Top 5 Best Bluestreak Transformers Toys


5. Transformers Generations GDO Legends Bluestreak (Silverstreak)

This Legends toy does a great job of capturing the visual cues of the original toy in a nicely updated design. The engineering also pulls a lot of good things from the transformations of previous Datsun toys. Ending up with a nice little design that's a hoot to play with. What makes this version of the mold even more special, is that he was retooled with gripping hands, in which he can hold the awesomely G1 styled blaster that was added to the figure.






4. Siege/Earthrise Bluestreak

The Prowl mold we got in Siege was fine, albeit a little vanilla. It did the job better than any mold before for a classics collection but it seemed to miss a je ne sais quoi. Well whatever Prowl was missing, Bluestreak found it. The paint job here just makes the mold pop! And having those extra two guns makes it feel more complete, especially since they peg into holes found on all versions of this mold. The Earthrise mold was just as good and simply served to give fans an earth mode option. Whichever one you get, both are the new definite Bluestreaks in any classics collection.











3. Transformers G1 1984 Bluestreak/Silverstreak/Streak

An oldie but a goodie. The Datsun mold is one of the pinnacles of the G1 era and a classic look for Autobots with the front of the car becoming the chest. Bluestreak's silver worked very well with the sportscar look.








2. Transformers Alternators Silverstreak (Streak)

Easily one of the better Alternators designs/toys. It was the first mold released and gave us an idea of what the line was about, making toys that could be in a model car collection but that could still transform. It was a precursor to the Masterpiece cars with the idea of what a G1 character would look like if they turned into realistic vehicles, which is an awesome concept. This particular mold retained some of the fun G1 aspects of the transformation along with the overall look when it comes to the chest and legs. That headsculpt is just excellent, at least for the time and it has the great distinction of being the only Hasbro product from that line that was fully painted. Plus, that Suberu Impreza alt mode is really cool and since this is an Alternators toy, you get all the fun that came with the line, like interiors and opening hood and doors. Definitely a highlight of any Bluestreak collection.
















1. Transformers Masterpiece Bluestreak

Not only did the excellent Masterpiece Datsun mold give us Bluestreak in two G1 silver decos but we also got a Blue Bluestreak, which is a dream come true for many Bluestreak fans. And they made that deco count, as you can see from the images below.






Honourable Mention: Takara Transformers Adventures Bloody Knockout

This is more for fun. Nowhere was this toy ever mentioned as Bluestreak but when looking at that deco it is hard not to make a connection. That alt mode deco looks dead on as Bluestreak and it makes Knockout look really good, see for yourself!
