Bluestreak (G1)

The name or term "Bluestreak" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Bluestreak (disambiguation).

Bluestreak is an Autobot from the Generation 1 continuity family.

Bluestreak (aka Silverstreak^[1]) is a talker. He talks a lot. Any subject, any time of the day, his lips are flapping while his Autobot comrades are rolling their eyes. Could be about things on Earth, could be about things on Cybertron, could be about just about anything, but the point is, y'know, he's talking. Words are coming out of his mouth in a near constant prattling stream. Some think he's vapid, that his mouth just moves a billion times faster than his brain, if his brain is moving at all. Or they imagine that he's a fool who doesn't know when to shut up, that he drones on and on and on and on because maybe he just likes to hear himself speak or something.

His friends realize, however, that his jabbering hides a deeper pain. At the beginning of the war, Bluestreak's home city was totally destroyed by Decepticons. He was the only survivor. It's as if by talking he tries to drown out his own fears and memories somehow. "There's some demons runnin' loose inside that boy," says Hound, "and sometimes I think they grab hold of him and won't let him go." He hated war, he still does, but ever since, he's hated Decepticons even more. It is odd to see a bot of peace so willingly take up arms, but Bluestreak's got a score to settle.

Talk may be cheap, but it keeps him sane.

Marvel The Transformers comics

Millions of years ago on Cybertron, Bluestreak was escorted by Fusion on a mission to deliver shatter bombs to the Autobot military commander Optimus Prime. Fusion was focused on picking off the Decepticon jets which were hounding his partner when a blast from one of these Decepticons killed Fusion. Bluestreak was able to complete the mission thanks to his friend's efforts, but he swore revenge. And There Shall Come...a Leader!

Bluestreak arrived on Earth with his fellow Autobots four million years ago and remained inactive until 1984. Along with Mirage and Huffer, Bluestreak was one of the less sympathetic of the Ark's crew when it came to humans. The Transformers In an early mission in the United Kingdom, he provided covering fire for an Autobot convoy, using his sharpshooting skills to knock Thundercracker out of the sky with one shot. Don't mess. Man of Iron

He suggested repairing the Ark and simply abandoning Earth's people to the Decepticons after learning that Sparkplug Witwicky had allegedly provided their foes with a fuel conversion process while he was their prisoner. Despite their conflicting views, Optimus Prime still recognized Bluestreak's skill as a sharpshooter and chose him to be one of the five Autobots recharged in the Tubes of Transference, in the hopes that at least some Autobots would be at full capacity when the inevitable Decepticon attack came. When it did, Bluestreak was brazen enough to attack Megatron himself, head-on. Despite their temporary victory, the battle-weary Autobots were blindsided by the returning Decepticon Shockwave, who knocked them all down with a single blast. The Last Stand

Bluestreak was hung from the ceiling of the Ark, prepared by Shockwave to be used as spare parts for the next generation of Decepticons. The New Order Ratchet beheld him in this sad state as the last surviving Autobot infiltrated the now Decepticon-controlled ship Warrior School! but the medic managed to re-secure the Ark, and Bluestreak was subsequently rebuilt. Afterwards, to make sure all of the Autobots were back in fighting shape, Ratchet had Bluestreak and the others go on a diagnostics run through the open plains. DIS-Integrated Circuits!

During a mission to stop Soundwave from broadcasting a transmission to their Decepticon brethren back on Cybertron, Bluestreak was one of the first Autobots to confront the Constructicons. This effort almost ended badly when the Constructicons revealed they could merge into the mighty Devastator, but Bluestreak and the others were saved by Huffer and the human trucker Bomber Bill. The Next Best Thing to Being There! It soon became apparent to the Autobots that Buster Witwicky's life was in danger so long as he carried the Creation Matrix while the Decepticons kept hostage the head of Optimus Prime, so Bluestreak and Bumblebee were assigned to guard him. Bluestreak's embarrassing line of questioning about what kissing entailed was interrupted when he and Bumblebee were attacked by Laserbeak. Bluestreak reacted quickly, taking the Decepticon out with a blast from his ion-dispenser rifle, but was less prepared when the pair were assaulted by the Decepticon prototype warrior Jetfire. After he suffered heavy wounds, his life was saved once again by a human; Buster Witwicky used the power of the Creation Matrix to disassemble Jetfire before their eyes. Brainstorm!

As the Witwickys celebrated Christmas at the Ark, Bluestreak argued with Prowl over the strategic value and social utility of a Christmas tree. The two Autobots concluded that Optimus participated in the Earth's bizarre rituals as a show of gratitude towards Buster for carrying the Matrix of Creation for him in the Autobots' time of need. Christmas Breaker! Bluestreak was one of the Autobots involved in the argument over Prowl's plan to create dedicated Autobot warriors using the Matrix, siding with those in favor of creating "Ultimate Autobots." Crisis of Command! He was also at the Ark when attacked by Peter Anthony Morris using the Dinobot, Swoop. The Icarus Theory

While Bluestreak and Bumblebee were helping Buster, Optimus Prime had been restored, but not without cost to the Autobot ranks. To help offset this, Bluestreak and Mirage assisted with the Rite of the Autobrand on Jetfire, whom Optimus Prime had recently given life. Rock and Roll-Out!

During the Dinobot Hunt, Bluestreak was sent with Sideswipe and Huffer to Doonstown to capture the berserk Grimlock, but they were surprised to find Grimlock locked in battle with Sludge. Bluestreak was the first member of the team down, deactivated by the crazed Dinobots before he had a chance to react. Dinobot Hunt!

When Bumblebee was targeted by the Decepticons, Bluestreak was part of the Autobot squad dispatched to intercept the enemy and rescue his friend. Plight of the Bumblebee! He was also present at the Ark shortly before Optimus Prime's first encounter with the Predacons. Prey!

