'''Black repaint''' is a fan-coined term referring to a mostly dark-colored [[redeco]] of a [[toy]], usually featuring black as its primary color. The term is usually inaccurate, as the toys are almost never actually [[Repaint|repaints]], but the name has stuck.

Black repaints are a comparatively common type of redeco; in particular, almost (but not quite) every [[Optimus Prime (disambiguation)|Optimus Prime]] toy has been produced in a black repaint color scheme at least once. As with most aspects of Transformers, fandom opinion on black repaints is split: some like them, some denounce them as bland and/or uncreative, and some don't think of them as being any different from other redecoes.

A black repaint does not necessarily have to be mostly black. ''[[Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' [[Nemesis Prime (Armada)|Nemesis Prime]], for instance, is dark blue.

Though not exclusive to these kinds of redecos, black repaints are most commonly the standard method of releasing an "evil counterpart" to an existing Transformer. A close followup is a "stealth mode" version to an existing character.

Some particularly well-known black repaints include:

* [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]], the black ''[[seeker]]'' jet and the first official Transformers black redeco.
* Soundblaster, the rebuilt form of [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]], which has been homaged in many lines since.
* ''[[Robots in Disguise (franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Scourge (RID)|Scourge]], one of the few black repaints that represent a main show character, also the inspiration for many Optimus Prime based black repaints.
* ''[[Alternators]]'' [[Nemesis Prime (G1)|Nemesis Prime]], infamous for starting out as a nearly unobtainable exclusive surrounded by various problems with [[Hasbro Toy Shop]], then seeing a wide release in Australia.

Redline

:''Redline is a [[Mini-Con]] from the [[Armada (franchise)|Armada]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Redline-Power.jpg|right|250px|thumb|WE ARE THE PRINCES OF THE UNIVERSE...]]
Safety officer for the Mini-Con starship ''[[Exodus]]'', '''Redline''' is selfless in his goal of bringing the Mini-Con race to peace. He's technically brilliant and incredibly brave in battle despite his hatred of violence. But he also tends to put himself in far more danger than he needs to in order to spare others, when they're just as willing to take the risks. Sometimes he needs reminding that he can't save ''everyone'' and can't do it all by himself.

He and [[Falcia]] have had a long-standing [[Female Transformers|clash of opinion]] about how to achieve Mini-Con independence. Redline wants to go it alone and find their own way, while Falcia is all for joining with the [[Autobot|Autobots]] and wiping out the [[Decepticon|Decepticons]]. The two have butted heads over this for a long, long time. Totally a ''Moonlighting'' thing.

He's also seen by [[Twirl]] as a father (not a father figure, literally a father), and of all the Mini-Cons, he is perhaps the one to whom [[Stella Holley]] is closest.

Man, he gets ''all'' the chicks.

==Fiction==
===Micron Legends: Linkage mini-comics===
Redline and his teammates ejected from the crashing ''[[Exodus]]'' in an escape pod that landed in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Washington. They lay dormant for centuries until the Mini-Cons were reactivated due to the actions of [[Rad White]] and [[Carlos Lopez]]. Upon reactivation, the trio crawled onto the shore and took new alternate forms suited to the environment. They were suddenly pursued by a pair of [[Fixer Bug]]s and escaped into a parking garage.

*'''Super Stunt Team Micron''' (DVD pack-in, 2003)

: A [[redeco]] of the [[Street Speed Mini-Con Team]] member [[Backtrack (Armada)|Backtrack]], Redline transforms into a Cadillac XLR luxury car. He was only available with limited-edition copies of the first ''Micron Legend'' DVD, in a three-pack with his teammates [[Flat-Out]] and [[Servo]].

: This mold was also used to make ''Armada'' [[Side Burn (Armada)|Side Burn]] and [[Dice]]. It was planned to be used for ''[[Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' [[Override (Energon)|Override]] and packed with [[Ultra Magnus (Energon)|Ultra Magnus]], but that release was changed late in the production run and given a different Mini-Con Team.

==Trivia==
* ''Micron Legend'' Volume 1 was the only DVD in the series to come with an entire Mini-Con Team; the rest only had a single Mini-Con per volume.

* Redline's coloration was going to be applied to the unreleased ''Energon'' Mini-Con [[Brakedown (Energon)|Brakedown]]. That whole team was a "one-off" of the Super Stunt Team, shuffling the colors from each member onto different molds.

Cain

190.160.20.68: /* Notes */ Changed DBZ joke with Saint Seiya joke.

{{disambig2|the little boy from Zone|the little boy from Headmasters|Kane}}
:''Cain is an [[alien]] from the [[Zone (franchise)|Zone]] portion of the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Zone cain.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Shops in the same store Kicker gets all his clothes from.]]
'''Cain''' (カイン ''Kain'') is a former resident of the planet [[Feminia]]. He is not a girl. After the [[Nine Great Demon Generals]] destroyed his homeworld, he moved to planet [[Zone (planet)|Zone]] to live and work with the [[Autobot|Autobots]]. He is best friends with an [[Earth]] boy named [[Akira Serikawa|Akira]] and has a talking pet bunny-bird named [[Emusa]].

==Fiction==
===''Zone'' OVA, manga and story pages===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Eiko Yamada]] (Japanese)

By god, what horror. A poor boy, whose home has been lost. His people, his very world, devastated by the Decepticons. It is only thanks to his friendship with the Autobots that he could possibly find joy.

Cain, rescued by [[Star Saber (G1)|Victory Saber]], and transported in [[Galaxy Shuttle]], found himself on Zone, surrounded by technology and robots. Not that he minded, even if his pet [[Emusa|rabbit-thingie]] did. This, it turned out, was still no safe haven. When the Decepticons attacked Zone, Cain was forced to leave that planet, joining the Autobots in pursuit of the Decepticons.

This took them to the planet Earth where Cain met a new friend, a young boy named Akira. He helped the Autobots to rescue Akira, and when the fighting was over admired the... beautiful scenery. What a wonderful world Earth was—almost as beautiful as Cain's lost home. {{storylink|Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!|Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!}} {{storylink|Zone (manga)|Transformers: Zone}}

{{note|The single'' Zone ''manga story was basically a shortened retelling of the OAV episode, but came out three months before it did.}}

[[Image:Zone12FinalPage.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Well then.]]

