, long time now; originally I was going to go for the Beast Machines coloration, but after I got the Universe incarnation of her hubby (who came with Universe Tankor), I went for this version. Neither the BM nor this version are actually her show-accurate colors (apparently, the Japanese 'beast Wars Returns version is the closest to her show model), and she sports some scuffed-up paint apps that are on-par with the stuff from the recent Siege line.
Colors aside, Strika's alt mode is pretty close in shape to how she appeared in BM, though the missiles attached to her rear guns make them look a bit longer; the missiles fire in a similar manner to how Obsidian's rotors can be launched, and they have an added action feature where pressing down on her SPark Crystal makes them pump back and forth as if they were firing. Like all Vehicons, her head/cab can move around in vehicle mode, but it only goes up and down.
