When the [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticons]] attacked an inhabited city on [[Earth]], [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] called upon the Protectobots to evacuate the civilians caught in the crossfire. Streetwise was carrying civilians when he discovered an injured man and called [[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]] over to help him. Later, as Earth's orbit was diverted to the [[Sun]] by the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]], Streetwise and [[Groove (G1)|Groove]] commandeered a meat locker to keep the overheated humans cool. Streetwise assured Groove that given the constantly rising temperatures outside, the humans would not freeze to death. {{storylink|The Revenge of Bruticus}}

[[File:G1 RevengeofBruticus Groove Streetwise freezer.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|The heat is on, on the street.]]
Streetwise, as part of Defensor, totally blew up [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]]. Afterward, he was with the Protectobots when they saved some window-washers from a burning skyscraper, catching the humans when [[Blades (G1)|Blades]] blew them off their platform. Later still, Streetwise and the other Protectobots were ordered to help defend [[Ark (G1)|Autobot Headquarters]] from a Decepticon attack. Streetwise had a crowning moment of glory when he blasted Starscream out of the sky. The Protectobots then merged into Defensor, who activated his useless force field, which almost immediately deactivated, allowing the Decepticons to blast Defensor back into his component parts. {{storylink|B.O.T. (episode)|B.O.T.}}

Streetwise was among the Autobots who battled the [[Sweep (G1)|Sweep]]s when Cybertron came under attack from the Decepticons and [[Quintesson]]s in [[2005]]. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5}}

[[File:G1 UltimateWeapon HotSpotStreetwise covering FirstAid.jpg|upright=1.25|thumb|left|Bad Boys / Bad Boys / Watcha gonna do / Watcha gonna do when they come 4 u.]]
In the year [[2006]], the Autobots were asked to help the Dutch authorities deal with French rebels. After dispersing the human aggressors by crashing a trash can into them, the Protectobots came under attack from the Decepticons. Streetwise expressed concern that the Decepticons didn't care how many innocent humans they killed so long as they destroyed the Protectobots. Later, it turned out the battle was only a diversion to allow [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] to steal [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]'s [[transformation cog]], First Aid left the Autobots when he failed to stop the theft. Unfortunately, just as First Aid left, the Autobots were called upon to deal with a rampaging [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]. Hot Spot ordered the remaining Protectobots to combine into Defensor, and they successfully saved a train full of civilians, even without First Aid. {{storylink|The Ultimate Weapon}}

Later in 2006, the Protectobots arrived at the aftermath of the battle between the [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]] and [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] at [[Mark Morgan]]'s laboratory. They transported the injured [[Jessica Morgan]] to County General Hospital and watched over her as the doctors restored her ability to walk with an exo-skeletal structure, enraging the robo-phobic senior Morgan. This had [[Hate Plague|negative consequences]]. What a jerkface. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1}}

When Cybertron came under attack from the Decepticons again, the Protectobots and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] surrounded [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] and showered him in laser fire. They might even have defeated the tyrant if they hadn't been blown away by [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]'s forces. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 3}}

=====''Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers'' manga=====
When the Stunticons attacked a baseball stadium, [[Kenji]] alerted the Autobot combiners that they were needed. As the Protectobots arrived, Streetwise got the humans to safety while Hot Spot extinguished the blaze caused by the Decepticons. They transformed into Defensor, but Hot Spot was damaged in a savage attack by [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] and Bruticus, leaving the Protectobots unable to combine. Seizing upon an idea, Kenji told Superion to shoot out the Decepticons' legs. Streetwise and First Aid then swooped in and combined with Bruticus, while their comrades did the same with Menasor. With their own legs out of control, the Decepticon combiners were tossed out over the ocean by their own limbs. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers issue 5|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers #5}}

Later, Streetwise transported the [[Autobot Mini-Cassette]]s [[Eject (G1)|Eject]] and [[Rewind (G1)|Rewind]] into battle, pitting them against their Decepticon counterparts, [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] and [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]]. {{storylink|Fight!

=====Scramble City=====
Streetwise and the Protectobots participated in the Scramble City project under Ultra Magnus's direction, working towards the construction of [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]. After the Decepticons uncovered their secret building site, the Protectobots rode into battle alongside the newly completed Metroplex. Streetwise and his comrades arrived and formed Defensor just in time to act as the harbinger of Metroplex and his really big gun. {{storylink|Scramble City: Mobilization}}

