Seibertron.com board admin Burn has pointed us towards Australia-based fellow fansite Ozformers, where regular reliable source griffin has posted an interesting report from their latest dealings with Hasbro. It appears that two new Masterpiece figures will be showing up at general retail very soon: along with Takara import MP-24 Star Saber, Hasbro MP-06 Bluestreak (confirming its existence, number and general greyness) should be arriving by late April/May! Read more here or below.
Some new info emailed to me from Hasbro Australia. (thankyou to them of course )
We know that the imported Lost Age Stinger toy is supposed to be in ToysRUs stores this month, but two other toys have now been confirmed for release here within the next couple weeks, as they have recently arrived at the Hasbro Australia warehouse and are on their way to the TRU warehouse.
TakaraTomy MP-24 Starsaber - the next of the HK imports.
Hasbro MP-06 Bluestreak - the first of the three known American Masterpiece toys for 2015. (the other two being Sideswipe and Starscream)
It also is the first official confirmation of the MP number for Hasbro's Bluestreak.
Starsaber was something we've been expecting here for a little while, and it has been noted by Hasbro that the October release date at ToysRUs is an error in their system, as Hasbro are not intending to sit on this stock for 6 months now that it is in the country.
It was also noted that the "Sunstreak" was meant to be the Hasbro Bluestreak... but somehow ToysRUS got the name, the MP number, AND the date wrong.
Although, to be fair to TRU... their release date of May 16th is close enough of an estimated release date, to the "next couple of weeks" estimate from Hasbro.
(I asked Hasbro Australia about both, just to clarify the confusion that TRU had caused us.)
For anyone wondering, the Hasbro version of Bluestreak looks to be the same grey/black colours of the Japanese version, in the standard (big) Hasbro red box.
I just want to say, that it is surprisingly unusual to have the Hasbro Bluestreak come out here before it has even shown up as a pre-order at online stores, or even before samples have shown up on ebay.... which was why I wanted to verify it before posting it. (I was actually told last Thursday)

Slightly misleading to have a picture of the blue / silver MP-18B Bluestreak added to the news article about Hasbro's MP-06 (silver / black) Bluestreak confirmed for Australia, isn't it?
Conversely, perhaps this news should deserve its own topic instead of linked through this MP-18B topic.

Sorry for the off-topicness.
If HasTak had just released Bluestreak/Streak in blue back in the first place, it wouldn't be so bad
Yes I know, Diaclone. Still, pictures on my "Silver"Bluestreak manual show a BLUE Datsun. Life would've been easier with the blue and then animation color. Oh well, more figures for all of us to buy/want

And here I was thinking I might be able to get blue Bluestreak for cheaper. Really is a misleading image.

A new listing at TakaraTomy Mall gives us some new shots of Masterpiece MP-18B Bluestreak! As many probably know now this fella is a beautiful homage to his Diaclone heritage and the BLUEstreak that never was. They show him off from all angles, with his Datsun brethren, and the now standard "Convoy trailer shot". Keep scrolling to see the pics and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your Transformers News!

Ya know the Nissan Altima is basically a 4 door version of this car. I wonder if it comes in this color scheme.

Actually the Nissan z350 IS the newest evolution of that car.
These colors are pretty close.
Edit: Never got why they gave it to Alternity Megatron and none of the Datsun brothers.

That's a two door car. The 4 door version is the Altima, I know because I drove one. There's no way I'd be able to fit in a 2 door car.

What always got me was that people always bitched about the G1 toy being silver, except for the very brief original run with him being blue and silver, when in all reality, his name has absolutely nothing to do with his color and everything to do with his personality. Does the phrase "Talking up a blue-streak" mean anything to anyone or am I just so damn old that I'm the only one that knows that that is where his name really comes from?
You don't hear anyone complaining about Silverbolts name, do you? There's not a lick of silver on him. Why is that?
Sorry but this is just one debate that always pissed me off and just further proved to me how blatantly ignorant and stupid so many folks in the fandom can be.
All complaining aside, this is one beautifully done MP. It's just a shame that we didn't get this one sooner but hey, at least we finally have it and they have done an amazing job on it.