During Grimlock's command, Bluestreak left the Ark to cheer beside the other Autobots as they watched Grimlock fight Blaster on Earth's moon for Autobot leadership. The bout was interrupted by a Decepticon attack, and though the evil robots managed to strike a devastating first blow, Blaster and Grimlock managed to put their differences aside long enough to lead their troops together. Many Autobots were badly damaged in the ensuing scuffle, though Bluestreak was still standing after the Decepticons had been sent into a retreat. Totaled! After Blaster rejoined the Autobots, Bluestreak helped put him through his paces in a training exercise. Club Con! Later, Bluestreak was among the Autobots who responded to a distress call sent by Buster in close proximity to the Decepticons' Arctic base. A battle between the two factions erupted, though it came to an abrupt end when all involved learned that Starscream was manipulating them. Autobots and Decepticons joined forces to stop the treacherous Seeker from absorbing the power of the Underbase, but Starscream managed to take into himself enough to render him nigh-unstoppable. Several squads were formed and planted in key cities to stop Starscream's rampage across the globe, Bluestreak getting stationed in New York. There, he was overwhelmed by Starscream, but not before some choice words. Starscream noted that Bluestreak spoke "freely, but foolishly," and ended his life, along many others', with little effort. Dark Star

Transformers '84

Four million years ago, Bluestreak was among a group of Autobots who joined Optimus Prime as part of the Ark's crew. Hoping for a change of scenery, he was unaware of the missions true purpose; the sacrifice of Optimus and some of the Autobot's finest in a trap to save the universe from Megatron's tyranny. With The Ark's hull breached by Megatron and his Decepticon forces, the crew valiantly fight for their lives. And so begins the story of... THE TRANSFORMERS '84 #0

Bluestreak was one of the original crew members of the Ark when it set off from Cybertron in search of new sources of fuel and energy. Attacked en route by the Decepticon flagship Nemesis, the Ark crashed into a volcano, and the Autobots lay dormant for millions of years. When the volcano erupted and activated Teletraan I in 1984, Bluestreak was reformatted into a Datsun 280Z. Shortly after Hound and Cliffjumper discovered Megatron's plans, Bluestreak was part of the Autobot battle group dispatched to follow Megatron's raid on an off-shore oil rig, despite not having been ordered to do so. More than Meets the Eye, Part 1

After rescuing the humans, he was also among the Autobots who responded to the Decepticon attack on Sherman Dam and the ruby crystal mines of Burma. More than Meets the Eye, Part 2. Then, when the Decepticons managed to extricate themselves from the mine explosion, Bluestreak and Ironhide took to the air and engaged in a dogfight with Skywarp. He avoided injury, but abandoned the chase when Ironhide was shot down and managed to drag his friend to safety after a water landing. More than Meets the Eye, Part 3

After Megatron was seemingly lost forever inside the space bridge, the Autobots thwarted an ill-planned Decepticon attack on yet another hydroelectric power plant under the command of Starscream. Chasing after the escaping Decepticons, Bluestreak managed to damage both Starscream and Thundercracker significantly with a single blast from his shoulder cannons. He and Prowl followed the fleeing villains to a human aircraft hangar, from which the Decepticons were scavenging parts. Bluestreak accused Starscream of having a manifold for a mouth. It was hilarious, but both Autobots were outnumbered when Soundwave unleashed Ravage. Fortunately, their human friend Chip Chase took control of Prowl's systems and sent the Decepticons packing. Roll for It

Bluestreak accompanied Ironhide, Bumblebee, and Trailbreaker to Cybertron to get a cosmitron for the dying Optimus Prime. He was attacked by the Rainmakers' acid rain just outside of Wheeljack's workshop and was nearly deactivated. Once given a pep talk by Chip Chase, he shot down the Rainmakers, enabling the Autobots to get the cosmitron. Divide and Conquer Bluestreak was present during the unveiling of the Dinobots and responded in awe. Later on, he was with the Autobots during the Decepticon ambush at the Great Falls. He shot at Rumble, but was unable to hit him. Defeated, the Autobots were all tied up by the Decepticons. Wheeljack used Bluestreak's bolt gun to give the Autobots an instant recharge S.O.S. Dinobots Bluestreak was in the Autobot group who flew with Skyfire to Peru. He fried Laserbeak during one of the skirmishes, and used his lights so Skyfire could see Wheeljack. Fire on the Mountain When the New Dinobots were created, Bluestreak was one of the Autobots selected for a mock battle against Snarl and Swoop. He was defeated along with the rest of the group and jokingly commented on the battle saying they would have won if it was real... Maybe. War of the Dinobots

Bluestreak's skill as a gunner was frequently employed in combat. On one occasion, Laserbeak was trying to fly off with Spike Witwicky, and Bluestreak was able to target and shoot one of the tin turkey's legs without hitting Spike to free him. The Ultimate Doom, Part 2 When the Autobots surfed towards the Decepticons, he was the first to notice the tidal wave about to engulf the group. The Ultimate Doom, Part 3 He was present with the rest of Autobots during the staged battle between Optimus Prime and Megatron. Heavy Metal War

Some of Bluestreak's spare parts were used on Sparkplug's Autobot X, including one of the door-wings. Later Bluestreak was one of the Autobots that went to go help Autobot Spike during his confusion. Autobot Spike Bluestreak was one of the Autobots that reacted to a Decepticon attack at a mining colony and also present at the Ark when Megatron's solar needle caused an avalanche. He had to run away from a boulder to avoid being crushed by it. Changing Gears Bluestreak accompanied Optimus Prime to New York City to stop Megatron from converting the city into his base. He was the first to notice Prime's missing arm on top of the Empire State Building and later blasted a subway car piloted by Frenzy. City of Steel

Bluestreak was a victim of Megatron's personality destabilizer device that was placed in the Autobots' recharging chambers. Once under Decepticon control, Bluestreak attacked Bumblebee and tried to make him recharge, but was disabled by Jazz. After regaining consciousness, he was the first to be brought back using Sparkplug's new invention, the attitude exchanger. Afterward, he accompanied Jazz and Sparkplug to return the other Autobots to normal. When they needed to get Skyfire's attention, Bluestreak fired at him with the results they wanted. Attack of the Autobots

Bluestreak was present in the Ark when Cliffjumper first accused Mirage of being a traitor and also present later when Mirage was being repaired and Cliffjumper was accusing him again. Traitor Bluestreak was the second Autobot to be hit by the Immobilizer when the Autobots went to retrieve it. The Immobilizer

Bluestreak participated in the Autobot race for charity. He was hit by the Transfixatron, rendering him unable to transform. Then Starscream and Thundercracker disabled him. He was later one of the first to be restored by the anti-transfixation grenade. The Autobot Run Bluestreak assisted with the Autobot attempt to recapture the irreplaceable robot ninja Nightbird for the famous scientist Doctor Fujiyama after the Decepticons turned her against humanity. Optimus Prime was insistent the Autobots not shoot or harm Nightbird, but Bluestreak saved Prime anyway from the attacking ninja by cleanly shooting Nightbird's laser sword out of her hands. Enter the Nightbird