=====''The Great Transformer War''=====
Streetwise and the Protectobots joined forces with the Aerialbots for a raid on [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]. They intended to rescue Doctor [[Dalton]], a scientist Galvatron had kidnapped in order to force him to use his knowledge to upgrade the Decepticons. The Aerialbots, as Superion, charged in first, but were torn to shreds by the Combaticons and Stunticons. Hot Spot went to work in his repair bay mode fixing them up, and tasked [[Blades (G1)|Blades]] with infiltrating Trypticon to recover the missing scientist. In the meantime, it was up to Streetwise, [[Groove (G1)|Groove]] and [[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]] to keep Bruticus and Menasor occupied long enough for Hot Spot and Blades to complete their missions. Soon, the revived Aerialbots stepped in to save their Protectobot comrades, and Blades successfully freed the doctor from the Decepticons whle they were distracted watching the battle. {{storylink|The Great Transformer War issue 1|The Great Transformer War #1}}

=====''The Headmasters'' cartoon=====
{{voiceactor|[[Ryōichi Tanaka]] (Japanese)}}
In [[2011]], Galvatron attacked Cybertron looking to take control of [[Vector Sigma]]. Streetwise and the Protectobots were active in Cybertron's defense as Defensor during the assault. {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}} {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}} Later, Streetwise's team assembled on Earth at [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]]'s command. Their mission was to stop the Decepticons from interfering with [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] and the [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]]s, who were searching for the hidden location of the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. On a security sweep, the Protectobots ran across their old nemeses, the Combaticons, and went into battle. The two teams quickly assumed their combined forms as Bruticus and Defensor, as the fighting escalated. {{storylink|Birth of the Fantastic Double Prime}}

When Galvatron made another strike on Cybertron, this time to steal the super-metal [[Cybertonuron]], Streetwise and the Protectobots assembled before the [[space bridge]] on Earth to be transported into battle. Seeking out the Combaticons on the battlefield, the Protectobots soon formed Defensor and fought once more with Bruticus. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 1}} Defensor and Bruticus's battle continued as Defensor delivered a devastating smash to Bruticus's back. For at least part of the battle, the two teams disassembled again for man-to-man combat, {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 2}}

Streetwise and the Protectobots were dispatched to [[Peru]] with the [[Trainbot]]s when a volcano erupted, leaving a mountainside village in dire peril. Their rescue mission was blocked by the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]]. [[Shouki]] and the Trainbots occupied the fiends so that the Protectobots could proceed on to the village and protect the innocent lives. Nevertheless, the Protectobots failed to reach the village, as they were intercepted by the Decepticons' second wave, the [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]]. Streetwise and the Protectobots briefly struggled with the Headmasters before forming Defensor, but that left them grouped together and vulnerable to an underhanded attack. Defensor was taken out of action by [[Mindwipe (G1)|Mindwipe]]'s paralysis ray, which was strong enough to force Streetwise and the Protectobots apart and leave them completely immobilized. {{storylink|The Dormant Volcano Mysteriously Erupts}}

Streetwise and the Protectobots were part of a strike team that flew to the [[Moon (moon)|moon]] to disrupt Scorponok's gathering of Decepticons. They immediately formed Defensor upon entering the battle. {{storylink|Return of the Immortal Emperor}} When the planet [[Sandra (planet)|Sandra]] sent out a distress call asking for energy, the Autobots of Earth responded. While they were loading the Trainbots full of supplies, however, Galvatron and the Decepticons arrived to take the energy for themselves. Streetwise and the Protectobots fought back against the enemy, and formed Defensor to counter Devastator on the battlefield. {{storylink|SOS from Planet Sandra}}

After the death of Ultra Magnus, the Autobots were desperately trying to pick up the slack during Sixshot's campaign of destruction around the globe. Streetwise and the Protectobots assembled as Defensor to go out and confront Sixshot at one of the attack sites, but they apparently didn't fare too well. {{storylink|The Emperor of Destruction Vanishes on an Iceberg}} When the Decepticons seemingly abandoned Earth, Streetwise and the Protectobots assisted Spike in rebuilding the planet after the enemy's departure. On one occasion, they located Sixshot's old command base. By combining into Defensor, the Protectobots helped Raiden and Computron obliterate the base, wiping out all trace of the Decepticons' presence. {{storylink|Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 1)}}

Following a lengthy period of inactivity, the Decepticons renewed their attacks on Earth. With Fortress still off in space, Spike Witwicky dispatched Streetwise and the Protectobots to attend to the threats. In Canberra, [[Australia]], the Protectobots confronted Bruticus at one of Scorponok's new Death Towers. As Defensor, the Protectobots were beaten severely by Bruticus, and First Aid was even knocked out of the arm socket. Using Scramble Power, Defensor switched Streetwise up to his shoulder and reattached First Aid as a leg, still carrying his fireball cannon. Despite this cunning(?) trick, Defensor was defeated by Bruticus. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 1)}} As part of Defensor, Streetwise participated in the Autobots final battle with Scorponok's Decepticons at the North Pole. He lent his energies to the Headmasters' [[Head Formation]] to revitalize Fortress Maximus at the critical moment. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}

=====''Unite Warriors''=====
Streetwise and the other Protectobots played a game of baseball in celebration of First Aid's friend [[NUL-A]]'s birthday. {{storylink|Unite Warriors Offshot#Today Is First Aid's Close Friend NUL-A's Birthday!|Today Is First Aid's Close Friend NUL-A's Birthday!}}

[[File:Pyro streetwise insignia g2 redux.jpg|thumb|"I got one thing to lay on you cats, and then I'll split. I am declaring war on [[Clench (G1)#Wings Universe|anyone who sells drugs in our community.]]"]]
After Cybertron entered its new Golden Age, the war between the Autobots and Decepticons still raged in space and on Earth. Defensor was permanently destroyed in battle with his nemesis, [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]]. Only Streetwise managed to survive the colossal damage Defensor suffered, and swore revenge against the last surviving [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticon]]: [[Breakdown (G1)|Breakdown]]. 

