This was the original animation for the TV award World Cup Soccer. It was eliminated for two reasons: a few people (at Williams, not the soccer people) wondered if it was appropiate to "electrocute" the World Cup's official mascot, and the rule changed.
Originally, the TV award is what awarded the Ultra Awards, which transformed various playfield elements into high scoring opportunities. This naturally called for Striker to be "transformed" into Ultra Striker, and what better way for a TV to do that than by magnetically charged particles? The transformation argument didn't hold much water, the rule changed, no big deal.