This belief doesn't make me ignorant or stupid. So again, you can state your thoughts without making blanket statements like that. Many people share your view on the whole "Bluestreak" debate and I didn't say anything like that when their opinion differed mine.
And FYI: HasTak never released him in blue. It's a common misconception.
Posted by shajaki on April 15th, 2015 @ 8:53pm CDT
It has been discussed many times, even in this thread already. Personally I believe it has nothing to do with the literal definition of bluestreak. Point out one instance where he talked "a bluestreak" in the cartoon or Marvel comics, because it's a character trait he doesn't have.CrankyOldTruck wrote:What always got me was that people always bitched about the G1 toy being silver, except for the very brief original run with him being blue and silver, when in all reality, his name has absolutely nothing to do with his color and everything to do with his personality.

Also, correction sir, the 370Z is the latest version of the famed Z cars. They even made it shorter and lighter than the 350Z!
Also, if anyone is looking for the 4 door version of a Z, look to the Infiniti Q40 (formerly the G37/G35) in the U.S. not the Altima (or even Maxima, the fabled "4DSC"). Same layout, front engine-rear wheel drive (or all-wheel if you'd like, which isn't available on the Z).
I really can't wait for this version of Bluestreak. Blue is awesome.

Well I stand happily corrected.
Just had to look it up.
That baby looks even more akin to it's early 80's predecessor. And this one would make a sweeta$$ Bluestreak!
I was in LA (the land of cars) this past weekend. I was eating dinner with a group of friends, and in mid sentence, when a silver 84' or 5' Datsun Z rolled by. I stopped, head popped up and followed. Everyone laughed that that car got my attention. They laughed even harder when I told them It's my favorite transformer.
I'm really excited for 18B. Really!

There was a game a few years ago called Tokyo Xtreme Racer (still have it for Dreamcast) and you could build one of those Datsuns (the last 'boss' drove one). Mine was gunmetal and black. Aww yeah.
Posted by galvatron00 on April 15th, 2015 @ 10:05pm CDT
I thought you would, they really have tried to take cues from those 80's versions! You can really tell with the rear quarter windows. And the body lines. And the shortened rear/front overhangs. It's good stuff to be a car fan nowadays.Cobotron wrote:Well I stand happily corrected.

I really don't want to step in something here, but..his original tech spec says exactly that- he talks a blue streak to keep his mind off of the fact that the Decepticons destroyed his home. It's right there, in print, and pre dates marvel and sunbow. They chose to have him as a minor background character, but he should have had diarrhea of the mouth.

There you have it. Should have. Based on a bio that holds little ground for the popular media that drove the franchise.

Problem with disagreeing is, he doesn't have much of a personality beyond "Such senseless violence" from Transcontinental express".
I'm pretty sure he talked excessively in issues 4 and issues 10-11 of the Marvel series (written by bio/character creator Bob Budiansky) for other examples.
Also, Transformers Universe made mention of his Disperser rifle firing a devastingly powerful but somewhat inaccurate blue beam.
So there's that.

I remember in #3 of the Limited series when Gears thought to himself how Spiderman reminded him of Bluestreak. And we all know how blabbermouth Spidey is......

In all the fiction I've seen and read, the one that stands out as having given the spotlight to Bluestreak more than any other fiction has was the much-reviled Transformers Trilogy novels (A.K.A. the "Keepers Trilogy") written by Scott Ciencin and David Cian, in which he was portrayed not as a yammering blabbermouth, but instead as a tortured soul with a heavy chip on his shoulder after his having been killed in combat by Jazz (the two were forced to fight each other to the death lest some innocent humans be killed in cold blood, and Bluestreak was willing to let Jazz be the victor to prevent further human killings), and then having his corpse being reanimated and possessed by a Keeper as its new host body. He got his life back later, but the possession left him as an unwilling sleeper agent of the Keepers until they were finally destroyed, freeing him completely in the end, but not without having endured so much misery and torment through it all.

According to TakaraTomyMall the release date for MP-18B Blue Streak has been delayed from August 1 to September 29! Stranger still the website has Blue Streak's release date at August 29th. Rather it's 8/29 or 9/29 it's a slight delay and will be here soon enough! While you wait why not check out Seibertron.com's gallery of the original release of Masterpiece Bluestreak MP-18 here.