In [[2010]], Streetwise was pulled away from his station at [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]] on Earth to aid the "second generation" Autobots in liberating the [[Large Hadron Collider]] from [[Clench (G1)|Clench]]'s [[Decepticon Syndicate]]. While most of the Autobot forces distracted the Decepticons with a head-on attack, he came with [[Rapido]] and [[Meanstreak]] and used his "knack for getting to where he's not supposed to be" to sneak into the facility and rescue the captive [[Pyro (G1)|Pyro]]. When they found him, Streetwise was attacked by a [[forestonite]]-powered Breakdown, who then made the mistake of trying to destroy the rest of the forestonite. Instead of exploding, the forestonite gas spread throughout the building, turning Streetwise black and red and giving him the power to turn intangible. He used his new powers to continue the battle with Breakdown until he and the rest of the Decepticons fled. In the aftermath of the battle, Streetwise officially joined Pyro's second generation Autobots and transferred the deactivated Protectobots to Europe in hopes that he could use forestonite to revive them. {{storylink|Generation 2: Redux}}

Streetwise joined Pyro's crew as they investigated a break-in at [[Quantum Laboratories]]. They had not long left Earth in the shuttle when he received a transmission from [[Nebulos]]. When the team got there, they found that [[Hi-Q]] had been kidnapped, and when [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike]], Pyro and Streetwise viewed security footage, they discovered the [[Battlecharger]]s were responsible. {{storylink|A Flash Forward, Part 3}} The kidnappers' exhaust trail led them to [[Qre]], where they were set upon by a training system and then captured by [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]] and his [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticons]]. {{storylink|A Flash Forward, Part 4}} Imprisoned, they were forced to listen to Jhiaxus's speeches. {{storylink|A Flash Forward, Part 5}} After being freed by [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]], the Autobots went on to rescue Hi-Q, destroy the base, and return to Earth. {{storylink|A Flash Forward, Part 6}}

====Ask Vector Prime====
The Protectobots once lived on the colony world of [[Archon]], but as the colony slowly began to fail they succumbed to [[stasis lock]]. They remained that way until [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] chanced across the ruins of the planet and brought them back to Earth. The only way to revive them was through an [[energon]] infusion; the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbot]]s volunteered for the process. The Protectobots made a complete recovery and then some: the transfusion had given them the ability to combine! Optimus Prime gave them [[Protectobots' headquarters|their own headquarters]] in [[Central City (Earth)|Central City]], hoping that city life would help them acclimatize to life on Earth while also providing the metropolis with an extra degree of protection. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/09/21}}

{{noteukonly}}
''Though [[Buster Witwicky (G1)|Buster Witwicky]] had given the [[Matrix of Leadership|Creation Matrix]] back to [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]], its influence was still present in his mind. He and Prime had their minds connected to a machine, where they shared a vision of a "Second Generation" of Transformers. Streetwise was the member of the Protectobots, one of four [[Special Teams]]. In this vision, Streetwise and his fellow Protectobots combined into Defensor and fought the Decepticons Bruticus and Menasor while defending the [[Pullen Power Plant]].'' {{storylink|The Special Teams Have Arrived}} ''But [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] and [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]] were listening in on this vision, and both sides planned to make it reality.'' {{storylink|Second Generation!}}

[[File:Streetwise-g1issue35.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Get me Undercover Brother!]]
On their first mission, the Protectobots joined Optimus Prime in protecting [[Energy Futures Industries]] and the [[hydrothermocline]] from [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] and the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]]. After agreeing to battle for the prize in a virtual reality so that neither the hydrothermocline nor innocent bystanders would be harmed, Optimus and the Protectobots entered the bizarre landscape of ''[[Multi-World]]''. Searching for the Combaticons, Streetwise and [[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]] entered Vineland. On a hunch, Streetwise chose to lift a falling web of vines out of their path instead of blasting through it. This left them open to attack by [[Brawl (G1)|Brawl]] and [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]], but it also earned the respect of the living vines populating Vineland, who entangled the Combaticons long enough for the Protectobots to beat their opponents. Streetwise did so by shattering the enemies with his [[Compression cannon|air-compressor cannon]] after First Aid [[Decrystallizer cannon|crystallized]] them. {{storylink|Afterdeath!}} {{storylink|Gone but Not Forgotten!}} ''These events were observed by the [[time travel]]ling [[Dicet Alpha-zero]].'' {{storylink|The Quest!}}

