Yeah, keep releasing those repaints. Don't think you'll have the same luck with the WJ mold. That's okay, this helps fill out my shelves with robot goodness.
I wouldn't mind an official confirmation of BB/UM in the Masterpiece line-up either. With some new details or extra pics.

I wish they would do a diaclone repaint of classics bluestreak instead. TFCC needs to do more repaints of diaclone decos. They can pass them off as SG. A black Ironhide and a blue Trailcutter with hoists head would also be nice.

Yeah, Diaclone repaints for any and all of the lines would be awesome IMO. I'd be all over a yellow Hoist and a blue Prime.

I can only assume it is the blue repaint, so I'm in for that.
If it turns out to be some other, I can always cancel.

Yup, my preorder is in. Times like this I wish I weren't an MP completionist.

It would be cool if a Diaclone redeco of MP Streak was actually named "Bluestreak", separating it from the regular silver-colored "Streak" version.

Maybe this will get people to shut up about the regular version being G1 show, comic, and toy accurate? That is if it's blue of course.

Yep, I've got it too. He's in truck mode attached to a KO FP DIA Commander trailer . I have a 'real' DIA Commander trailer combined with one of my Henkei Prime's at the moment.

If it's not a blue Diaclone version, then I don't understand what Takara and Hasbro have against the blue version of Bluestreak. Here's hoping for that e-Hobby version one day!

Isnt Hasbro releasing a legends/legions class version of Bluestreak in Diaclone colors with the TF Prime mold ?

Yup, and his deco is even similar to the blue Diaclone Fairlady Z with the blue sides and the white hood. Given that there were only two Diaclone decos (all silver is a TF original) and one is used for the cartoon, I'm suspecting the blue deco will be used if the birdie's guess is right.

Supposedly if it's ever released. Maybe with the 30th anniversary, we'll see some fun things like e-Hobby Blue G1 Bluestreak. Fingers crossed!
(and Dinobot reissues would be awesome and very appropriate this year as well)

There's another deco that I feel would be cool for them to make:

Courtesy of the Hobby Ark Toy Store Facebook page we have an update on the previously announced Takara Tomy Exclusive MP-18B Streak Redeco. The figure will apparently be a Tokyo Toy Show Exclusive just like last year's MP-12T Tigertrack. The figure will come with two missile launchers, and is rumored to come in the blue Diaclone color scheme. Image for reference only.
Preorder for Tokyo Toy Show Exclusive MP-18 repaint Blue Streak (comes with 2 missile launchers), Price=SGD$80, ETA=Jun/Jul 2014