Later, Cain, Akira and Emusa were present on the Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]] when [[Metrotitan (G1)|Metrotitan]] attacked the "Zone City" stationed there in defense of the planet. As Metrotitan obliterated both the base and [[Galaxy Shuttle]], the three escaped the destruction in [[Rabbicrater]]. {{storylink|Zone (story page)|''Zone'' story page #8}}

Returning to Earth, the three felt the effects of Metrotitan's new weapon, the "Freeze Beam Gun". [[Roadfire]] made short work of Metrotitan, ending this threat. {{storylink|Zone (story page)|''Zone'' story page #9}}

[[Violen Jiger]] himself then came to Earth, intent on stealing the Zodiac. He plowed through the Powered Masters to grab the Galaxy Rocket, both obtaining the Zodiac and abducting Emusa, Cain, Akira and Moonradar in the process. {{storylink|Zone (story page)|''Zone'' story page #10}}

The Powered Masters followed Violen Jiger to the mysterious "Tenth Planet", where Violen Jiger split into three insect monsters. Roadfire defended the Galaxy Rocket from Lenja, saving the captives inside. {{storylink|Zone (story page)|''Zone'' story page #11}}

After the Powered Masters defeated Violen Jiger's final form with their Zodiac-fueled Rainbow Powered Attack (... no, really), sunlight returned to the Tenth Planet. The Zodiac rainbow remained in the sky, causing the world to sprout greenery and flowers. Though Cain, Akira, Emusa and the Transformers all came from different worlds, they realized they'd need all their strength and each other's help to make this new world a peaceful one. As Cain and Akira ran through a field of flowers together, holding each other's hands, Emusa placed one in Akira's hair. {{storylink|Zone (story page)|''Zone'' story page #12}}

==Notes==
[[Image:Earlycainakiraemusa.jpg|right|180px|thumb|Athena! feel the power of my cosmos!.]]
* Cain's name is written with the katakana used to render the name of the biblical Cain, hence the spelling used on this wiki.
* It is strongly implied that Cain and Akira are romantically attracted to one another. So yes, that would make them gay.
* Cain and his ''Zone'' chums went through some notable redesigning before they made it to the small screen. As illustrated at right, Cain was originally golden-haired and had a scarf. Also, dressed like [[wikipedia:Pegasus Seiya|Pegasus Seiya]].

Bluestreak (G1)

2009-10-04T16:53:57Z

{{factions|autobot}}
:''Bluestreak is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]]. He is also known as '''Silverstreak'''.''

[[Image:G1 Bluestreak boxart.jpg|right|300px|thumb|I'm f***ing PONDEROUS, man. PONDEROUS, f***in' PONDEROUS.]]
'''Bluestreak''' 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 [[Great War (G1)|war]], Bluestreak's home city was totally destroyed by [[Decepticon]]s. 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 (G1)|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 Comics continuity===
{{noteukonly}}
[[Image:Bluestreakandthereshallcome.jpg|left|150px|thumb|"The War Within" forgot about this design... thankfully!]]
''Millions of years ago on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Bluestreak was escorted by [[Fusion (Autobot)|Fusion]] on a mission to deliver shatter bombs to the Autobot military commander [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|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. {{storylink|And There Shall Come...a Leader!}}''

[[Image:Miragebluestreakfirst.jpg|right|250px|thumb|You can taste his sarcasm. To be fair, nobody likes Mirage.]]
Bluestreak arrived on [[Earth]] with his fellow Autobots four million years ago and remained inactive until 1984. Along with [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]] and [[Huffer (G1)|Huffer]], Bluestreak was one of the less sympathetic of the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'s crew when it came to humans. {{storylink|The Transformers (issue)|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 (G1)|Thundercracker]] out of the sky with '''one shot'''. Don't mess.'' {{storylink|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 [[Chambers 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 (G1)|Megatron]] himself, head-on. Despite their temporary victory, the battle-weary Autobots were blindsided by the returning Decepticon [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]], who knocked them all down with a single blast. {{storylink|The Last Stand}}

Bluestreak was next seen being hung from the ceiling of the ''Ark'', prepared by Shockwave to be used as spare parts for the next generation of Decepticons. {{storylink|The New Order}} [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]], the only surviving Autobot, managed to re-secure the ''Ark'', and Bluestreak was subsequently rebuilt. {{storylink|DIS-Integrated Circuits!}}

[[Image:Bumblebeebluestreakbrainstorm.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Will talk without end for forever about nothing at all, yet doesn't mention that Prowl is speaking from Ratchet's body.]] Ratchet was able to rebuild Bluestreak and the others after he retook the ''Ark'', with help from the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]]. {{storylink|DIS-Integrated Circuits!}} During a mission to stop [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] from broadcasting a transmission to their Decepticon brethren back on Cybertron, Bluestreak was one of the first Autobots to confront the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]]. This effort almost ended badly when the Constructicons revealed they could merge into the mighty [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], but Bluestreak and the others were saved by Huffer and the human trucker [[Bomber Bill]]. {{storylink|The Next Best Thing to Being There!}} It soon became apparent to the Autobots that [[Buster Witwicky (G1)|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 (G1)|Bumblebee]] were assigned to guard him. Bluestreak's embarrassing line of questioning about what [[Kiss|kissing]] entailed was interrupted when he and Bumblebee were assaulted by the Decepticon prototype warrior [[Jetfire (G1)|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. {{storylink|Brainstorm!}}

[[Image:Newyorkunderbase.jpg|right|150px|thumb|And the rest... is silence.]]
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 (G1)|Mirage]] assisted with the [[Rite of the Autobrand]] on Jetfire, whom Optimus Prime had recently given life. {{storylink|Rock and Roll-Out!}}

''During the Dinobot Hunt, Bluestreak was sent with [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] and [[Huffer (G1)|Huffer]] to [[Doonstown]] to capture the berserk [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]], but they were surprised to find Grimlock locked in battle with [[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]]. Bluestreak was the first member of the team down, deactivated by the crazed Dinobots before he had a chance to react. {{storylink|Dinobot Hunt!}}''

During Grimlock's command, Bluestreak watched Grimlock fight [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]] for Autobot leadership. Bluestreak left the ''Ark'' to cheer beside the other Autobots. {{storylink|Totaled!}} He battled the [[Underbase]]-empowered [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] in [[New York City]], but not before some choice words. Starscream noted that Bluestreak spoke "freely, but foolishly," and ended his life, and others', with little effort. {{storylink|Dark Star (issue)|Dark Star}}

:''Voice Actor:'' [[Casey Kasem]] (English), [[Kōki Kataoka]] (Japanese) [[Katsumi Suzuki]] ("Attack of the Autobots" and "Day of the Machines" only)