[[File:Stargazing-Streetwise.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|Thank god for size-changing!]]
After the ''Multi-World'' battle led to the death of Optimus Prime, Streetwise watched with the other active Autobots as Ratchet attempted to bring their leader back to life. This failed, and so Streetwise and the Protectobots escorted Optimus Prime's body to his funeral site, where he would be launched into space. {{storylink|Funeral for a Friend!}} The Protectobots fell under the command of [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]]. They were sent to capture the deserters [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Goldbug]], and found them in a used car lot, alongside the immobilized [[Throttlebot]]s. The situation escalated when both the Combaticons and a [[Rapid Anti-robot Assault Team|RAAT]] squadron also laid claim to the captives, ultimately leading into a brawl between the different factions. During this battle, Streetwise blinded [[Vortex (G1)|Vortex]] with his [[photon pistol]]. Both Protectobots and Combaticons were so dsitracted by the clash that they didn't notice RAAT making away with Goldbug and the Throttlebots. With the Combaticons deterred, however, the Protectobots still had Blaster to bring back to Grimlock... for trial and execution. {{storylink|Used Autobots}} As Streetwise was reporting the mission results to the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], the Protectobots ran into the Combaticons yet again. This battle went poorly compared to the past ones, as the Protectobots were defeated by [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]], the Combaticons' combined form, despite themselves merging into Defensor to counter. Thankfully, Blaster came to their rescue; some errant children had removed his mode-lock during the battle, and collapsing an electrical tower atop of Bruticus was enough to knock the colossus unconscious. In thanks, the Protectobots allowed Blaster to walk away with his newfound friends. {{storylink|Child's Play (issue)|Child's Play}}

''Later, on Christmas day, Streetwise came upon a [[Christmas kid|young boy]] teaching [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream]] the meaning of [[Christmas]]. Jumping to the conclusion that the Decepticon was up to no good at first, Streetwise opened fire on Starscream, until his opponent's human companion clarified matters for him. Streetwise was hesitant to buy the boy's story, but Starscream seemingly proved him right by rescuing a busload of senior citizens from being trapped out in the cold. After making sure the boy was alright spending the rest of the day with Starscream, Streetwise left to escort the elderly folks to their destination.'' {{storylink|Stargazing}}

''Following Optimus Prime's return to life, Streetwise and the Protectobots were assigned to guard the backup copy of the [[floppy disk]] that had enabled his resurrection, stored at an [[Alternate Reality, Inc.]] warehouse. Alerted to Combaticon activity at [[Rutter U.S. Military Base]], the team was relieved by the Autobot [[Powermaster]]s so they could go and deal with their old rivals. Unfortunately, they were too late to stop the Combaticons' theft of military technology; worse yet, upon their return to the warehouse, they discovered that the Decepticon Powermasters had stolen the disk in their absence. Combining into Defensor, they tried to stop the villains from escaping, but a barrage of fire from the underhanded Combaticons knocked the giant over.'' {{storylink|Prime Bomb!}}

And, when [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]] chose to disobey [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Prime]]'s directives and make a tactical first strike against [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]]'s ships, Streetwise went with him.

===The Special Teams===
Streetwise and the rest of the Protectobots were posted at the [[Pullen Power Plant]] to defend it while its human workers had been evacuated due to the possibility of a landslide in the area. Blades soon spotted the Stunticons heading towards their position. Racing to meet their incoming foes, Streetwise was surprised to witness these newcomers combine into Menasor. To combat this new threat, the Protectobots merged once more into Defensor. The Decepticons soon found himself losing the battle and dispersed, though the storm around them had gotten too bad for the Autobots to give chase. {{storylink|The Special Teams}}

During the so-called [[Dark Ages]], when [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] vanished in a [[space bridge]] accident, Streetwise stuck with his Protectobot team after the signing of the [[Crisis Intervention Accord]]. Whilst in their base at [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], Streetwise reported the rumour of the [[Ultracon]] [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] having been unleashed in the [[Tagan Heights]] against [[Springer (G1)|Springer's]] [[Wrecker]]s. Deciding that they could not afford to ignore this or let the [[combiner]] arms race begin once again, the Proctectobots rolled out to assist the Wreckers. Arriving in Tagan Heights, they formed the mighty Defensor and the battle of the titans was on. {{storylink|Escalation}} Unfortunately, they could not control Defensor's dim-witted battle lust, and were forced to separate and find a less destructive means of taking down Devastator. While Devastator manhandled Springer, the Protectobots hooked the former up to a nearby power generator. Streetwise then threw the switch, overloading the enemy combiner and forcing him to separate into the individual [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]]. {{storylink|Devastation}}