Bluestreak was around when the Autobots were confused about who was the real Optimus Prime when Megatron's clone infiltrated the Autobot base. A Prime Problem He was part of the attack against the Decepticons to try to get Devastator on the Autobot side. He succeeded in knocking all three seeker jets out of the sky with a missile barrage, but was later kicked down by Devastator. The Core Bluestreak suddenly appeared in the group of Autobots that attacked the Decepticons in South America. Microbots Bluestreak was present when Optimus Prime thanked Spike, Carly, and the Dinobots for what they did for the Autobots. Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 2

Bluestreak was in the group of Autobots that responded to the distress call from the Haley Observatory. They were late and Megatron got away with the Voltronic Galaxer. Blaster Blues Bluestreak was part of the second Autobot group that tried to attack the electrum-covered Decepticons, but was defeated. He was later present in the battle at the golden lagoon, which ended in victory for the Autobots The Golden Lagoon When Kremzeek, attacked Bluestreak was one of the many Autobots deactivated before Sparkplug Witwicky was able to coat a few with insulating foam. Kremzeek!

Bluestreak entered Blitzwing's zone defense around the football stadium, but was severely damaged and built into a throne by Scrapper. Triple Takeover When the Decepticons took control of the Key to Vector Sigma, Bluestreak left the base when the Autobots left to attack them. The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 2

Along with several fellow Autobots, Bluestreak participated in the Europa 2000, an international charity race stretching from Paris to Istanbul. When the arrogant racing driver Auggie Cahnay cut across Bumblebee, an indignant Bluestreak helped his understandably angry friend catch up to the American and attempt to teach him some manners. Later, after running afoul of the Stunticons, Bluestreak learned of Megatron's plan for the Pearl of Bahoudin from Professor Teranova and deduced that the missing Autobots must have been disabled by the Stunticons.

After Cahnay's car was stolen by the Decepticons to use as raw materials for a weather control machine, Bluestreak allowed the hotshot driver to race him to victory at the finish line. Together, Bluestreak, Tracks and Bumblebee headed out to confront the Decepticons, but when the Pearl was lost in a tornado, Megatron unleashed Menasor onto the Autobots. Ironically, it was Cahnay who defeated Menasor by sacrificing his car, much to Bluestreak's surprise. Trans-Europe Express Bluestreak was at the Autobot base after the Stunticons were captured by the other Autobots. Masquerade

In the year 2005, Bluestreak helped Kup move a roadblock on Lookout Mountain, just before Hot Rod and Daniel Witwicky crashed through it. The Transformers: The Movie

On Cybertron, Ricochet often had marksmanship contests with his friends Fusion and Bluestreak. The Transformers Collection Ricochet bio

The Battle of the Star Gate

Bluestreak was part of a team of Autobots who attended the field-test for the C-X. As Optimus and the C-X unit battled one another during the test, Bluestreak suggested ways to improve the C-X's A.I. and targeting systems. When the C-X suddenly went berserk, Bluestreak jumped into action to help out Optimus Prime against it. The C-X unit simply kicked Bluestreak out of its way, leaving Optimus to disable it on his own. Divided Views

Bluestreak was amongst the Autobots who once more confronted Megatron and his Decepticons at the Trigger in Earth orbit. When Starscream combined himself with the Trigger to create a powerful new body for himself, Bluestreak had to contend with the volley of asteroids thrown towards both Autobots and Decepticons from Starscream's star gate. He was then almost sucked into a portal to a black hole when Starscream neared defeat, but was instead sent plummeting down to Earth when Optimus and Megatron worked together to defeat Starscream. The Battle of the Star Gate

Story of Binaltech

Suffering from the Cosmic Rust virus, Bluestreak was one of the first Autobots reconstructed using Binaltech technology. Alongside Smokescreen, Hound, Tracks, and Sideswipe, he helped Earth Defense Command drive the Decepticons off of Earth. Bluestreak continued serving on Earth at Autobot City, under Ultra Magnus's overall command. Binaltech Is...

BT World

As the conflict raged on, thanks to the time- and space-warping actions of both Ravage and a mysterious entity known as The Protector, the events of the Binaltech conflict were branched off to become their own, distinct parallel universe (the "BT World") separate from the "mainstream" timeline. Binal Time

When the spark of Prowl from the "BT World" was lost in interdimensional subspace, it re-emerged in the mainstream timeline, and was discovered by Bluestreak and the other Autobots. Soon after, a strange energy surge came across the dimensions from the "BT World" and made contact with Prowl's spark, driving into a dangerously unstable state. To save the life of this Prowl he had never even known, Bluestreak tracked the energy back across the dimensions and traveled to the "BT World", meeting up with the local versions of Grimlock and Prowl 2 (a duplicate Prowl powered by the consciousness of Chip Chase). The pair brought him back to the Autobots' headquarters, where he explained the situation to Ultra Magnus. Unfinished Business, Part 1

Jazz used the data Bluestreak had brought with him to pinpoint the source of the energy surge. During the subsequent raid, Bluestreak and the Autobots discovered that the surge was the work of Swindle and the Concurrence, who were using a subspace node to drain energy from Prowl's spark, which they then used to power a giant robot made of synthetic electrum. Once Jazz had taken out the node, Bluestreak took down the robot with some well-placed shots. They were then contacted by Overdrive from Bluestreak's dimension, who reported that Prowl's spark had stabilized, but that it would be too dangerous to send it back through subspace unshielded. Instead, Chip's consciousness was removed from the Prowl 2 body and returned to his human frame, and the Binaltech shell was then taken back across the dimensions by Bluestreak so Prowl's spark could be implanted in it. Unfinished Business, Part 2

Unknown to Bluestreak, a genetic command was secretly implanted into him by Anterior Zeta of the Diadem facility. Inspired by Spin-Out's data from another universe, it was an anti-Waruder program that activated when Bluestreak was met with a Probe Insecter Masterpiece Spin-Out bio in Asia. His colors changing to a blue scheme inspired by his Diaclone counterpart, Bluestreak went awry and into hiding, to the confusion of the Autobots, who didn't know who this unknown, yet similar to Bluestreak, robot was.

With Sparkplug acting as their referee, Bluestreak and Sideswipe raced one another in order to determine who was the fastest. The race ended in a tie, with Sparkplug declaring them both winners. Just then, Thundercracker and Starscream swooped down onto the trio, and cast Sleep Nets unto them, rendering them unconscious. Bluestreak was brought to Megatron's newly constructed prison, and was incarcerated within. Luckily, Bumblebee had not been captured, and managed to free the other Autobots. Upon their escape, Bluestreak and Sideswipe shot Starscream and Thundercracker out of the sky. Bumblebee to the Rescue!