[[Image:Bluestreakg1.jpg|right|150px|thumb|You get the feeling Blurr trained under this guy at some point.]]
Bluestreak was one of the original crew members of the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'' when it set off from Cybertron in search of new sources of fuel and energy. Attacked en route by the Decepticon flagship ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]'', the Ark crashed into a volcano, and the Autobots lay dormant for millions of years. When the volcano erupted and activated [[Teletraan I (G1)|Teletraan I]] in 1984, Bluestreak was reformatted into a Datsun 280Z. Shortly after Hound and [[Cliffjumper (G1)|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. {{storylink|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]]. {{storylink|More than Meets the Eye, Part 2}}. Then, when the Decepticons managed to extricate themselves from the mine explosion, Bluestreak and [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] took to the air and engaged in a dogfight with [[Skywarp (G1)|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. {{storylink|More than Meets the Eye, Part 3}}

[[Image:G1 Prowl Bluestreak Rollforit.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Prowl always dreads the family reunions.]]
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 (G1)|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. {{storylink|Roll for It}}

Bluestreak accompanied Ironhide, [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], and [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailbreaker]] to Cybertron to get a [[cosmotron]] for the dying [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]]. He was attacked by the [[Rainmaker]]s' [[acid rain]] just outside of [[Wheeljack's shop]] and was nearly deactivated. Once given a pep talk by [[Chip Chase]], he shot down the Rainmakers, enabling the Autobots to get the cosmotron. {{storylink|Divide and Conquer}} Bluestreak was present during the
unveiling of the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] and responded in awe. Later on, he was with the Autobots during the Decepticon ambush at the [[Great Falls]]. He shot at [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]], but was unable to hit. Defeated, the Autobots were all tied up by the Decepticons. [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] used Bluestreak's bolt gun to give the Autobots an instant recharge {{storylink|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 [[Jetfire (G1)|Skyfire]] could see Wheeljack. {{storylink|Fire in the Sky}} When the New Dinobots were created, Bluestreak was one of the Autobots selected for a mock battle against [[Snarl (G1)|Snarl]] and [[Swoop (G1)|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. {{storylink|War of the Dinobots}}

Bluestreak's skill as a gunner was frequently employed in combat. On one occasion, [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] was trying to fly off with [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]], and Bluestreak was able to target and shoot one of the tin turkey's legs without hitting Spike to free him. {{storylink|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. {{storylink|The Ultimate Doom, Part 3}} He was present with the rest of Autobots during the staged battle between Optimus Prime and [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]. {{storylink|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. {{storylink|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. {{storylink|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. {{storylink|City of Steel}}

Bluestreak was a victim of Megatron's [[personality destabilizer]] 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 (G1)|Jazz]]. After regaining conscienceness, he was the first to be brought back using Sparkplug's new invention, the [[attitude exchanger]]. Afterward, he accompanied Jazz and Sparkplug to get return the other Autobots to normal. When they needed to get Skyfire's attention, Bluestreak fired at him with the results they wanted. {{storylink|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. {{storylink|Traitor}} Bluestreak was the second Autobot to be hit by the Immobilizer when the Autobots went to retrieve it. {{storylink|The Immobilizer}}

Bluestreak participated in the Autobot race for charity. He was hit by the [[Transfixatron]], rendering him unable to transform. Then [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] and [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]] disabled him. He was later one of the first to be restored by the [[Anti-Transfixation Grenade]]. {{storylink|The Autobot Run}} Bluestreak assisted with the Autobot attempt to recapture the irreplaceable robot ninja [[Nightbird (G1)|Nightbird]] for the famous scientist [[Doctor Fujiyama 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. {{storylink|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. {{storylink|A Prime Problem}} He was part of the attack against the Decetpicons to try to get [[Devastator (G1)|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. {{storylink|The Core}} Bluestreak suddenly appeared in the group of Autobots that attacked the Decepticons in South America. {{storylink|Microbots}} Bluestreak was present when Optimus Prime thanked Spike, Carley, and the Dinobots for what they did for the Autobots. {{storylink|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]]. {{storylink|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 {{storylink|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. {{storylink|Kremzeek!}}

Bluestreak entered [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]]'s zone defense around the football stadium, but was severely damaged and built into a throne by [[Scrapper (G1)|Scrapper]]. {{storylink|Triple Takeover}} When the Decepticons took control of the [[Key to Vector Sigma]], Bluestreak left the base when the Autobots left to attack them. {{storylink|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 (G1)|Auggie Cahnay]] cut across [[Bumblebee (G1)|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 [[Stunticon]]s, Bluestreak learned of [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s plan for the [[Pearl of Bahoudin]] from [[Professor Teranova|Professor Terranova]] 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 (G1)|Tracks]] and Bumblebee headed out to confront the Decepticons, but when the Pearl was lost in a tornado, Megatron unleashed [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] onto the Autobots. Ironically, it was Cahnay who defeated Menasor by sacrificing his car, much to the Bluestreak's surprise. {{storylink|Trans-Europe Express}} Bluestreak was at the Autobot base after the [[Stunticon]]s were captured by the other Autobots. {{storylink|Masquerade}}

In the year 2005, Bluestreak helped [[Kup (G1)|Kup]] move a roadblock on [[Lookout Mountain]], just before [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] and [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]] crashed through it. His subsequent fate is unknown, as he and Huffer were never seen making it back to Autobot City. Seeing as Huffer was confirmed dead in [[Dark Awakening]], it is possible Bluestreak died too.{{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}

{{note|The noticeable lack of shoulder cannons means the [[Character model|animation model]] used for Bluestreak's brief appearance in Transformers: The Movie was actually Prowl's.}}

====Binaltech====
Suffering from the [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|Cosmic Rust]] virus, Bluestreak was one of the first Autobots reconstructed using [[Binaltech]] technology. Alongside [[Smokescreen (G1)|Smokescreen]], [[Hound (G1)|Hound]], [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]], and [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]], he helped [[Earth Defense Command]] drive the Decepticons off of Earth. Bluestreak continued serving on Earth at Autobot City, under [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]]'s overall command.