Whilst the Protectobots were trying to figure out what went wrong during the battle in their combined form, the [[Chaos Trinity]], minions of the mysterious being known as [[The Fallen]], attacked. As Streetwise drew a bead on [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]], he was hypnotized into blasting [[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]] by [[Mindwipe (G1)|Mindwipe]]. {{storylink|Confrontation (issue)|Confrontation}}

Millions of years later, the Protectobots battled [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] as Defensor when the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]] escaped from a penal facility... and lost, big time. {{storylink|Passive Aggression}} Defensor later aided in the Autobot insurrection. {{storylink|Revelation (War and Peace)|Revelation}} After the Autobots regained power, Streetwise and the Protectobots searched [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]'s clone lab, finding [[Runabout (G1)|Runabout]] and [[Runamuck (G1)|Runamuck]] barely alive, having been attacked by [[Sunstorm (G1)|an unknown assailant]]. Streetwise was reported in on their progress to Ultra Magnus as they tried to get the two Decepticons back to working order, in order to get more information out of them. {{storylink|Black Sunshine}}

===2005 IDW continuity===
{{first|[[...For All Mankind|''The Transformers'' vol. 1 #1]]}}

[[File:Police Action 1 Streetwise.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|right]]
Streetwise was one of many Autobot survivors who made it through Megatron's all-out attack on their defense network. In the two years following the attack, he made his way to Earth and united with Optimus Prime and the Autobots stationed there. In order to keep an eye on the humans, Streetwise and [[Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Prowl]] infiltrated the police force in their [[alternate mode]]s. Both were present for an emergency response to [[Breakdown (G1)|Breakdown]] attacking a power plant. The robot hunters of [[Skywatch]] arrived and disabled the Decepticon, but then proceeded as if they were going to execute him on the scene. Despite Streetwise's words of caution, Prowl transformed to stop the execution and was captured. Streetwise maintained his cover and reported the incident back to Prime. {{storylink|...For All Mankind}}

Later, Streetwise was among the Autobots who remained on Earth along with Prowl, [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ultra Magnus]], and [[Bumblebee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Bumblebee]] (as well as others) instead of accompanying [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus]] and the rest of the Autobots to Cybertron to find out what [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]] was up to. He participated in an investigation of [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]]'s "secret" activities by taking turns trailing the human in his alt form along with Prowl. Prowl and Streetwise followed Spike to a suburban district. However, when Breakdown appeared and attempted to kill Spike by running him over, Streetwise converted to primary form and attacked the Decepticon, much to Prowl's chagrin. Breakdown was damaged and forced to retreat. Prowl and Streetwise then returned to base, where both of them were harshly reprimanded by Ultra Magnus. {{storylink|Police Action: Part 1|Police Action #1}}

[[File:Only Forward Streetwsie attacks Brawl.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.3]]
Streetwise came to Prowl's rescue when he was attacked by [[Brawl (G1)|Brawl]], saving him from a collapsing building before helping him defeat the Decepticon tank. The two took him back to base and tried to interrogate him, but a failsafe in his body went off and placed him in near [[stasis lock]] before he could reveal who sent him. Later, Streetwise and [[Groove (G1)|Groove]] were sent to take former Skywatch agent [[Sandra (G1)|Sandra]] in so that Bumblebee and Ultra Magnus could question her about Spike. {{storylink|Police Action Part 2: Only Forward|Only Forward}} Together with Prowl and Ultra Magnus, he went on to arrest [[Ben Simpson]], only to find that he was a [[facsimile construct]] created by [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]]. {{storylink|Police Action Part 3: A Second Chance at Eden|A Second Chance at Eden}} While Streetwise was busy with Prowl's investigation, Bumblebee went out and captured the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]] all on his own, an accomplishment which came as quite a shock for him and the rest of the Earth crew. {{storylink|The Question}}

After returning to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Streetwise assisted in hauling [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]]'s body out of the Decepticon holding area and stood guard in the aftermath of a mysterious explosion. {{storylink|Stick Together}} While standing guard at [[Skydive (Predator)|Skydive]]'s murder scene he was instructed by Prowl to seal off the exits to the city and make sure nobody wandered the reclamation tunnels alone. {{storylink|Devisive}} Together with Prowl and [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]], Streetwise later broke up a secret meeting between [[Sky-Byte (RID)|Sky-Byte]] and some Decepticons and was injured by a flamethrower when [[Needlenose (G1)|Needlenose]] fought back. {{storylink|A Better Tomorrow}}

