Small correction there buddyBronzewolf wrote:especially interesting because it shows that at some point in the production stage, Bluestreak was intended to have his Diaclone Blue color scheme. As opposed to the silver and black color scheme, which he ended up with in both toy and cartoon form.
The G1 release of Bluestreak never came in the colors of silver and black...... The car mode was all silver
It wasn’t until they started doing G1 reissues in anime colors that he was finally released in silver and black
By the way fantastic find

Bluestreak was originally supposed to be blue, hence the name

He was actually given the name from an old saying which was supposed to be a reference to talking with great speed and intensity hence the old term “talking a blue streak “
I guess depending on how early in production this may have been that could be designs intended for frenzy not rumble, remember even the Bible for the transformer series had rumble listed as the red oneVa'al wrote:The images below show not only a colour test for Decepticon cassette Rumble (sic), but also two preliminary sketches for what will eventually become the Panini sticker album covers, too!

Not to beat a dead horse, but are you at least going to entertain the possibility that the blue one was originally planned for US release given the art and the blue one appearing in catalogs, a bio was built around it making it a clever play on words (something the line did on a regular basis), but for whatever reason the colors were changed to all silver later? Takara was only just starting deals with Hasbro, so there may have been a few... kinks here and there.

Anyways I love seeing concept art, I don't know why I just find it so cool.
I have always found it odd though that Bluestreak's colors were changed, not just because of the name, but the fact that those were the original Diaclone colors, but I guess Sunstreaker's colors were also changed (among others) so maybe it is not that odd. But he did appear in the catalog with the Diaclone colors, so it still makes it sorta strange they were changed.

This time, the auctions up on eBay feature the likes of Hound, Brawn, Sunstreaker, Ironhide, Cliffjumper, the inside and outside of the Ark as it crashed on Earth, the oil rig from the first episode in the series, the Cybertron terminal, and a lovely cel print of Cybertron itself, in its lineart glory.
Not included in the auctions, as James will be keeping it for himself, is a concept piece for Cliffjumper, as explained below:
Here I present a never-before-seen concept illustration (circa 1983) of the Autobot CLIFFJUMPER by Marvel Productions! - Included in the huge batch of Marvel Productions' Transformers artwork I acquired were a bunch of concept illustrations which appear to be the EARLIEST renditions of certain characters - These illustrations were definitely created in-house at Marvel Productions, and were definitely based on the toys - HOWEVER, it would appear that the artist was taking HUGE liberties with their robot forms - Those I've shown these illustrations to agree that it's quite possible that they relate to the shelved pilot-script that Jeffry Scott wrote titled "A Robot's Best Friend Is His Dog"