{{note|from the [[Keepers Trilogy]] novels are in italics.}}
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 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. {{storylink|Hardwired}}'' Originally a merchant, Bluestreak then joined the Autobot army. 500,000 years later, he related [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]]'s death to [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optronix]], and later served in the last-ditch attempt to defend [[Iacon]] from [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]'s forces. {{storylink|The War Within}}

7.4 million years ago, Bluestreak remained with the Autobot faction after the apparent death of Optimus Prime. He and [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailbreaker]] remained at [[Autobase (G1)|Autobase]] while [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] led a task force against [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]. While there, they met [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] and apprised him of the current situation on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. {{storylink|War Within: The Dark Ages|The War Within: The Dark Ages}} 1.4 million years later, Bluestreak and an Autobot/Decepticon/[[Ultracon]] force helped defend a peace ceremony at [[Tyger Pax]] from the [[Predacon (War Within)|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. {{storylink|War Within: The Age of Wrath|The War Within: The Age of Wrath}}

Bluestreak was among the crew of the ''[[Ark (G1)|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 (G1)|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. {{storylink|Prime Directive}}

''Bluestreak recovered, however, and rejoined his newly active comrades. He was with Optimus Prime and [[Jazz (G1)|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 [[Keeper (species)|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. {{storylink|Hardwired}}''

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 (G1)|Gears]], who did not see the point in fighting wars that had been ended. {{storylink|New World Order}} Despite his objections, Bluestreak was among the Autobots who joined Optimus Prime in surrendering to Shockwave's lieutenant, [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]]. {{storylink|Brothers' Burden}} Ferried back to Cybertron by [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]], Bluestreak and the others were imprisoned and scheduled for execution, but were freed by [[Broadside (G1)|Broadside]] and taken to an underground hideout. {{storylink|Cold War}} He fought in the battle to retake Iacon and witnessed Shockwave activating the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. Victorious, Bluestreak and his comrades began to rebuild their planet. {{storylink|Revelation (War and Peace)|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. {{storylink|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 (G1)|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. {{storylink|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. {{storylink|Lost and Found (issue)|Lost and Found}}

===Devil's Due ''G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers'' comics===
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 (G1)|Wheeljack]]'s tampering. Joining Prowl, [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailbreaker]] and [[Gears (G1)|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. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers issue 5}} Bluestreak was later seen fighting Decepticon [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]] in the sky when the [[SPS Satellite]] went out of control and started firing at [[Cobra Island]] randomly. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers issue 6}}

=== IDW comics continuity ===
Early in the war with the Decepticons, Bluestreak was part of an extraction team led by Ironhide that retrieved a damaged Jazz and Tracks following their skirmish with the Predacons. {{storylink|Spotlight: Jazz}}

Bluestreak was on Cybertron during the Decepticons' post-[[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]] advance, shortly before the planet was abandoned, and fought against their final big push. {{storylink|Spotlight: Blaster}}

Much later, Bluestreak was in command of the Autobot infiltration team on [[Varas Centralus]] in the Kol system. The [[Wrecker]]s assaulted the Decepticon [[Infiltration protocol|siege mode armature]], but Bluestreak kept his own squad out of the fighting, citing the planet as a lost cause. [[Springer (G1)|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 (G1)|Thunderwing]]. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 2}}

He later returned to [[Autobot Orbital Command Hub]] in order to greet [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] personally upon his revival, and was one of the Autobots (along with [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]], [[Beachcomber (G1)|Beachcomber]] and Mirage) suspected of trying to assassinate Blaster. {{storylink|Spotlight: Blaster}}

===Generation 1===
[[Image:G1 bluestreak toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|I know I don't wear much blue, but if you know your history, it really does make perfect sense.]]
*'''Bluestreak''' (Autobot Car, 1984/1985)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''08'''
**''Accessories:'' Beam Rifle, left & right missile launchers, 3 missiles

: The original Bluestreak toy was based on the ''[[Diaclone]]'' "Fairlady Z" toy and transforms into an accurate replica of a [[wikipedia:Nissan_280ZX|Datsun Fairlady Z]]. The all-silver deco for the mold was unique to its ''Transformers'' release, not a carry-over from ''Diaclone'' <ref>http://diaclone.net/orid/dia042/index.html Fairlady Z at diaclone.net (Japanese)</ref> though it was heavily based on the second version of his ''Diaclone toy''. Reused photography and artwork of Bluestreak's Diaclone incarnation led to considerable confusion in that it retained a blue and gray paint scheme not seen in the American toyline. The doors can open in car mode, but the vehicle mode lacks any kind of automotive interior. As with most Generation 1 toys of the time, he was constructed partially of die-cast metal and had rubber tires.

: In robot mode, Bluestreak has the classic "car hood-chest" design also featured on fellow Autobots like [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]], and is armed with a vacuum-metalized laser rifle and two shoulder-mounted rocket launchers that can each fire one of the three included projectiles.

: This mold was retooled to make [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]], and again for [[Smokescreen (G1)|Smokescreen]].

{{-}}
{{anchor|Anime}}
* '''Streak (anime version)''' (2002)
**''Accessories:'' Beam Rifle, left & right missile launchers, 3 missiles

: An [[exclusive]] to [[Takara]]'s [[e-Hobby]] shop, this version of Bluestreak was sold bundled in a set, though not packaged together, with a gold-plated version of [[Jazz (G1)|Meister]]. Often called "Anime Streak" by fans and collectors, this toy used the color scheme from the second version of his ''Diaclone'' toy (which was used as the basis for his cartoon and comic character model), with a black roof and hood instead of the original Transformer toy's silver.

{{anchor|Chrome}}
[[Image:G1Chromestreak toy.jpg|right|150px|thumb|I come in every color except blue.]]
* '''Streak (silver plated version)''' (2003)
**''Accessories:'' Beam Rifle, 2 x missile launchers (left & right), 3 x missiles

: Also an e-Hobby-exclusive, this version of Bluestreak was almost entirely vacuum-metalized, much like the gold-plated Jazz, but in silver. Like the gold Jazz, the Chrome Streak emulated a "campaign car" prize item from the original ''Diaclone'' line. <ref>http://www.tf-1.com/articles/reissue_frame.php?art=Chromestreak Article Chromestreak at TF-1.com</ref>

{{anchor|TRUComm}}

* '''Silverstreak''' (2004)
**''Accessories:'' Beam Rifle, left & right missile launchers, 3 missiles

: Released as part of [[Hasbro]]'s Toys "R" Us-[[exclusive]] [[Commemorative Series]] III reissues in the same colours as his original 1980s release, although his packaging pictures depict Takara's "Anime Streak" version. For this release, he was redubbed "Silverstreak" due to Hasbro's apparent inability to secure the [[trademark]] for the name "Bluestreak". Due to [[For safety reasons|safety reasons]], the springs in his rocket launchers were removed, and because of changes in the plastics used, his laser rifle and projectiles were not vacuum-metalized, instead being cast in more durable matte-black plastic.