When the Decepticon captain, [[Turmoil]], landed his ship on Cybertron, Streetwise was part of Prowl's forces that were ordered to start storming the ship when given the order. Later, Metalhawk gave the order and the Autobot squad went in to capture the Decepticons. {{storylink|Interference Patterns}} When [[Turmoil]]'s ship, containing a sort of time machine, disappeared under Bumblebee's nose, Streetwise arrived to help with the investigation. {{storylink|Night and the City}} The Autobot squad was later supposed to storm the Decepticon pen as well, but it exploded in their face due to what appeared to be backfiring booby traps. {{storylink|The End of the Beginning of the World}} Shortly thereafter, Megatron returned from a months-long absence, but Streetwise and the other Autobots refused to let him into their peaceful post-war society and immediately tried to kill him. {{storylink|City on Fire}} Sure enough, it wasn't long before Megatron gathered his forces and tried to conquer [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]. During the ensuing battle, Streetwise fought desperately to defend the medical center from [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]]. {{storylink|Plan for Everything}} 

Around six months later, Streetwise joined the crew of the ''[[Lost Light]]'' on their quest to find the [[Knights of Cybertron]] under the command of a reformed Megatron. Before launch, he was seen painting ship's name on its hull alongside [[Atomizer]]. {{storylink|World, Shut Your Mouth Part 1: Towards Peace|Towards Peace}} During some downtime, Streetwise and Groove had a wrestling match at [[Swerve's]] which Streetwise seemed to be losing. They were both called into action as part of a security team alongside Megatron, [[Aquafend]] and Ultra Magnus when an inebriated [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailcutter]] set off a silent alarm breaking into the medibay, but Megatron dismissed the rest of the team to deal with Trailcutter himself. {{storylink|World, Shut Your Mouth Part 2: Words Hang in the Air|Words Hang in the Air}} When the ''Lost Light'' suddenly began disappearing shortly afterwards, Streetwise and the rest of the crew abandoned ship. {{storylink|World, Shut Your Mouth Part 3: Predestination: A Beginner's Guide|Predestination: A Beginner's Guide}} Once the ship returned, he celebrated at Swerve's until he and everyone else present were knocked out by [[Brainstorm (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Brainstorm]] poisoning the drinks. {{storylink|slaughterhouse Part 2: The Road Not Taken|The Road Not Taken}}

According to alternate account, Streetwise remained on Cybertron and responded to the fire that burned down [[Gutcruncher (G1)|Gutcruncher]]'s bar. {{storylink|Quest for Fire}}

When [[Mirage (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Mirage]] returned to Cybertron on the ''[[O Fortuna]]'', Streetwise was part of the crew alongside Groove, [[Hot Spot (G1)|Hot Spot]], [[Blades (G1)|Blades]] and [[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]]. Noting how the five of them had the shared expertise to protect Mirage from any sort of harm, he jokingly dubbed the team the "Protectobots". {{storylink|The Possible Light}} On arrival, the team immediately walked into a [[combiner]] conflict and were forcefully combined into [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] by [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]], who needed another combiner on Cybertron's side. {{storylink|Mistakes and Mayhem}}

Streetwise and the Protectobots later departed Cybertron, apparently intending to return to the ''Lost Light''. {{storylink|The Transgressors}} It took several months, but they finally caught up with the ''Lost Light'' on its quest for Cyberutopia. Much had changed. [[Getaway]] was now captain of the ship, and held strict rules about socializing and helping other races on their journey full-pace towards Cyberutopia. Asking around, the Protectobots learned most of the senior staff, including co-captains Rodimus and Megatron, had apparently abandoned the ''Light'' in order to make faster progress on their own. In fact, the regretful [[Riptide (G1)|Riptide]] informed them Getaway had led a mutiny against the captains, abandoning them on [[Necroworld]] to the [[Galactic Council]] and [[Decepticon Justice Division]], then used mnemosurgery to reprogram the crew into believing otherwise. Streetwise and the others attempted to flee before Getaway did the same to them, but were captured by the security team and placed in an infinite memory loop by [[Sunder (G1)|Sunder]]. {{storylink|The Plotters' Club (Part 1): Full Circle|Full Circle}}

Riptide managed to survive Getaway's attempt to dispose of him, hiding away in the ship until he could rescue the Protectobots. Rook had been killed by Getaway and [[Atomizer]] while they slept, so First Aid suggested they un-entomb [[Ambulon]]'s corpse as a replacement leg for Defensor. At the shuttle bay, Defensor and Thunderclash tried to fight their way through the security team, but Getaway had hired [[Star Saber (Victory)|Star Saber]] as the new head of security. He blasted Thunderclash and broke apart the unstable combiner with a single swipe of his blade. Hot Spot, Blades, Groove, and Streetwise were dazed enough for Getaway and the others to bring them down with a hail of gunfire. Only First Aid, Riptide, and the seriously injured Thunderclash managed to escape the ship. {{storylink|The Plotters' Club (Part 3): Journey's End|Journey's End}}

Apparently their injuries weren't as bad as they seemed, as all five Protectobots were perfectly fine as they attended Ultra Magnus' parting toast as the ''Lost Light'' completed its victory lap. {{storylink|How To Say Goodbye And Mean It: Part 2}}

===''Kre-O'' online manga===
Streetsmart and the Protectobots responded to a [[Decepticon]] attack, leading to [[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]] being injured in battle. In order to prove to himself that he was a capable warrior, First Aid went on to lead the Protectobots in recovering [[Metroplex (Kre-O)|Metroplex]]'s stolen [[transformation cog]] from [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]]. After locating the thief, Streetsmart combined with his team to form Defensor, who defeated the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]]' own [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]]. {{storylink|Bad at Fighting?