Bluestreak spotted the Decepticons attacking Sparkplug and Buster Witwicky. He charged to their rescue, and with the help of the other Autobots, saved both of the humans. He later helped the Autobots protect the Hoover Dam. The Deadly Fuel Shortage

Upon awakening on Earth after being offline for about 65 million years, Bluestreak was one of the Autobots who attempted to take the Decepticons by surprise while the evil robots still did not know what Earth forms the Autobots had taken. Though they successfully took by surprise a squadron of Decepticons, the Autobots had not anticipated a second group flying in from the opposite direction. Thanks to a warning from Spike and Sparkplug, the Autobots managed to fend off the Decepticons, and came to accept Earth as their new home. Battle for Cybertron

Decepticon Poison

Bluestreak was amongst the Autobots getting topped up with their latest batch of fuel when Red Alert burst into Autobot headquarters, warning everyone about Ramjet being spotted nearby. The Autobots’ latest batch of fuel had been poisoned by the fleeing Decepticon, leaving Bluestreak unable to transform.

In one possible sequence of events that ensued, Perceptor gave out the right amount of an antidote the Autobot scientist had created, allowing Bluestreak to resume his robot form and take arms against an incoming squadron of Decepticons. The antidote having given Bluestreak and the rest of the cured Autobots a case of battle fever, the bunch were eager to take on the Decepticons head on in combat. The more level-head Prowl suggested instead a more conniving approach, where the Autobots would ambush their assailants.

If Optimus allowed Bluestreak and the rest of the refuelled Autobots to venture headlong into battle, the group fond themselves fighting against Megatron himself, accompanied by a squad of Decepticon jets. Though Bluestreak's squad started out strong, they soon found themselves overpowered by Megatron, prompting Optimus to lead a second wave into battle. The second wave soon ran out of fuel, prompting the Autobots to call a retreat. Thankfully, the Decepticons were damaged enough through the course of the battle, causing them to retreat as well.

If Optimus instead followed Prowl's plan, he instructed Bluestreak and the others to transform into vehicle mode and play dead. The Decepticons, believing the Autobots to be already dead, disarmed themselves in order to carry out the Autobots’ “carcasses.” Now with the element of surprise against unarmed opponent, the Autobots Transformed and were able to easily defeat the evil robots.

In another possible turn of events, Perceptor gave out too much of his antidote to each Autobot. Though Bluestreak initially cheered, finding himself able to transform once more, he soon found himself literally falling to pieces. The Autobots finding themselves completely outmatched against an all-out Decepticon attack were made short work of by the Decepticons.

In yet another possible scenario, the Autobots used the tainted fuel to create a toxic cloud that successfully fended off the Decepticons attack. This plan gave Perceptor the time he needed to cure Bluestreak and the others with his antidote. Their ranks fully replenished and the Decepticons turning tail meant the Autobots had earned themselves another victory.

In completely different possible sequence of events, Optimus successfully retrieved the antidote to the poison from the Decepticons’ poison lab, and with Ratchet's help, brought Bluestreak and the rest of the poisoned Autobots back from the precipice of death. Now cured, the Autobots discussed their next course of action; they had to prevent the Decepticons from poisoning the nearby water reservoir.

If Optimus decided to head for the water reservoir, Bluestreak was one of the Autobots who accompanied him. In one possible scenario, confronted with a swarm of Decepticon jets crowding over the water reservoir, Bluestreak and the other Autobots attempted to lure the Decepticons away from the reservoir, and into a nearby forest where the Autobots would have some cover. Finding themselves under heavy fire before they could reach the treeline, the Autobots were forced to fight back in the open. Bluestreak was then killed by Megatron. Decepticon Poison

Dreamwave Generation One continuity

When the Autobot/Decepticon war first erupted over 8.7 million years ago, Bluestreak's home city-state of Praxus was utterly destroyed. The entire population of Praxus was killed, with Bluestreak, who had been protected by Ramjet's troops, being the sole exception. This was a deliberate action on Megatron's part, as he wanted a sole survivor to bear witness to his power, and spread his message of terror. Hardwired Originally a merchant, Bluestreak then joined the Autobot army. 500,000 years later, he visited his friend Optronix at the Vaults and related Sentinel Prime's death, The War Within #1 and later served in the last-ditch attempt to defend Iacon from Shockwave's forces. The War Within #5

7.4 million years ago, Bluestreak remained with the Autobot faction after the apparent death of Optimus Prime. He and Trailbreaker remained at Autobase while Prowl led a task force against Trypticon. While there, they met Jetfire and apprised him of the current situation on Cybertron. Devastation Prowl's task force soon ran into trouble however, as Trypticon turned out to be more than they could handle. Bluestreak headed out into the field as part of a group of reinforcements to aid in the conflict. Everything the Autobots threw at Trypticon still wasn't enough to defeat the giant however, and the Autobots only survived because their enemy was called away mid-battle. Revelation 1.4 million years later, Bluestreak and an Autobot/Decepticon/Ultracon force helped defend a peace ceremony at Tyger Pax from the Predacons. They were successful against the Predacons, but soon fell before the return of Megatron, and his Aerospace Extermination Squadron, ushering in the Age of Internment. The Age of Wrath At this time, Bluestreak was among the many unfortunate Autobots who were captured an enslaved, forced to dig down to Cybertron's core in one of the Decepticons' labor camps. The Age of Wrath Pt.2

Optimus returned to Cybertron, and the Autobots were freed from slavery. The Age of Wrath Pt.6

Bluestreak was among the crew of the Ark when it crashed on Earth 4 million years ago, and awoke in 1984 to battle the Decepticons. After years of fighting, Bluestreak and the other Autobots took part in Operation Liberation in 1998, a joint human/Autobot operation that defeated and captured the Earth-bound Decepticons. However, the Ark II, which was meant to convey the Autobots, the captured Decepticons, and a number of humans back to Cybertron, was sabotaged by General Robert Hallo, sending Bluestreak and his comrades to the bottom of the Arctic Ocean.