===Alternators===
[[Image:AlternatorsSilverstreak toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Why did the other guy get to be blue?]]
*'''Silverstreak''' (Alternator, 2004)
**''Alternator ID number:'' '''4'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''BT-03'''
**''Accessories:'' Intercooler/beam rifle

: The second Subaru Impreza toy released in the ''[[Alternators]]'' line was actually the first to be developed, but due to marketing suggestions, the more eye-catching Smokescreen was released first. Silverstreak transforms into a very accurate and fully-licensed silver 2003 [[wikipedia:Subaru_Impreza_WRX|Subaru Impreza WRX]], with opening hood, trunk, and all four doors as well as a detailed interior. He also features working steering (not connected to the steering wheel, though) and rubber tires.

: His robot mode is based upon his original toy as well as his cartoon model, but with changes made to reflect modern standards of Transformers toys, as well as his new vehicle mode. He is armed with a laser rifle formed from his turbo intercooler and has the capacity to mount two spring-loaded rocket launchers on either side of his shoulders, though these were only included with the [[retool]] of ''Binaltech'' Smokescreen.

: Unusual for an ''Alternators'' release, Silverstreak was fully painted silver, similar to his ''Binaltech'' release. The silver paint on Silverstreak is more flat compared to the sparkled paint of the Binaltech version.

: The first shipment of the Alternator version used the right-side steering like the Japanese release. Soon afterwards, a modified version was released with the steering wheel on the left side of the vehicle.

: This mold was also used to make [[Ricochet (Headmasters)|Ricochet]] and ''[[Binaltech Asterisk]]'' [[Red Alert (G1)|Alert]].

{{anchor|BinaltechBlue}}
[[Image:Bluestreak BT19.jpg|right|100px|thumb|Finally! I became blue at last. Wait a minute.]]
*'''Bluestreak''' (Binaltech, 2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''BT-19'''
**''Accessories:'' Intercooler/beam rifle

: One of the initial releases of the reborn ''Binaltech'' line, Bluestreak is a redeco of ''Binaltech'' Silverstreak, using the "civilian" model of Subaru. As his name suggests, Bluestreak's body is almost completely blue... making him look suspiciously like a de-sponsored Smokescreen.

{{-}}
===Universe===
[[Image:UniverseSilverstreakSpy.jpg|right|150px|thumb|New name, old colors]]
*'''Silverstreak''' (Spy Changer, 2004)
**''Accessories:'' Beam Rifle

: A redeco of ''[[Robots in Disguise (toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Side Swipe (RID)|Side Swipe]], he is based upon his pre-G1 release "blue" color scheme, with a silver hood. He is armed with a small gun that is disguised as a tailpipe in vehicle mode.

: The original release of this toy (and the others in the assortment), [[exclusive]] to Kay-Bee stores, came on cards that lacked a sub-line designation. Later releases that were also available through chains like Dollar General were put on ''[[Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' cards.

{{-}}
===Smallest Transforming Transformers===
[[Image:STFStreak toy.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Not even the tiniest bit of blue]]
*'''Streak''' (2004)
**''Japanese ID Number:'' '''GTF X-3'''

: A retool of ''[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]'' Prowl, STF Streak is a much simplified, much smaller replica of his original toy. Although resembling his original Generation 1 form, he has less articulation and his wheels do not roll. Streak was one of two [[chase figure]]s in the second wave of the line.

{{-}}

===Universe (2008)===
====Classic Series====
[[Image:Universe2008 Silverstreak toy.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Are you sure you're not Camshaft?]]
*'''Silverstreak''' (Deluxe, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' "Volt Beam Blaster"

:Part of the third wave of [[Universe (2008 franchise)|2008 ''Universe'']] Deluxes, Silverstreak is a retool and redeco of the [[Prowl (G1)|2008 ''Universe'' Prowl]], transforming into a modified [[wikipedia:Nissan_350Z|Nissan 350Z]]. He features twin non-removable and non-firing "rocket launchers" that can swing over his robot-mode shoulders. His fold-out "Volt Beam Blaster" stores in the car mode's undersides.

:As with several recent ''Transformers'' vehicles with a metallic silver body colour, ''Universe'' Silverstreak's silver car body panels are painted metallic silver rather than being left as bare silver plastic.

: This mold was also used to make ''Universe'' [[Smokescreen (G1)|Smokescreen]].

{{-}}
===Henkei! Henkei!===
[[Image:Henkei Streak toy.jpg|right|260px|thumb|Silver paint and silver chrome? Damn.]]
*'''Streak''' (Deluxe, 2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-10'''
**''Accessories:'' "Volt Beam Blaster"

:The Japanese ''[[Henkei! Henkei! (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' release of ''Universe'' Silverstreak is a redeco of the original, swapping the black plastic on his hood and paint applications on his roof with dark gray, the maroon plastic to bright red, changing the red on the wheels to dark gray, as well as adding [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metallized]] silver on his Volt Beam Blaster, his shoulder rocker launchers and his spoiler. His face was also changed from white to silver, the blue on his waist to silver, and the Autobot symbol on his chest is smaller on the Henkei release. In some versions of this toy, the windows have a more transparent clarity and consistency than the somewhat foggy application used for the Universe version, although some have both foggy and transparent variants.

===Transformers - Mini Bust===
[[Image:Bluestreak statue.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Stop! or my mouth will shoot...off.]]
* '''Bluestreak''' (Diamond Select, 2009)

Released by Diamond Select Toys in 2009, Bluestreak was sculpted by [[Mark Wong|Mark Wong]] of [[Art Asylum]] and limited to 250 pieces. Bluestreak, along with his "brothers" [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] and [[Smokescreen (G1)|Smokescreen]], is exclusive to online retailer Toyrocket.com. The bust features Bluestreak's beam rifle and twin missile launchers. The missile launchers can be attached via magnets on either side of his head. The missile launchers given to Bluestreak closely match Smokescreen's animation model rather then his own. It is unknown if this change was intentional or a mistake.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
[[Image:Bluebluestreak.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Sadly, we can't put just this trivia entry in the "Does not exist" category.]]
* One of the longest-running [[Misconceptions and urban legends about Transformers|myths about Transformers]] is the existence of the "blue-sided Bluestreak". This misconception has its origins in Bluestreak's [[Package art|box art]] and [[Instructions|instruction sheet]], as well as the original 1984 [[Catalog|toy catalogs]],<ref>http://tfarchive.com/toys/catalogues/generationone_catalogue/84a_catalog.jpg Transformers catalog, circa 1984 (Autobots)</ref> all of which used the blue-sided ''[[Diaclone|Diaclone]]'' variant of the Fairlady mold. No sealed samples of the blue-sided Bluestreak in a ''Transformers'' box have ''ever'' been found. Oddly enough, though the catalogs featured numerous pictures of toys that did not match up with finished product (like [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] and [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]]), blue-sided Bluestreak is the only one that seems to have taken on the "my brother's friend's cousin had one" status.

