Bluestreak is a direct repaint of Prowl but with the much coveted shoulder cannons that will be included with both Smokescreen and Barricade.
And coming in hot from a reformatting looking like he's been doing some serious push ups and doubling up his chest capacity is the Soundwave retool SoundBlaster!
Will you be picking up the chattiest of the Autobot 'Seekers' to complete the Prowl/Smokesceen/Bluestreak trifecta? Will the shadowy Decepticon with the chest that's better than the rest round out your Siege Decepticon roster?

No brainer, bluestreak and soundblaster? Not so much. Also strange that bluey would be the only Deluxe mold among the lot.
If the 35th anny is a different line, that will spread the Datsun bros across three lines.
Hasbro is the new Twizzlers...
side note but one of the few things I brought back from my trip to the US is something I had never seen before:
If any one s curious it tastes EXACTLY like what it says, it's just hard to imagine.

Well, I've never heard of those before! The one thing you won't find here is chocolate with toys in it. I always get kinder eggs when I'm traveling aboard. Then accidentally eat the toy and choke, the fucking FDA was rightwilliam-james88 wrote:side note but one of the few things I brought back from my trip to the US is something I had never seen before:

Kinder found a way around it though for the US, I saw these at US Walmarts:

By the way, I am not too worried about getting this toy. I will wait it out, as I usually have. It being online exclusive and also being still a mass produced toy means there will be quite a bit to go around, we just dont know how long to wait till we know the best channels of purchase for all.
Posted by no-one on July 10th, 2019 @ 1:17pm CDT
Well that's easy for us North Americans to say. I'll just wait for Pulse and click the pre-order button and get free shipping.william-james88 wrote:By the way, I am not too worried about getting this toy. I will wait it out, as I usually have.

I will say that I skipped Elita at first until it was rumored that a full lady biner team would be released. I'm very excited to finish up the team. Would be cool if Hasbro went the CW route and released a legends class figure to go with them. I guess one of the non-combining Chromias will fill that support role.

Dogfight was available, and was glad to join the team

Pro-tip, bite off each end and use it as a straw for some milk and you'll get a slightly chocolaty milk.
Even more pro-tip, do NOT try that with orange juice...

Soundblaster, meanwhile, is a much more recognized alternate color scheme for Soundwave these days, with appeal on both across the Pacific and across the pond, and precedent in US toylines since Animated. And, in this case, comes with the spiffy "Hold two cassettes" feature.

Sir, please step away from Strada's remains with that stick.

One of the original sound cards for PC back in the day, along with AdLib and Gravis Ultrasound. And it's not a trademark violation because that falls in a different category.

Thanks Jelze, it would be weird to see them try to sue in that case.

We also have new and clear images of Transformers 35th Anniversary Bluestreak including the back of the box which shows him as WFC-S64. So there's your missing numbers for you! The images came from Ladypapa on e-bay who, while an e-bay seller, does get their products and images directly from Hasbro. This toy being available now on e-bay may hint that these 35th anniversary toys could be made available once they are revealed at SDCC next week. Or not, who knows.

Bluestreak just keeps looking better and better; dem painted wheels.
Posted by Stargrave on July 11th, 2019 @ 9:16am CDT
Bluestreak’s vehicle mode I think looks the best out of the three AutoSeeker bros I mean that grey just totally works for me. Dang can’t wait to get these guys.

Autoseekers? How about Seekars? Or more obviously, Seecars?
Eh, I like Praxians

Mirage still looks great, and he has a cool transformation.

Oooo Praxians I like that!
Yeah Will and I were trying to hammer that out at one point I think we got as far as Movars or Rovars hahaha Nono not that bad but I dunno it’s growing on me they’re the wing-backed counters to the Seekers and always have been.

I mean, we have the Datsun trio, and Barricade, but then what?
I guess you could make one of these:
Just call him Covert Agent or something like that like G2 Sideswipe so we can "differentiate" the characters.
I was thinking of a yellow, brown, and silver redeco of Prowl to homage Beast Wars Prowl.
Maybe Autotroopers? Although I wouldn't mind some of those from the Siege Ironhide mold

I could see a Diaclone blue Bluestreak being a cool Selects release, but more likely a Taraka special. I know a few people who'd be down for that. I'm going get the main three Datbros and call it a day though. Skipping Barricade, until he gets his own Generations body. Not that I have a problem with the Seige version as I think it's quite the attractive deco, but I only need three of this mold. and three Refraktors and three Siege Seekers
I avoided Silverstreak because he is much too similar to "Bluestreak".

Ah you beat me to my edit. I noticed after I quoted, cut and posted that I cannot read. I missed the yellow and brown bits like a doof.

I do think you're right about changing the name though. It'd match G2Swipe and be very "on brand".

Honestly, I think thats enough. Too many redecos is no fun for most fans.

No at all in my opinion. Either next to the driver's cockpit or mounted on the sides of the vehicle.
I go for a more realistic view, that the guns could rise up from the body of the car mode, like the 1989 Tim burton batmobile.
2 guns lopsided hanging from a spoiler?! Cmon bro

But your point is valid.