Bluestreak was later recovered by the sinister Lazarus, and his deactivated form was used to power Megatron's deadly metal virus weapon, after the Decepticons broke free of Lazarus's control. By the time he was rescued by Optimus Prime, Bluestreak's energy had been almost fatally depleted. Prime Directive #4

Bluestreak recovered, however, and rejoined his newly active comrades. He was with Optimus Prime and Jazz in Tokyo, Japan, trying to rebuild their rep with the humans when Megatron attacked. During the battle, a lattice of red and blue energy struck down from the heavens, scooping up the four Transformers and over 200 humans in the immediate area, blasting them back out into space. Their hosts were a group of enigmatic beings known as the Keepers, who were transporting them through deep space to their base of operations, the Labyrinth. During their travels, Bluestreak was forced to experience a full-sensory recreation of Praxus, and its last hours before Megatron destroyed it. The Keepers also showed Bluestreak, for the first time, how Megatron used him as a messenger of doom. Horrified at the part he unwittingly played in the Decepticon war engine, Bluestreak swore to destroy Megatron.

In the Labyrinth, the Keepers forced the Transformers to participate in battledome combat, fighting alien opponents and each other, with their lives and the lives of the humans taken with them hanging in the balance. Bluestreak and Jazz were forced to fight each other to the death amidst a random assortment of humans, held in place around the battledome by the Keepers' power. Failure to continue the battle resulted in a "penalty", where the Keepers would callously murder the humans to keep the Autobots fighting, but the fighting itself was just as potentially dangerous for the civilians in the arena. The battle only ended when Bluestreak deliberately took a critical blast from Jazz's photon rifle in order to save one of the humans from certain death. The Keepers forced Jazz to finish the job, executing his friend at point blank range to avoid any additional deaths. Bluestreak died consoling Jazz that he had done the right thing.

But he did not die for long. After the Keepers were revealed as vast techno-organic lifeforms, Optimus Prime was able to manipulate the Matrix to help bring him, Megatron, Jazz and the surviving humans back home. Unfortunately, the Keepers came too, having assembled a menagerie of host bodies for themselves in order to more directly interact with other beings. One of those host bodies was Bluestreak's animated corpse. Hardwired

The Keepers took up residence in Las Vegas, a city Starscream had claimed in the Decepticon name with Megatron absent. Through their host Bluestreak, the Keepers attempted to make Starscream submit to their rule. When he refused, Keeper-Bluestreak overloaded him with raw energy, bringing Starscream to the brink of death so that his body could be taken by the Keepers as well. The remaining Decepticons loyal to Starscream were contained behind an impenetrable energy barrier.

The free Autobots and Decepticons of Earth joined forces with the human military forces in an effort to retake Las Vegas. The Keepers possessing Bluestreak and Starscream were immensely powerful, but their host bodies were still damaged during the conflict. To better confront their adversaries, they merged the two Cybertronians into a single, massive host. This proved to be their undoing. Bluestreak's consciousness survived, lost in an astral void while the Keeper controlled his body, unable to communicate or interact with anything. Starscream was in the same state until their bodies merged, allowing their minds to touch as well. Together, Bluestreak and Starscream exerted their will over their unwanted passengers, forcing the Keepers out and reclaiming their own separate bodies. In the end, Optimus Prime used the power of the Matrix to capture and redirect the force of a nuclear missile strike and a vein of pure Energon to eradicate the Keepers. Annihilation

Unfortunately, the Keepers were not done yet. Not quite. They still existed in the Void, a non-space outside of the dimensional walls. Their human agent, Franklin Townsend, was able to use the lingering power of the Keepers to take control of Bluestreak and Starscream, forcing them to serve him in paving the way for the Keepers' return. This was not true possession, however, but a form of mental compulsion, which Bluestreak was able to at least partially resist. Despite this, Townsend was still able to acquire the Matrix and the services of Allister Greaves, a human who was forced to create a gateway for the Keepers.

A final battle occurred at Greaves estate, where the gateway was constructed. Optimus and Megatron arrived with support from Devastator and the Omega Sentinel. As Bluestreak and Starscream were forced to defend the gateway, the Autobot finally broke free of his mental domination. He was ready to kill Franklin in cold blood for revenge, but Bumblebee arrived and tried to talk him out of it. As they were arguing, Franklin attacked Spike Witwicky to regain control of the gateway, and Bluestreak blasted him in order to save Spike. Optimus finally sealed the gateway and the Keepers were trapped in the Void forever. Fusion

When Shockwave came to Earth and announced that the Autobot/Decepticon wars were over and that the two factions had been united, Bluestreak was more than skeptical, suggesting it was a trick. The memory of his destroyed home-city still haunted him, and he would not believe the same beings who killed innocents could change their ways. His views clashed those of with Gears, who did not see the point in fighting wars that had been ended. New World Order Despite his objections, Bluestreak was among the Autobots who joined Optimus Prime in surrendering to Shockwave's lieutenant, Ultra Magnus. Brothers' Burden Ferried back to Cybertron by Sky Lynx, Bluestreak and the others were imprisoned and scheduled for execution, but were freed by Broadside and taken to an underground hideout. Cold War En route to meeting the resistance's leaders, Bluestreak tried to have Gears fess up that it had been foolish to trust Shockwave in the first place. Bitter over where events had taken them, Gears replied that Bluestreak should "blow it out of [his] waste regulator!" Passive Aggression Afterwards, Bluestreak fought in the battle to retake Iacon, ultimately ending in the Autobots' favor. With Shockwave's regime successfully toppled, Bluestreak and his comrades began to rebuild their planet. Revelation

Shortly after Ultra Magnus recovered from injuries he suffered when the Autobots overthrew Shockwave, Bluestreak and the rest of the Ark's crew were approached by Prowl about returning to Earth. Original Sin Prowl wanted to establish a more permanent Autobot presence on Earth, due in part to some curious data he had come across while researching the clone entity known as Sunstorm. Bluestreak was by far the most talkative of the Autobots at the meeting, weighing in on both sides of the discussion as the debate over returning raged back and forth. Unfortunately for Bluestreak, no one was listening to a word he said. Atonement Prowl eventually convinced all of the Ark's crew to return with him and begin construction of Autobot City on Earth, and they departed from Cybertron shortly thereafter. Lost and Found

G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers

Bluestreak was among the deactivated Transformers found, rebuilt and reprogrammed by Cobra, who proceeded to use the alien robots for their plan to conquer the world. Along with Prowl, Bluestreak now transformed into a Cobra Firebat jet, but was eventually freed from the humans' control by Wheeljack's tampering. Joining Prowl, Trailbreaker and Gears, he confronted Cobra Commander and fought against his S.N.A.K.E. guards. Bluestreak was horrified when Storm Shadow killed Trailbreaker during the fight, but the shock quickly turned to anger, and he and his comrades attacked the human and ripped his mech apart. G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #5 Bluestreak was later seen fighting Decepticon Seekers in the sky when the SPS Satellite went out of control and started firing at Cobra Island randomly. G.I.