* Compounding the confusion, a second Diaclone variant exists, with a black hood and silver sides, which became the basis for Bluestreak's animation model.

* In recent years, toys based on the Bluestreak character were renamed "Silverstreak" for [[trademark]] reasons, because a company named Gendron currently holds the trademark for "Toledo 'Blue Streak'" in the "toys" category.

* [[Aaron Archer]], as [[Orson]], when asked about the ''[[Commemorative Series]]'' Silverstreak's deco, said the figure was based on the 1984 version of the figure rather than the 2002 [[e-Hobby]] "Streak" release due to his desire to give collectors a version closer to the one released in 1984. While this is most likely true, it may also have to do with [[Hasbro]]'s inability or desire not to release figures too similar to e-Hobby exclusives, thus a required change for Silverstreak from e-Hobby Streak.

* The deco for Hasbro's retool of the ''[[Alternators]]'' Acura RSX mold was originally designed with Bluestreak in mind, specifically the original Diaclone deco mentioned above. Early leaked packaging samples even sported an abbreviated form of the name "Bluestreak" on their license plates. Ultimately, however, Hasbro decided to rename the toy and release it as "[[Camshaft (G1)|Autobot Camshaft]]" instead, possibly because they already had a representation of the Bluestreak character in the ''Alternators'' line (Silverstreak).

* '''Starscream''' (Decepticon Jet, 1984/1985/1986, 1991, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2007 and forever...)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''22, TFC-09'''
**''Accessories:'' Left & right fists, 2 missile launchers, 2 null rays, 2 cluster bombs, left & right wings, left & right tail fins, left & right tail wings, landing gear
**''Period of activity:'' [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Cartoon]], [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|Marvel Comics (US)]] [[The Transformers (issue)|1]]–[[Dark Star (issue)|50]]

: Starscream's first toy was taken from the ''[[Diaclone]]'' line, transforming into an F-15 Eagle fighter jet. In this mode he is armed with two cluster bombs, essentially shortened projectiles made to resemble (somewhat) the drop tanks that a real F-15 might carry. There are numerous minor construction variations on this mold, common for most of the ''Diaclone''-based Transformers.

: To transform Starscream, one must essentially take most of his plane parts off and transform his body, then reattach his plane parts on again, although if you don't mind being fiddly, it certainly can be achieved with only the fists and weapons being actually removed. In robot mode, the cluster bomb projectiles are replaced with long 'null rays''.''

{{-}}
{{note|For some reason, the stats on Skywarp's, Starscream's and Thundercracker's [[Tech Spec|Tech Specs]] were switched around. Starscream was given Skywarp's numbers.}}
: The first reissue of Starscream was practically identical to the original toy and was released by [[Takara]] in Japan in 2001.

: Starscream was reissued in normal colors for Hasbro's [[Commemorative Series]] in 2003. The release had remolded elongated missiles and launchers so as to comply with current US toy safety laws.

: Starscream's [[Transformers Collection|T/F Collection]] reissue from 2003 featured show-accurate colors and retooled fists to hold a new miniature Megatron gun-mode accessory. An [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] fist that could hold the gun was also included, as was a DVD. He also featured painted Decepticon symbols, wing and vertical stabilizer stripes, and a canopy frame.

: In 2007 Starscream was reissued for the Encore line. This release featured a light yellow window (instead of gray like the original or orange like the 2003 reissue) and painted symbols (reversed from the 2003 release).

: This mold is notorious for having many missing pieces due to the... modular design of its transformation. As such, an intact set is hard to come by. While it is impossible for all the pieces to fit in any one form of the toy, the landing gear can fit in the cockpit for storage in robot mode. Still, only one set of missiles can be fit into the launchers at one time.

: This mold is [[Redeco|redecoed]] into [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]], [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]], and [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]]. It is also [[Retool|retooled]] as [[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]], [[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]], and [[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]].

**''Period of activity:'' [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|Marvel Comics (US)]] [[All the Familiar Faces!|58]]–[[Dark Creation|65]]
:Starscream was released as a [[Classic Pretender]] with a human shell of a badly dressed man. The inner robot is a simplified version of the original toy transforming into an almost [[Super deformed]] F-15 fighter. His arms, legs and rear wing assemblies are all cast in blue plastic, with the latter also serving as dual laser weapons in robot mode.

* '''Starscream''' (Legends, 1989)
**''Accessories'': Left & right wings, left & right "lasers"/tail wings
**''Period of activity:'' [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|Marvel Comics (US)]] [[Dark Creation|65]]–[[A Savage Circle|78]]
:The inner robot of Pretender Starscream was also sold separately as a K-Mart [[Exclusive]] "[[Legends (G1)|Legends]]" figure, and was released with Legends [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Legend|Bumblebee]], [[Jazz (G1)#Legend|Jazz]], and [[Grimlock (G1)#Legend|Grimlock]] in a Japanese giftset the same year.

* '''Starscream''' (Action Master, 1990)
**''Accessories:'' Turbo Jet, rifle, 2 missiles
**''Notable appearances:'' None yet identified
: ''Action Master'' Starscream is a non-transforming action figure based loosely on his cartoon appearance but using a color scheme derived from the Pretender toy. His main accessory is the [[Turbo Jet]], a small personal attack craft that Starscream can set astride like a motorcycle. The Turbo Jet rolls on three small wheels, and can transform into a gun emplacement.

: This mold was [[Redeco|redecoed]] as [[Thundercracker (G1)#ActionMaster|Action Master Thundercracker]].

: Black Starscream is an e-Hobby exclusive release, with his colors loosely based upon ''[[Machine Wars]]'' [[#Machine_Wars|Starscream]], though his deco has much darker shades of gray, lacks clear blue plastic and has gold as one of his primary colors. In other words, not really like ''Machine Wars'' Starscream at all. But his bio places him there fictionally! Does that count?

: An all-clear Starscream was made for the ''[[Transformers Generations]]'' [[Lucky Draw]] contest. This figure was limited to ''five'' pieces, making it one of the rarest officially-released ''Transformers'' toys in the world. Four of the winners are still unknown, but the fifth figure is currently owned by [http://www.transformertoys.co.uk/toyreview.php?review=712 Transformers @ The Moon.] Secret Starscream differs from Ghost Starscream in that its plastic parts are completely clear and not color-tinted.

