All things that can get you killed, but somehow she hasn't died yet. This femme loves her pranks almost more than her own life and will often go to great lengths to get someone good.

That being said, she may come off as completely carefree and as a nuisance, but Striker is a very intelligent femme. She has made battle plans for Decepticons from the Stunticons to Lord Megatron himself, just to give you an idea of her cunning. She's talented in all her endeavors and strives to learn and grow through the challenges around her with a grin and a cocky attitude.

Bio: Striker was constructed in Crystal City as one of the first handful of sparks created by the Matrix. Thus, she grew up around beauty and masterful construction. Having grown such an affinity for the works she was surrounded by every day, her main goal began as the need to contribute to her city. She learned more about the careful planning and precision that went into each building not just in Crystal City, but on all of Cybertron. Not fascinated by the construction but by the planning, she began to nurture a craving for the strategy.

This lead to her beginning her pranking spree across the Crystal City as "practice". Bots actually used to call her "the shadow prankster" because no one could figure out who the hell was pulling off all of these. A stupid name, I know. But everyone who heard that name for the first name laughed too until Striker overheard that there was some fresh metal to ensnare.

It was her thing for a long time until she was finally arrested many, many decades later. But her arrest didn't last as long as her spree. And by now, most bots knew some hidden strategist had been hiding in the shadows and was now out for grabs. She declined all the invitations to work for someone before Crystal City was destroyed by the Decepticons. She escaped her cell in the ensuing chaos, and it was Megatron and Optimus's turn to shine an optic on the strange strategist.

They ordered her brought to Kaon/Iacon to be swayed to the Decepticon/Autobot side, but the teams sent to retrieve her were, of course, tricked. She escaped with little to no effort and proceeded to go on the run just for the pure fun of it. She made no efforts to conceal her bright colors or her blaring Cybertronian signal and decided to just wait and see how long it would take for someone to catch her.

A part of her did hope Megatron and Optimus would both give up their chase of her so she could just do as she pleased, (it was also getting boring given how long they were taking) but the other part wanted one side to finally claim her allegiance. Her sole goal was to be entertained, and either side would be enjoyable to mess with. To her, it didn't matter that Megatron destroyed Crystal City. She's been questioned before as to why she holds no grudge, but Striker always avoids the questions. Some suspect she never had a real attachment to the city, and that it was just her old playground.

Eventually, the Decepticons won the race to Striker's capture after many months and many brain modules went into outsmarting her. She wasn't happy with being outsmarted, but she applauded them nonetheless and became one of the most easily claimed Decepticon troops. All Megatron said was "Join us" and her immediate answer was "sure!". He was a little pissed how much she made them work for it since she agreed instantly, but he admitted he was impressed.

Battles were won quite a fair amount more now that Megatron laid claim to the infamous "shadow prankster", but now that Striker wasn't constantly strategizing, she got back into her habit of keeping herself satiated by pranking bots. She pranked Vehicons, Combiners, her higher-ups, everyone. Her goal became "pranking every single con she's ever met and ever will meet".

Though an alternative presented to her by a medic named Thunderbolt, who was constantly fixing bots with injuries caused by her pranks (they pissed her off or something; she doesn't normally hurt her victims), was drawing. Striker picked up the hobby quickly and began to occupy part of her time by drawing. She got quite good at it too, and she also developed a tendency of drawing and/or carving on the walls.

Despite the hell Striker got because of what she put the Decepticon ranks through (they couldn't just get rid of one of their best strategists, even if it meant a few pranks), her life was relatively great. Past the incessant need she developed to be at constant work, she made friends and had a good life. She didn't often see battle because of her job and was well respected (partially out of fear). She didn't do a lot of missions either because she would refuse to change her color scheme. That only ended once Cybertron was deserted.

She fled to a planet named Pyrax, which was a planet formed from their sun but developed a thick atmosphere to retain a tropical kind of heat. On that planet was where she met Silver Petal. She ran into her when she tried to raid an old Decepticon base for spare parts and ran into an unconscious seeker bleeding out on the ground. She was half alive and losing energon and Striker managed to patch her up just enough to get her some help.

They ended up both retreating back to that base after her repairs were done and got the base back up to semi-functional. Silver Petal helps Striker with her need to do things and keep her pranking at bay by having her do different jobs and pretty up the base by drawing on the walls. But the strong need to strategize comes up, she'll help Striker strike some poor Autobot victim on Pyrax.

The two live there together by themselves for now but are perfectly willing to offer any Decepticons shelter should the cause arise. As for their relationship? Who knows...