Hearts of Steel

Bluestreak was among the Autobot forces who fought the Decepticons on Earth in the distant past until an incoming ice age threatened to deactivate all the Transformers. Both sides went into hiding underground until the danger had passed, remaining in stasis until the mid-19th century. When they woke up, the war against the Decepticons started anew, though Bluestreak was not seen partaking in any of the action. Hearts of Steel #1

2005 IDW continuity

First appearance: Stormbringer #1

Bluestreak hailed from Praxus. The One Where They Go to Earth At the very beginning of the Cybertronian civil war, Bluestreak worked in Security Services under Sentinel Prime. Megatron Origin #4 Later, but still very early in the war, Bluestreak helped defend the planet from Trypticon as part of Blurr's harassment team. The Illusion of Control At a later point still, he was part of an extraction team led by Ironhide that retrieved a damaged Jazz and Tracks from their skirmishing with the Predacons. Bluestreak's sharpshooting skills took out Razorclaw just in time to keep Jazz on-line. Spotlight: Jazz

Bluestreak would become the longest-standing patient of Autobot psycho-analyst Rung. Bullets

Four million years ago, Bluestreak Silverstreak good ol' Streak was present at a victory celebration after the Autobots successfully prevented a supply of energon from reaching the enemy camp. He was too busy getting drunk on energon to really heed Ironhide's security concerns about a suspicious-looking Autobot at the party. The Iron Age 500,000 years ago he fought Decepticons during Metroplex's final stand. Hello Cruel World I Dream of Wires

Roughly 500 years ago, Bluestreak was on Blaster's orbital array during the Decepticons' post-Thunderwing advance, shortly before the planet was abandoned, and fought against their final big push. Spotlight: Blaster

Much later, Bluestreak was in command of the Autobot tactical response unit, seen briefly on the Autobots' orbital command hub. Stormbringer #1 On Varas Centralus, in the Kol System, Bluestreak's unit was joined by the Wreckers during Phase Six. The Wreckers assaulted the Decepticon siege mode armature, but Bluestreak kept his own squad out of the fighting, citing the planet as a lost cause. Springer attempted to talk Bluestreak into attacking the Decepticons with the Wreckers, before Springer's crew were pulled from Varas Centralus to deal with the crisis created by the revival of Thunderwing. The final fate of Varas Centralus is unknown, but probably could be categorized as "not good". Stormbringer #2

Bluestreak later returned to Autobot Orbital Command Hub in order to greet Blaster personally upon his revival. Because he had been present on the orbital array when Blaster was first attacked and went missing centuries ago, however, Bluestreak was one of the Autobots (along with Inferno, Beachcomber and Mirage) suspected of trying to assassinate Blaster. Spotlight: Blaster

After the Surge, Bluestreak was in command of a unit operating on Hydrus 5. One of his subordinates was Flattop. Bullets

Silverstreak was among the Autobots who ended up on Earth following the effects of the Surge. Like several others he grew sick of hiding on the planet and joined Hot Rod when he defected. New Arrivals, Old Encounters Despite this, he was seen with the Autobots who stayed behind, cheering for Bumblebee when he was chosen to lead them. The Hanging Sword Silverstreak helped with the construction of a space cruiser alongside Hot Rod and Swindle's united faction. Seasons in Flight

Like many Autobots, Silverstreak had some difficulties working with the Decepticons. He got suspicious when Swindle and the Stunticons spent so much time working to repair Breakdown, the latest Decepticon they had rescued from Skywatch. Hot Rod (now calling himself "Rodimus") told him to let the old mistrust between the factions go, but Silverstreak proved to have good instincts—Swindle had installed combiner technology in the Stunticons, creating the menace of Menasor which he turned against their new Autobot "comrades". Enemies of the System After Menasor was defeated, Silverstreak chastized Rodimus for failing to predict someone named "Swindle" might be less than trustworthy. As Rodimus fled Earth in Ultra Magnus's shuttle, Silverstreak, Jetfire and the rest of the splinter faction apparently rejoined Bumblebee and the rest of the Autobots. Earthworks

After the Autobot factions reunited, they formed an alliance with Skywatch. When the Combaticons were causing trouble in South Korea, several Autobots were sent to fight them while Silverstreak was left behind in a Skywatch hangar, where he was forced to listen to Brawn complain about not being picked. He decided to give his "unpleasant" comrade some constructive criticism, telling him that nobody likes angry and moping whiners. On the other hand, everybody loves optimists, like for example Silverstreak! Somehow, this didn't improve Brawn's mood any, so Silverstreak went back to drinking with Red Alert. Hawk Among the Sparrows When the Autobots in Korea were faced with the Predacons, Silverstreak was horrified that he couldn't help them, and asked Pennington what a "nightmare" was so that he could properly compare the situation to one. The battle was eventually won, though it led to the secret Autobot-Skywatch alliance getting revealed to the world. Silverstreak and Brawn stood by Bumblebee as he tried to calm the human crowds, but failed to protect him from a human assassin with an energy gun. All My Sins Remembered

Things only went downhill from there. The human riots continued, the energy gun appeared to be none other than Megatron himself, the plane carrying the Korea team home was shot down, and finally the Decepticons returned to Earth and attacked the Skywatch base where Silverstreak and the others were based. The Autobots were incapacitated by Frenzy's sonic attacks and failed to stop the Decepticons from freeing their captured brethren. The Demolished Man Ultra Magnus took command and had the base evacuated, though Silverstreak worried about moving an injured Pennington around. Altered Carbon As they fled towards Omega Supreme, the Autobots were attacked by more angry humans with energy guns (now known to only be replicas of Megatron's alternate mode) and Silverstreak sustained damage to a tire. Then things went downhill again, with Megatron himself showing up in a new, more powerful form and defeating the entire Autobot convoy single-handedly. Woken Furies

The injured Autobots were dumped in Albuquerque to be held hostage by additional armed, paranoid humans. They were saved, but at the cost of Jazz killing one of the humans, which only served to further ruin their reputation amongst humanity. Burning Chrome Silverstreak and Huffer escorted the shell-shocked Jazz away from the ensuing chaos. Full Fathom Five

