I wonder if that means they're kind of spinning him off into his own character.

I think 20 years ago they had lost the Bluestreak name so for the G1 reissue and Alternators they used the name Silverstreak. It's nice to see it come back around.

Not the worst thing. I just asked so that I can set my expectations to start looking for it.

Thanks to a heads up from Seibertronian Nemesis Primal, we have news that the teased but never officially revealed Transformers Buzzworthy Bumblebee Silverstreak figure has been found at US retail. Silverstreak is a repaint of the Transformers War for Cybertron Earthrise Bluestreak figure, in the original diaclone silver and blue color scheme. He has been teased and leaked, but so far he "officially" has not been revealed, but hopefully we will get a proper reveal with stock photos soon.
The Silverstreak shown below was found at a Target by Twitter user @Gei4Mei.
So with Silverstreak hitting the Targets, if you are in the US, head on out and start checking your Targets, looks like you might get lucky real soon. Let us know if you find one in the comments section below!

Glad to see he's not a red card exclusive as rumors suggested, but they really did just go "Well, we ran out of Bees, just throw whatever in", didn't they?

Wait, they call him Bluestreak with the Black and silver colorschem, and Silverstreak with the blue and silver?
And he's released in the Bumblebee line?
But whatever, I love that design and color scheme to much to pass.

Calling him Silverstreak (originally a lawyer-friendly substitute name, akin to the likes of "Trailcutter") with the blue-sided color scheme is somebody's idea of a joke, and IMO it's a pretty hilarious. And it's not like it doesn't fit.

They call him Bluestreak with the black and silver color scheme because that was the name they chose for him in G1 (in reference to the expression "to talk a blue streak") and that was the Diaclone Fairlady color scheme the G1 cartoon used for him (whereas the toy used an adulterated all-silver version for whatever reason). Now, they may have meant to use the blue-sided scheme, since that would have added another layer to the name and it is the one featured in the catalog and his instructions, but they didn't. Despite many playground rumors to the contrary.Blastback wrote:Wait, they call him Bluestreak with the Black and silver colorschem, and Silverstreak with the blue and silver?

Because "Buzzworthy Bumblebee" is in practice an odds-and-ends line. It's just that "Buzzworthy Bumblebee" sounds snappier than "The Transformers: Odds and Ends".Blastback wrote:And he's released in the Bumblebee line?

I'm familiar with where the Silverstreak name comes from, it's just wierd that that's the name they role with when they relese him with the blue paint job.
And it gave me a chance to use this smiley.
Don't get enough of those.

That's the whole joke of the name's use. They're using the opposite name for the opposite color scheme, on purpose, to make that joke.Blastback wrote:I'm familiar with where the Silverstreak name comes from, it's just wierd that that's the name they role with when they relese him with the blue paint job.

While part of me agrees as I don't particularly care for Exclusives, that step does help in it not selling out as fast only to immediately be offered by the 3rd party sellers for double.
I hope it's like Origin Bee where it might be scarce in teh beginning it actually winds up being very plentiful later on.

Weeeell after some deep pondering I've decided to keep my Collector's Club Bluestreak as my Neo-G1 stand in. Yeah it sux that he is missing the door wings which was lame for that line but it's to the difference that I dig him so 'nuff said!

I checked tonight and didn't see him. My local store still has around a dozen Origin Bees and at least 6 SS86 Kup figures yet, plus the new BB Kup. Might be a bit before I see him

Yeah I’ve been meaning to ask if the Buzzworthy Kup & Cliffjumper have been difficult for people to find…
As far as I know, my Target has only had them the time I saw them. There were 3 of each based on 3 B-127’s. There were two of each of them, & I took one of each.
I go to Target a lot, & haven’t seen them since.
Not any B-127’s either.
Today there were 8-9 Origin Bee’s, & that was it for that line minus the Megatron multi-pack things… 6-7 of those.
I would’ve thought with the work they put into those repaints, they would be really plentiful.
But maybe not?

My area is different, but they are being bought. B-127 I see regularly, then Kup, almost never Cliffjumper. Based on the first time I saw them in on a shelf I'd say there's one Cliff to a case, 2 Kup , 3 B-127.
