Striker is a Dinobot from the Beast Machines era of Generation 1.

Striker is extremely dedicated to the Maximal cause. Methodical and deliberate in combat, Striker doesn't need T-Wrecks and his Dinobot allies to send scores of Vehicons to the scrapyard. Able to gather energy with his spinal plates and focus it into earthquake-inducing tail-slams, Striker is a one-robot wrecking crew. In robot mode, his tail becomes a powerful grappling rocket that draws hapless Vehicons into its crushing jaws!


Fiction

3H Wreckers Comics

The Dinobots were sent to an unnamed planet by the Oracle, in order to awaken the "sleeping giant" for a mysterious purpose. However, the mission was a fool's errand, arranged by the Quintessons and designed to destroy the Dinobots; the planet was the world where one of their most dangerous creations ever remained a prisoner, the energy-draining Trans-Organic creature known as the Dweller.

(Note: Striker was not visible among the Dinobot survivors at Spaceport CSSB-16. However, according to 3H writers, a future -ultiamtely unpublished- issue of Wreckers would show that Striker was in fact pulled from the battle with the Dweller by agents of Unicron.)

3H Universe Comics

Striker was one of several brainwashed minions of Unicron who greeted the captured Autobots and Maximals in the Cauldron. However, when he attempted to take on gate-crashers Optimus Primal, Grimlock and Megatron, he was subdued. Primal used his Oracle-enhanced (but limited by the powers of Unicron) spark telepathy to reach Striker's inner being, freeing him from Unicron's control. He and many others escaped form the Cauldron and returned to his proper dimension... in Striker's case, the technorganic Cybertron Primal called home.

Once on Cybertron, Striker assised Ratchet in trying to remove the Unicron virus from Sideswipe.


Toys

Beast Machines

Striker is a redeco of the Beast Wars Neo Destron Saberback. He transforms into a stegosaur, and has a third mode that's supposed to look like a dead stegosaur with a giant carnivorous flower growing out of it. His helmet is evocative of a Native American feather headdress.

The same mold is used for Dinobots Snarl.

Universe

Striker was redecoed as an Autobot for the Universe line, given the modified name Dinobot Striker for stronger trademark protection.