Some six weeks later, Silverstreak was shocked to learn that Rodimus had returned to Earth with the Matrix of Leadership and several Autobots who were thought dead or long lost, and brought these news to a repaired Bumblebee. After relaxing with Wheelie, he joined the rest of the Autobots in volunteering to return to Cybertron and fight Galvatron. Orphans of the Helix On the way home, Silverstreak listened to Ironhide tell the story about the time he met Alpha Trion. Lamentations On Cybertron, as the battle against Galvatron's Sweeps raged on, he bore witness to Megatron's battle with the monstrous "Deceptigod". Genesis

Once the war was over and Cybertron was restored, Silverstreak tried to sign up for the Lost Light's journey but didn't make it in. Towards Peace Remaining on Cybertron, he was seen wandering around in a crowd of NAILs who had returned home after the war. The Autonomy Lesson Later, he was on patrol in the reclamation tunnels where captured Decepticons worked and guarded Dirge after he witnessed Skydive's murder. Devisive Together with Cliffjumper and Sky Lynx, Silverstreak visited Maccadam's Old Oil House the morning it reopened for business. A Better Tomorrow He apparently really liked the place, as he was still there when Bumblebee came to talk to the bartender, Blurr. Night and the City Later, Silverstreak was present when Megatron's returned from the Cybertronian wilderness. After the Decepticon had been subdued and imprisoned, Streak was on guard duty at the makeshift prison in the city. When Starscream came in for a friendly chat with his former leader, he referred to Streak as "Bluestreak." City on Fire Shortly afterwards, the Decepticons invaded the prison in order to free Megatron. Bluestreak was confident that he, Warpath and Jetfire could defend the place all by themselves, but instead became the first one to fall after taking a shot to the head. The Verge He survived the injury and was safely hidden away from the Decepticons by none other than Swindle. Heavy Is the Head Meanwhile, on the Lost Light, a clip of Bluestreak saying the word "injecting" was used by Rewind in his stitched-together final message to Chromedome. The Gloaming

After recovering, Bluestreak was banished into the wilderness alongside his comrades when Iacon became a neutrals-only city. Dark Dawn He returned after the Necrotitan was taken down, celebrating its defeat at Swerve's alongside Brainstorm. The Becoming As the Lost Light prepared to take off again, Bluestreak made his second attempt to sign up only to be stopped by Swerve, who told him during the "crewditions" that people who looked like Prowl weren't allowed on board. He was then present for Megatron's Luna 2 trial. Towards Peace Swerve was just messing around, though, and Bluestreak was indeed allowed to join the crew, now under the unexpected command of a reformed Megatron. Words Hang in the Air He was seen hanging about Swerve's shortly before takeoff. No Guns, No Swords, No Briefcases Bluestreak was appointed entertainments officer aboard the ship and began regular screenings of Earth movies such as Zulu in Swerve's, though circumstances dictated that he evacuate the ship along with everyone else when the Lost Light literally began to disappear around them. Predestination: A Beginner's Guide

Setting their shuttle down on Ofsted XVII, Bluestreak, Mainframe, Trailcutter and First Aid found an unidentifiable injured Cybertronian. Bluestreak and Mainframe were mostly interested in figuring out which side he was on, though their investigating caused his condition to worsen to the point where he needed an urgent energon infusion. Having discovered a removable, spiked faceplate that pointed towards his being a Decepticon, the two left the room, refusing to donate their energon to help the enemy. First Aid fetched them after the Decepticon revealed himself to be a very ungrateful Vos of the Decepticon Justice Division, but they returned too late to save Trailcutter from being killed by Vos's compatriot Kaon. Births, Deaths, and Interventions The D.J.D. went on to blow up their shuttle, but the three survived and returned to the Lost Light. The Custom-Made Now

As an Earth cultural expert, Bluestreak volunteered to be in the first holomatter avatar rescue squad to "Swearth", a hologram world where Swerve's consciousness was hiding. (Expert Bluestreak assumed "Humanity 101" was a reference to the film "101 Damnations") In a female human guise, Bluestreak discovered their 'base camp's' neighbours were a trio of whacky dudes who got into ker-raaazzy hijinks like settling a dispute with corridor paintball! This, and the recurring oddities like canned laughter and everybody saying jokes but never laughing, indicated to Bluestreak that Swerve had made this world in the image of his beloved sitcoms. Once everyone worked out that Swerve was the three neighbours and that his obsession was down to crippling loneliness and depression, they were able to convince him he was loved. The One Where They Go to Earth

At some point, Bluestreak was approached by Getaway and Atomizer and vouched that he would support them in the event of a mutiny against Megatron, Rodimus and their supporters. When the time came, they had Megatron, Rodimus, and the rest get stranded on the Necroworld, and Bluestreak stood by as Getaway took the Lost Light and sent one final message to their former captains. How Bright Their Frail Deeds However, when it was revealed that the Decepticon Justice Division was on its way to eliminate Rodimus and his group, the crew immediately voiced their disapproval of the plan and Getaway. To maintain control, Getaway would release the mad Sunder, who would alter the memories of Bluestreak and everyone else, making them think that Megatron, Rodimus, and their group left everyone else behind willingly to pursue Cyberutopia quicker for themselves. Filling in the Blanks Later, when First Aid, Mirage and the rest of the Protectobots caught up with the Lost Light, Bluestreak would drink with Hoist and other mutineers at "Visages", explaining their memory-altered version of events to First Aid. Full Circle

The Lost Light travelled through the Warren and arrived at what the crew thought was Cyberutopia, but instead turned out to be Mederi. There, they were attacked by the Grand Architect's forces and to save his own skin, Getaway offered up the crew of the Lost Light to be mutated into Sparkeaters for use as cannon fodder. Lūstrāre Unleashed against Rodimus' group, who were also on Mederi, Bluestreak and the other mutated crewmembers attacked their former friends. Bluestreak was nearly destroyed when a glancing shot from Ratchet hit one of his exposed fuel lines. A Dance Before Dying

Surviving the ordeal and ultimately cured of his affliction, Bluestreak went on the final voyage of the Lost Light, where he and the rest of the crew voted to attempt another quantum duplication on their return to Cybertron. He bartended at Swerve's during the farewell party and was formally introduced to Anode and Lug, apologizing for attempting to kill them as a Sparkeater on Mederi.

