That applies to most name changes, really. Bluestreak however represents one of the rare cases Hasbro actually got the name back. Shockwave is another good example.

MP blue Bluestreak being a different character turned out to be a misconception.Jelze Bunnycat wrote:-Kanrabat- wrote:And people were arguing with me that Bluestreak and Silverstreak were different characters.
They were probably looking at the Japanese toys a tad too closely. The original silver toys go by the name "Streak" there, ergo "Bluestreak/Silverstreak = Streak". Fine, in come two blue redecos, Binaltech and Masterpiece, called "Bluestreak", a new character.

Oh no. Now you've got me worried that I'll never have the Prowl and Ironhide set I pre-ordered back in August, or either of the Galactic Odyssey sets I've also pre-ordered. I live in the UK but have an account on Amazon US for things like this. My order page says Prowl and Ironhide are coming this week, but I still haven't been charged for the transaction and the tracking info says it still hasn't been dispatched.

She has got to be one of the worst engineered designs of recent times. The look dosen't bother me, even the backpack I can forgive. But when it's impossible to get her legs in, so in car mode her wheels are useless as she skids on the back of her head and legs what's the point?
If Netflix Elita is based on this, I'm glad I kept my PotP version.

I would watch a video on transforming her. There are a couple important steps that the instructions aren't good at showing. I still couldn't get her legs in perfectly, but she seems to roll just fine.

Thank you. Yeah I did watch a couple videos, but I can "fake" that she rolls just fine on a video also, which I think some of these folks did.