Streetwise was presumably present as part of Defensor during the Battle for [[Sherman Dam]] in [[Primax 096.0 Beta]]. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/09/06}}

===''Combiner Wars'' cartoon===
Streetwise was among the Autobot troops who bore witness to a pivotal duel between Optimus Prime and Megatron, one meant to end the war before the never-ending arms race between the two factions spiralled further out of control. {{storylink|Prelude to Transformers: Combiner Wars - Optimus Prime}}

==Commercial appearances==
*Streetwise and the rest of the Protectobots rushed the Decepticon fortress [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]], undaunted by its enormous size. When Trypticon assumed its battle station mode, the Protectobots merged into [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] to better fight back. {{storylink|Commercial/Generation 1#Defensor and Trypticon|Defensor and Trypticon commercial}}
*Streetwise and the Protectobots received a message from Optimus Prime alerting them that [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] was wreaking havoc in a human city, and that the threat was "bigger than ever." The Protectobots combined into Defensor to better combat the Decepticon. {{storylink|Commercial/Generation 1#2015|Transformers Generations: Combiner Wars commercials}}

Streetwise, alongside [[Blades (G1)|Blades]], [[Groove (G1)|Groove]], and [[Hot Spot (G1)|Hot Spot]], responded to an emergency call that was in actuality a trap set by the Decepticons [[Skullcruncher (G1)|Skullcruncher]] and [[Snapdragon (G1)|Snapdragon]]. Despite the duo's schemes, the Autobots were able to send the Decepticons packing. {{storylink|False Alarm}}

[[File:G1-toy Streetwise.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Come on. Rub my symbol. You know you want to.]]
*'''Streetwise''' (Protectobot, 1986/1992)
**''Team ID number'': '''P1'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''C-73'''
**''Accessories'': "Photon pistol", "Double-mounted air-compressor cannon"

:Streetwise transforms into a Nissan 300ZX Turbo police car. In car mode, he has a large, rear-mounted, double-barreled cannon accessory. He can also form a limb of any [[Scramble City (toyline)|Scramble City]]-style combiner, but his usual place is as [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]]'s left leg.

:This mold is unusual (but not unique, see Lightspeed and Afterburner) amongst Scramble City-style combiner limbs in that he has a "normal" robot head that does not also function as a connector peg; instead he features a fold-out connector peg to attach him to Hot Spot. He is also unique amongst the Protectobots in that he is the only one who does not have a "second wave" variation, as well as the only limb-bot whose pistol doesn't have a horizontal grip.

:Streetwise and the other Protectobots were re-released in 1992 as part of the [[Europe]]an-market ''[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]'' line. His [[rubsign]] indent has been filled in for this release.

:This mold was also used to make ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Operation Combination (toyline)|Operation Combination]]'' [[Streetstar]].

:All five Protectobots were made available in many markets as a complete [[giftset]] as well as on individual cards/boxes. It is unknown which versions of the toys are in the multipack, metal parts or plastic.

: In 1988, [[GiG]] also re-released the Defensor set in [[Italy]], with five random "Exogini Transformers" ([[Decoy]]s) added.

*'''Streetwise''' (Unreleased)
**''Team ID number'': '''P4'''
**''Accessories'': "Photon pistol", double-barreled cannon

:Streetwise and the other Protectobots were slated to be [[redeco]]ed and re-released as part of the [[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|''Generation 2'' toyline]]. However, they and the redecoed [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]] were canceled, with less than a half-dozen production samples of each mold known to exist (save the [[BotCon 1994]] [[Breakdown (G1)|Breakdown]], of course). The reason for the cancellation is unclear; it's possible they were considered redundant product due to the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbot]] and [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticon]] re-releases, especially since [[Hasbro]] was putting out entirely new-mold Transformers then, and would most likely have wanted ''those'' to have as much shelf space in toy aisles as possible.

*'''Protectobots Emergency Response''' (three-pack, 2014)
:''[[Transformers (2014 toyline)|Transformers]]'' "Protectobot Streetsmart" is a redeco of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Prime]]: [[Beast Hunters (toyline)|Beast Hunters]]'' Deluxe Class [[Prowl (WFC)#Beast Hunters|Prowl]], himself a retool of the original ''Beast Hunters'' Deluxe Class [[Smokescreen (Prime)#Deluxe Class|Smokescreen]]. A few parts of the toy (most obviously his head) retain Prowl's black paint operations, but most of the toy is white and light gray plastic, with some scattered blue areas.