Ask Vector Prime

In Primax 085.0 Eta, Silverstreak was selected to be a member of team which was to travel to an alternate universe, designated the 22nd Strata, to find and stop the source of a series of environmental disasters threatening Cybertron. Optimus Prime, Wheeljack, Hoist, Jazz, Prowl, and Silverstreak composed the team; they dubbed themselves Spy Changers because they aimed to achieve their goal with stealth and diplomacy. The Spy Changers modified their bodies to match Strata 22's native cyborgs using data acquired from the Sky Spy and then crossed over. However, they were soon attacked by the local Guardians, who mistakenly presumed them to be Renegades. The Spy Changers were then rescued by the real Renegades, who presumed them to be potential allies and took them back to their flagship, Rogue Star. Renegade leader Cy-Kill attempted to court the Spy Changers as allies, but Optimus saw through Cy-Kill's deception. Eventually, the Autobots formed a secret alliance with the Guardians as well as discovered the cause of Cybertron's troubles: Renegade bases on Moebius were draining the planet's energy. The planet's geometry had turned it into a crude Dimensional Interfacer, and Moebius was tapping into Cybertron to sustain itself. Hoist was able to end the crisis by triggering the bases' remote detonation sequence; in the ensuing battle, the Autobot-Guardian alliance triumphed over the Renegades. Optimus Prime and Leader-1 shook hands, and the Autobots returned to their home reality, secure in the knowledge that they had allies in places as distant as alternate realities. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/09/30

Silverstreak and the Spy Changers pursued Megatron to an alternate reality when he kidnapped Optimus Prime. They battled the Society of Ultimate Villainy while dogging the Decepticons' various raids on human facilities. They eventually learned the Decepticons had upgraded Spy Changer technology to become second generation Go-Bots. Worse still, Optimus Prime had been corrupted into Nemesis Prime by the Brainwave Scanner Megatron had stolen.

Red Alert challenged Prowl's leadership due to these setbacks, and he, Trailbreaker and Silverstreak struck out on their own. They caught up with the Decepticon Go-Bots in Wuhan, China. With the help of Li Shaoshao and the People's Liberation Army Paranormal Taskforce, the Decepticons were defeated. Prowl's team had also beaten other Decepticons in Nevada, leading to the return of Optimus Prime. Silverstreak and the reunited Autobots tracked Megatron to his lair, but the Go-Bot leader leapt through a Reality Bridge and disappeared. The Spy Changers were recruited by a dimensional agent named Thrustinator to pursue Megatron for many further adventures. Renegade Rhetoric (2)

One of Optimus Prime's elite, Bluestreak was left stranded on the dead Cybertron following Thunder Mayhem's apocalyptic attack, filling his days by talking to corpses. Bluestreak was eventually found by Cergo and the Teklaans, the alien robots offering to rebuild his planet, restoring a portion of its surface as proof. As the Teklaans needed Cybertronian samples, Bluestreak lured the Wreckers to Cybertron and turned them over to the aliens for dissection. After conferring with Cergo, Bluestreak tried to convince his fellow Cybertronians of his cause, mentioning the good that the Teklaans had done to Maarin which allowed Fractyl to remember that Teklaan constructs came with "perfect" viruses. When the Wreckers broke free, a skeptical Bluestreak still considered letting the Teklaans finish their work before he learnt that Cergo was planning to recreate Cybertronian viruses. After Cergo had been disabled, the Wreckers incorporated Bluestreak into Wreckage, boosting the combiner's intellect and allowing them to defeat the Teklaans. As Bluestreak, now a Wrecker, left Cybertron with his new team, Impactor told him that his plan to restore Cybertron had been a viable one but only if Thunder Mayhem was defeated. Lively Pursuit

During the Cybertronian civil war, the Decepticons laid waste to the Transformers' home planet. For Bluestreak, this was a tragedy that would forever haunt his memories. As one of the survivors of the destruction, Bluestreak joined the Autobots in their long-lasting warfare to defeat the Decepticons. However, it wasn't easy for this friendly, reticent Transformer to develop into a true warrior.

Notes

Color

The Diaclone Fairlady Z Car Robots release that would become the original Bluestreak toy was available in two different colorations. While neither ended up being used for Bluestreak himself – who instead used a Transformers-original silver deco – both color schemes had lasting influences on the character:

• The Diaclone toy's first color scheme featured the car alternate mode largely in blue, with a silver hood and roof. Photographs of this toy were used in Bluestreak's instruction sheet, as well as the original 1984 toy catalogs,^[3] and its coloration was evident in Bluestreak's box art (in truth, tweaked art held over from the Diaclone release). This consequently led to one of the longest-running myths about Transformers: that a "blue-sided Bluestreak" was available in the original toyline, perhaps as a super rare or foreign market variant. Oddly enough, numerous other Transformers toys from that era were depicted in both catalogs and packaging art with colors they were never released in —Perceptor, Astrotrain, and the Constructicons, for example— yet Bluestreak is the only one to be (mis)remembered in this manner, perhaps because his name is Bluestreak, so he had to have been blue, right? In fact, it was this originally intended color scheme that had inspired Marvel writer Bob Budiansky to coin the name "Bluestreak" in the first place,^[4] although it was originally intended to be spelled in two words, "Blue Streak", according to notes obtained from Bob Budiansky at Iacon One in 2006.^[5] Budiansky then created a characterization that would have made the name a double pun, referencing the phrase "to talk a blue streak", an American English idiom for talking a lot. The spelling of "Blue Streak" as two words was erroneously used for the reprint of Budiansky's full-length bio for Bluestreak in Marvel's Transformers Universe.
• The Diaclone toy's second and less common color scheme was largely silver, with a black hood and roof, and it was this variant that was the basis for Bluestreak's animation model. It would take until 2002 for things to come full circle, when e-HOBBY released a Transformers-branded version of the original Diaclone figure: the first toy of Bluestreak in his cartoon color scheme.

In recent years, as Hasbro and TakaraTomy have tended towards accuracy to Transformers' most prominent pieces of media, the silver-and-black color scheme seems to have "won out" as the primary version of Bluestreak. The blue coloration sees occasional use in toy and media appearances, while his original release's all-silver deco seems to have fallen by the wayside.

Other notes

• The Bluestreak/Prowl head design was used as the basis for the head of Natron, the Autobot Tyco Electric Racing Set car.
• Some comic-reading fans vaguely recollect IDW Publishing editor Andy Schmidt stating circa 2009 that "Bluestreak" and "Silverstreak" were separate characters in IDW continuity à la Megatron and Galvatron, but this statement, if it did happen, has since vanished into the ether of the Internet. Given that this notion was never picked up again, and IDW's then-spotty reputation for maintaining continuity at the time, one's mileage may vary on taking this statement seriously.