[[Image:G2Starscream toy.jpg|right|200px|thumb|With my camouflaged wings, I'll appear to be merely a fuselage flying through the sky!]]
* '''Starscream''' (Decepticon Jet, 1993)
**''Accessories:'' Left & right fists, 2 missile launchers, 2 null rays, 2 cluster bombs, left & right wings, left & right tail fins, left & right tail wings, landing gear
**''Period of activity:'' [[Generation 2 (Marvel Comics)|Generation 2]]

:Starscream's ''[[Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' release is a slight [[Retool]] of his original toy with new missiles, launchers, and an electronic light-and-sound box in the shape of a tank. The electronic box lights up with the press of either button, and emits electronic "machine gun" or "jet engine" noises. In jet mode, the sound box plugs onto his back end.

:The new accessories were also used, in different colors, for ''Generation 2'' Ramjet.

===Machine Wars===
[[Image:MWStarscream Toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|I have no mouth and I must Starscream.]]
* '''Starscream''' (Ultra, 1997)
**''Accessories:''
**''Notable appearances:'' None yet identified
: Starscream's ''[[Machine Wars]]'' release is a recolour of the [[Predator]] [[Skyquake (G1)|Skyquake]] with fewer missiles, no hand-held projectile launcher, and most of the gimmicks removed. He transforms into a large bomber based vaguely upon an SR-71 Blackbird. He still retains his "carpet bombing" gimmick, a rolling drum that drops his missiles from each wing.

: This mold was also used to make [[King Atlas]].

===Transtech===
[[Image:Starscream-transtech.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Obscure both by design and by accident]]
* '''Starscream'''

: Starscream would have been made available in the aborted ''[[Transcendent Technomorph|Transtech]]'' series in 2001. Control art and early [[Prototype]] images have surfaced, showing that the toy would have been at the Deluxe scale and featured internal lighting mechanisms that changed color depending on its mode. The toy is clearly a homage to his ''Machine Wars'' body, which at the time of ''Transtech's'' intended release would have been the last form Starscream had inhabited in American markets.

: In 2008, this design would be [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as the [[Transcendent Technomorph|TransTech]] universe's [[Starscream (TransTech)|Starscream]].

===Smallest Transforming Transformers===

* '''Starscream''' (2003)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''GTF-03'''
**''Accessories:'' Left & right fists, 2 missile launchers/cluster bombs, left & right wings, left & right tailfins, left & right tail wings

: ''[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]'' Starscream is a very small-scale simplification of the original Starscream toy, retaining most of its functionality and accessories, except for his long null-rays.

:This mold was, of course, redecoed and retooled into Thundercracker, Skywarp and Thrust.

===Robot Masters===
[[Image:RobotMastersStarscream toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|I have thighs?]]
*'''Starscream''' (Deluxe, 2004)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RM-12'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 rifles, 2 missile pods

: Starscream's ''[[Robot Masters]]'' toy is a re-imagining of the original toy, designed to be closer to the animation model, with greater poseability and integrated parts that did not require detachment during transformation (with the exception of his null-ray blasters). After re-engineering the design to stay roughly in one piece during transformation, Takara then gave him chromed missile pods that attach to his chestplate. Although not his usual choice of weapon, these are show-accurate: Starscream used them once in the episode "[[Fire on the Mountain]]" to attack [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailbreaker]] and [[Brawn (G1)|Brawn]].

[[Image:RMBlackStarscream.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Okay now I feel used. That's much better.]]
*'''Starscream Limited Black Version''' (Deluxe, 2004)
**''Accessories:'' 2 rifles, 2 missile pods

: Available only via mail-order from ''Figure King Magazine'', Black Starscream is a redecoof ''Robot Masters'' Starscream, swapping out his reds and blues for black, and some of his grey for black.

{{-}}
===Masterpiece===
[[Image:MasterpieceStarscream toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|And the fandom complained (and rejoiced).]]
* '''Starscream''' (2006)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-3'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 null rays, 2 missile racks, Doctor Arkeville pilot figurine, gun clip (for the Megatron pistol from Masterpiece Convoy/Optimus Prime), display stand

: ''Masterpiece'' Starscream is a high-quality, highly-detailed ''Transformers'' toy. He transforms into a mostly-accurate F-15E Eagle, with weapons options ranging from a rack of Sidewinder missiles to his trademark null ray cannons. In robot mode he is a highly detailed, well-articulated (especially the hands), yet stylized version of his original robot mode. His chest turbines flip up to reveal a bank of missiles each, and his face can be rotated so as to display either a stern or a smirking face. His wings can also be angled to 90° to make him take the look of his original G1 toy. Amusingly, the transformation allows the pilot's seat to stay straight in robot's mode.

:He comes with a small figurine of [[Doctor Arkeville]], his partner-in-crime for several early episodes of Generation 1; a display stand that can be used in both fighter and jet modes; and an extensive sheet of sticker decals, including variously sized Decepticon symbols, squadron numbers and squadron markings, including one of [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]]!

: ''Masterpiece'' Starscream was the second all-new sculpt in the ''Masterpiece'' series of toys, and was envisioned as the finest toy representation of the original Starscream ever created. To this end, famed Japanese mecha designer (and former Diaclone toy designer) [[Shōji Kawamori]] was recruited to oversee the design and engineering of this toy. The first prototype design was essentially a much more complex version of the original toy, based upon his cartoon and then-recent comic appearances, with a much more accurate F-15 Eagle fighter mode. However, Kawamori felt the design could be improved, particularly the details and underside of the fighter mode, as he did not want what would have basically been a new version of the old toy.

: Based on Kawamori's suggestions, a new prototype design was made, with major structures located in his legs now moved up to his hips (though they can be detached and put on his legs), with his transformation and design streamlined to create an even more realistic F-15 design. Even so, Kawamori was still unhappy with the amount of robotic parts visible underneath the plane, but conceded that too many changes would essentially not make the toy look like Starscream in robot mode.

: On his control art, there are pictures of Starscream that have him wearing his Decepticon Crown of Leadership, as seen in the coronation scene of the original animated movie. On the toy itself, his head and shoulders have notches for parts to attach to, suggesting that TakaraTomy have reserved Starscream's coronation parts for a later release of this toy.

