Description

Here's another toy with an interesting story to him. One of the two toylines that formed the majority of the original Transformers toyline was Diaclone, and many releases in that line had multiple color schemes and retools. One toy from that line got imported to the US as Bluestreak...only Bluestreak wasn't blue, he was silver and black. Many people claimed that there were blue toys of Bluestreak, but no proof has ever come. Years later, and Hasbro loses the Bluestreak name (temporarily), so new releases are given the name 'Silverstreak'. Hasbro eventually reclaims Bluestreak, but continues to use the Silverstreak name...in this case, as a blue version of the Earthrise Datsun mold, released as a Target exclusive for the Buzzworthy Bumblebee line.

Silverstreak here got augmented with a weapons kit courtesy of Nonnef Productions, which gave him a new gun and slightly more impressive shoulder cannons. The kit's still available, and I recommend it for anyone who wants it. Just be careful, there are two versions - one is intended for Prowl and Bluestreak (this one here), and the other for Smokescreen and Barricade.