:Streetsmart is only available in three-pack with [[First Aid (G1)#Transformers (2014)|Protectobot First Aid]] and [[Groove (G1)#Transformers (2014)|Protectobot Groove]], which was released as a [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive in Hasbro's Asian markets, while in the United States, it was officially an [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] exclusive that was later also stocked by other online retailers such as [[BigBadToyStore]] for a hefty markup.

===Generations===
[[File:CombinerWarstoy-Streetwise.jpg|upright=1.67|right|thumb|I refuse to share a mold with criminal scum!!]]
*'''Protectobot Streetwise''' (Deluxe, 2015)
**'''5 of 5: [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]]'''
**Accessories: triple-barreled shotgun, double-barreled gun/fist/foot
:"Protectobot Streetwise" (yes, he got his name back) is an extensive retool of [[Dead End (G1)#Generations)|Dead End]] (basically a complete reshell that only retains the [[robot mode]] torso and some other minor parts) that transforms into an R35 Nissan GTR police car, which is a very, ''very'' sleek police car. Instead of the muffler/beatstick, Streetwise comes with a shotgun with three barrels. Unlike the other Deluxe Protectobots, who are molded in a crisp white, Streetwise is molded in a more cream-colored plastic. He can combine with any Voyager Class toys released as part of the ''Combiner Wars''/''Unite Warriors'' lines or with Legends Godbomber and form either an arm or a leg for the gestalt form, but is supposed to combine with [[Hot Spot (G1)#Combiner Wars|Hot Spot]], [[First Aid (G1)#Generations|First Aid]], [[Blades (G1)#Generations|Blades]], and new member [[Rook (Generations)#Generations|Rook]] to form [[Defensor (G1)#Generations|Defensor]] (with [[Groove (G1)#Generations|Groove]] now serving as a chest piece). Care needs to be taken when transforming to and from leg mode, as the hinge that folds the hood back may be extremely stiff and the thin tab that connects the hood with the rest of the figure may break if too much force is placed on it. Care should also be taken not to lose the swinging combined hinge on his leg, which tends to be looser than that of Dead End and likes to pop off.

:This version of the mold was retooled into [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Generations|Prowl]] and [[Smokescreen (G1)/toys#Generations|Smokescreen]].

:The version of Streetwise released in the United States, Australia, and Hasbro's Asian markets comes with a copy of ''Combiner Wars'' #9 (actually [[The World of Tomorrow|''The Transformers'' #33]]). In Canada, Latin America, and Europe, the toy includes a collector card featuring artwork from the "[[False Alarm]]" episode of the ''[[Transformers Legends (mobile game)|Transformers Legends]]'' mobile game instead.

**''ID number'': '''UW-03'''
:Takara's iteration of ''Combiner Wars'' Defensor is sold in a gift set including the five original Protectobots, with Groove (as a new Deluxe-sized mold) included instead of Rook. This Streetwise features a deco closely resembling his animation model, with the ''Combiner Wars'' version's eggshell-white plastic replaced with a more muted gray.

:''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'' Guardian was released as a [[TakaraTomy Mall]] exclusive, rather than being a regular release. Preorders were open from May 25 to July 6, and it was shipped December 2015.

==Merchandise==
===G Guardian===
*'''Streetwise''' (Candy toy, 2012)
:Streetwise is a snap-together [[candy toy]] model kit produced by [[Kabaya]] for their [[Gaia Guardian|G Guardian]] series, coming in an individual box packed with a stick of (chalky) gum. He can combine with his five wave-mates to form [[Gaia Guardian]]. He, along with Graze, Groove, and First Aid, can also combine with Kabaya's [[Transformers Gum]] Hot Spot to form [[Defensor (G1)|Guardian]]. G Guardian's [[Heatrock]] and [[Skyfeather]] attach to Guardian to create [[God Guardian]].

==Notes==
[[File:ArmadaCameos-RedRoom.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Ahhhh .. Freak out! Le Freak—c'est chic ... Freak out!]]
*Streetwise's animation model appears in the ''[[Transformers: Armada (cartoon)|Armada]]'' episode "[[First Encounter]]" as a "generic" Cybertronian at (presumably) Autobot HQ, alongside [[Wideload (G1)|Wideload]], [[Landmine (G1)|Landmine]]/[[Lander]], and [[Sixknight]]. He is only seen from the back and pretty heavily recolored, making him hard to identify.
*Streetwise suddenly got his name changed to "Streetstar" the day after his [[BotCon 2010]] toy was unveiled. [[Pete Sinclair]] quickly put out the flames of Wiki Uncertainty (TM) by letting everyone know that Streetstar was still Streetwise, and not some other character or some amalgamation of the two.
*Streetwise's Shaft-esque personality in the BotCon 2010 comic is apparently the fault of this article.