: Oddly, Starscream's fighter colour scheme is inaccurate to real F-15E hull colours (Gunship Gray, colour code FS 36118), in that it has more of a green-blue tinge, which has made collectors wonder why TakaraTomy bothered changing Starscream's colours in the first place, especially as Starscream's original pale grey is a ''very'' close match to FS 36375, the main grey used on real F-15s of the 1980s. Additionally, his missiles are painted in the wrong colours (they should be the same grey) and are mounted sideways on their pylons, which is why they only have three fins on the back instead of four — they couldn't fit the fourth fin as they mounted the missiles themselves incorrectly.

===Classics===
[[Image:ClassicsStarscream toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Fear my extra-long null rays!!!]]
* '''Starscream''' (Deluxe, 2006)
**''Accessories:'' 2 missile launchers (left and right), 2 missiles

: ''Classics'' Starscream is a faithful reproduction of his original toy, but with modern standards of toy engineering, transformation, sculpting detail and articulation. He still transforms into an [[wikipedia:F-15_Eagle|F-15 Eagle]], but has the nose of an [[wikipedia:F-14_Tomcat|F-14 Tomcat]] fighter jet. His color scheme is inspired by [[wikipedia:Image:F-15A_first_prototype_2.jpg|photolab-edited photographs of the prototype F-15 Eagle]], as the original photos and the actual colors of the prototype fighter were actually sky blue with bright orange markings.

: In robot mode, Starscream is essentially a very detailed version of his cartoon robot mode, with many design elements that would also find their way into Masterpiece Starscream. He is armed with two (overly large) null-ray missile launchers, which are so large that they restrict his arm movement due to them bumping into his wings.

: Later versions of Starscream saw a [[Retool]] in the jet intake area first seen on ''Classics'' [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]]. The slope of his shoulders was decreased, and a rectangle added to the vertical area, making the number now five instead of four. This version of Starscream is the harder to find of the two. This retooled version was used for ''Classics'' Skywarp, [[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]], [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]], [[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]], and [[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]], as well as ''Universe'' (2008) [[Acid Storm]].

: One should note that certain plastic sections such as Starscream's back panel and tailfin assemblies are made of unusually rigid gray plastic that is slightly prone to cracking or breaking. Said parts should be handled with care.

[[Image:Hasbro Masterpiece Starscream toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Wait, you say the ''Hasbro'' version is the slavishly 'toon-accurate one? Your credibility is on shaky ground, Wiki.]]
* '''Masterpiece Starscream''' (2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 null rays, 2 missile racks, Doctor Arkeville pilot figurine, gun clip (for the Megatron pistol from Masterpiece Convoy/Optimus Prime), display stand

: A Wal-Mart exclusive, Hasbro's release of ''Masterpiece'' Starscream has been redecoed ''extensively'' to resemble the animation model of Starscream, down to the orange canopy and the silver nosecone (as opposed to the original toy's blue). In an effort to bring out detail in the sculpt, he has also been given an extensive paint wash to bring out his panel lines. Starscream includes the same accessories included in the Takara release of this toy, including a display stand, sidewinder missiles, a small figurine of Doctor Arkeville (which now has the correct skin color), and the clip to hold Masterpiece Convoy's Megatron gun while in jet mode. Starscream was finally given the correct tech spec stats he was originally supposed to have back in 1984 for this release, Skywarp's stats.

:The tips on the Starscream's vertical stabilizers were [[For safety reasons|shortened and rounded]] for the U.S. release, and the plastics used overall have greater resilience to impact and damage than the fragile Japanese release.

:This version of Starscream was also released in Japan as an exclusive item in the same packaging but with different paint applications. The paint changes include an added Decepticon symbol on the nose cone, light gray wear instead of black, and less of it. It uses the unmodified version of the mold used for MP-3 Starscream and MP-6 Skywarp.

===Titanium Series===
[[Image:TitaniumRM Starscream.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Stop, in the name of love...]]
* '''Starscream''' (Robot Masters, 2006)
**''Accessories:'' Display stand

: Released in wave 2, the first ''[[Titanium Series]]'' Starscream is a small, non-transforming die-cast metal figurine, based upon his Generation 1 cartoon appearances. He is sculpted holding Megatron in gun mode in his left hand, and holding up his palm outward with his right, while using his jets to fly up. EXCITEMENT.

: This mold was also used to make Thundercracker.

* '''War Within Starscream''' (Cybertron Heroes, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Display stand

: War Within Starscream is a redeco of "War Within" Thundercracker (talk about irony). He transforms into a Cybertronian 'tetrajet', as re-imagined by [[Don Figueroa]]. As with all 6-inch Titanium Cybertron Heroes, he is constructed mostly of fully painted die-cast metal.

: This mold was used to make the "War Within" versions of [[Sunstorm (G1)#WarWithin|Sunstorm]] and [[Skywarp (G1)#WarWithin|Skywarp]].

*'''Starscream''' (Deluxe, 2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''D-02'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 missile launchers (left and right), 2 missiles
: ''[[Henkei! Henkei! (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' Starscream is a redeco of ''Classics'' Starscream. He features considerably different paint applications that more closely mimic the original ''Generation 1'' cartoon model, as well as a more opaque grey plastic base, a lighter blue, and orange translucent plastic instead of yellow. Like all ''Henkei'' toys, he lacks the heat-sensitive [[Rubsign]] that the ''Classics'' counterpart featured, but has two [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metallized]] barrels on his missile launchers.

*'''Ghost Starscream''' (Deluxe, 2009)
**''Accessories:'' 2 missile launchers (left and right), 2 missiles
: This toy is a mail-away exclusive product only available by an offer with a purchase of the book "[[Transformers Generations 2009|Transformers Generations 2009, Volume 2]]". To represent Starscream's ghost, it is cast almost entirely in translucent plastics, except the parts made of softer plastic (like the upper legs).

===Decoy===
*'''Starscream''' (Decoy, 1986)
**''Decoy ID number'': ?

: Coming packaged at random on carded ''Transformers'' toys during 1986, [[Decoy]] Starscream is a tiny soft-rubber figure of Starscream in his robot mode. Like all Decepticon Decoys, he was available in both purple and red, although the red Decepticons were only used in some early products and are therefore considerably rarer.

===Heroes of Cybertron===
:The ''[[Heroes of Cybertron]]'' PVC figurine line is an adaptation by Hasbro of Takara's own ''Super Collection Figure'' line. The main difference between the two lines is that Hasbro cast Autobot and Decepticon figures in clear blue or clear red PVC respectively, then completely painted the figurines. This allowed the eyes to 'glow' when placed in front of the light source.

* '''Starscream''' (2002)
