Grizzly can define the course of a battle and it's power to push and attrit skirms is amazing. Killing a skirm every few seconds it will generally make cost in under a minute while being hard to kill as long as there's a small escort.

Another game defining superskirm, however the fact you'll probably be using it on spider maps where widows lurk makes it a lot dicier than Grizzly in practice (whose hp makes a single widow an unreliable counter).

The good range, insta-hit and stun make it a pretty flexible unit applicable in a range of situations. Most notably against tank where it essentially counters the entire factory (technically a Cyclops can kite a knight ball indefinitely, but in practice with retreat zones they won't actually die and you probably have area cloaking by then).

High HP and jump lets it dive porc and coms to great effect. It's quite specialized though.

Sort of just there, you build it to raid and retreat, particularly against porc, but it doesn't really have many strong matchups and its effective DPS per cost is very low (partly due to its slow bullet speed making chasing/hitting difficult and partly because its anti-breakpoint damage: 8 seconds per Lotus is painful).

It can dive a Lance if your opponent is inattentive and thus doesn't use the fact that Minotaur is only 24 elmo faster than a Lance.

The only way this will work as a surprise strider is if neither of you have gone air much in a fairly high metal game (probably dense and small). In practice there was almost certainly something more important you should have made, like a Silo.
