When the leakers first found out this existed a few days ago, they found and used the name Silverstreak before they knew anything else about the figure including the color, so there is a non-zero chance this figure will officially be called Silverstreak, yes.primalxconvoy wrote:Sentinel_Primal wrote:YES!! BLUE BLUESTREAK!! Thank you Hasbro cause this one is a deco on this mold I've been wanting since they started doing Diaclone versions
Is there a fan/officially repurposed new babe for these? Perhaps there's an official distinction between "Bluestreak" and "Silverstreak"?
Exactly. Blue. Not black. I understand why the comics did it, bit the end result is is the same regardless of the reason. They were blue, not black. And since we're getting both versions, I don't see why this is even a debate.Sabrblade wrote:To represent the black of his original toy.Rodimus Prime wrote:And blue.Sabrblade wrote:But he was silver in the comics.Rodimus Prime wrote:If that Blue Bluestreak is real, I'm definitely getting it. I never got the silver Bluestreak because the blue version is the comic accurate 1. Now if only we could get a blue and white Prowl...
Marvel US always did that, using blue to represent black. Skywarp was blue. Trailbreaker was blue. Ravage was blue. Grimlock's black parts were blue. Rumble and Frenzy were both blue.
Diaclone blue Bluestreak is blue in many of the wrong places for Marvel Bluestreak, and is missing all of his red parts too. To get a truly comic-accurate Bluestreak, he'd need to first be in his toy-accurate "all-silver car body parts w/ red and black robot parts" deco (as pictured above) but with the black robot parts, car windows, and car bumpers made blue. No part of his car's main body should be blue, which is the primary color of Diaclone blue Bluestreak's car body.Rodimus Prime wrote:Exactly. Blue. Not black.

Nitpick all you want, this new blue Bluestreak is still closer to the comic deco than the cartoon deco, regardless of its origins.Sabrblade wrote:Diaclone blue Bluestreak is blue in many of the wrong places for Marvel Bluestreak, and is missing all of his red parts too.

When was the alt mode blue in the comic? Looks silver/grey in every panel I ever read.

Yep.Sentinel_Primal wrote:TF-fan kev777 wrote:So clearly I must be in the minority for just liking it cause its pretty.

I mean, I really like the color scheme, plus I prefer the name Bluestreak for this version cause of the blue sides, in addition to the "talks a lot". Plus, I believe that this was the original color scheme before the one that got used for the cartoon was invented, kinda like the Sunstreaker/Sideswipe color swap

Closest we have right now is SG Starscream, who'd naturally side with the Heroic Autobots were he brought into the normal universe.TF-fan kev777 wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:You can never have too many Datsuns.AcademyofDrX wrote:I'm happy you DiaBros are getting another redeco, but after double dipping the cartoon characters across Siege and Earthrise, the last thing I need is another Datsun.Just like you can never have too many seekers.
^^^This
Also, since they went ahead and gave us a decepticon datsun in Barricade, when are we going to get an autobot in a seeker mold? I know I'd be down for one, but would want a new or re-purposed character that is not an aerialbot or Jetfire.

I'm surprised that none of the comics have addressed the "Blue/Silverstreak" situation and just created them as two separate individuals...

I believe Takara did at one point for MP blue Bluestreak, where normal Bluestreak (who I'll call Streak for the sake of clarity) shared a name with the ultra stealthy, borderline mythical, Winter Soldier style Bluestreak, granting Streak a bit of intimidation when fighting Cons, while Silverstreak was an additional Datsun with no relation

Well, I believe it was, but it seems to have vanished... So unfortunatley I can't check my facts or provide a link to it
Originally, MP blue Bluestreak had his own Wiki page because of some ambiguity in his bio that sort of made him sound like he was his own guy related to the Diaclone universe. But when MP Spin-Out came out his bio mentioned blue Bluestreak and clarified that he was just another form of normal Bluestreak--a sort of alter ego that changes Bluestreak's colors and alters his programming--and so his information was merged into normal Bluestreak's page.primalxconvoy wrote:Sentinel_Primal wrote:primalxconvoy wrote:Sentinel_Primal wrote:primalxconvoy wrote:Sentinel_Primal wrote:TF-fan kev777 wrote:So clearly I must be in the minority for just liking it cause its pretty.

I hate that when it happens. It almost feels like the internet has gas-lighted me...

As for MP Silverstreak, his bio was identical to that of normal Bluestreak, just with "Silver" added to his name, meaning he's just a toy-accurate MP of normal Bluestreak meant for collectors who prefer toy-accuracy over show-accuracy.
