Shadow Striker
Encyclopedia
Shadow Striker is the name of two fictional characters in the various Transformers universes
.
Originally intended to be named "Silhouette" to sound more like her twin, Roulette, the name failed to pass a trademark search and was thus changed. After pics of the toy were leaked on eBay, Shadow Striker was the subject of considerable controversy among a handful of fans who believed that she was going to be a new incarnation of Nightracer, a previous BotCon exclusive, due to the toys sharing a somewhat similar deco in car-mode. However, at OTFCC, the organizers revealed that any similarities were purely coincidental and that Shadow Striker was not - nor ever conceived as - Nightracer.

Transformers: Universe
Forced to watch her third sister's death at the hands of nomadic invaders, Shadow Striker learned at a very early age the difference between those who held the power and those who were the power. She ran constant jobs for the criminal underworld and was particularly favored by one of the more feared gangsters who dabbled in Spark extraction technologies. The memory of her stolen childhood constantly haunts Shadow Striker as she struggles to come to terms with her past, present, and future. Has a specially outfitted engine that provides a sonic dampening cone, enabling her to employ a temporary stealth mode. In robot form, wields a titanium-reinforced shield and an acid hand blaster.Originally intended to be named "Silhouette" to sound more like her twin, Roulette, the name failed to pass a trademark search and was thus changed.
