| Not much is known about the enigma dubbed '''Bluestreak''' (ブルーストリーク ''Burūsutorīku'')—so little, in fact, that he is considered an urban legend by most. Word of him first emerged when it was claimed he was seen battling a [[Waruder|huge insect]] in [[Asia]]; subsequent scattered reports from throughout the region agreed that he resembled the Autobot warrior [[Bluestreak (G1)|Bluestreak]], but the Autobots themselves have been unable to confirm this and, at present, deny that this strange robot even exists. He rarely appears in robot form, seamlessly blending into society, and specializes in mid- to long-range combat, undaunted by the prospect of fighting multiple opponents at once.

| : Bluestreak is a redeco of [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|MP-18 Streak]], a retool of [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|MP-17 Prowl]], in colors based on the blue ''[[Diaclone]]'' Fairlady Z. He transforms into a licensed Nissan Fairlady 280Z-T. Varying from previous releases, Bluestreak uses Prowl's head and waist rather than Streak's, but uses Streak's car mode roof. Roughly as tall as a [[Size class|Voyager Class]] figure, he is also in [[scale]] with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#mp10|MP-10 Optimus Prime]], and can fit inside [[Combat Deck (G1)#mp10|Prime's trailer]] in vehicle mode. In contrast to previous larger entries in this line, Bluestreak lacks [[die-cast]] parts, and his tires are cast in hard, non-rubberized plastic.

| :For accessories, he comes with his rifle, which can be held with his hands, or can mount onto a flip-out mounting point on his roof via the separate peg on its jointed handle. He also comes with a pair of built-in "Electro Bolt" shoulder cannons that can be deployed in robot mode. He also includes two non-firing missile launchers that clip onto his built-in shoulder cannons.

| :This mold was also redecoed and retooled into MP-19 [[Smokescreen_(G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Smokescreen]].

| * The [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]] character known as "Bluestreak" in America is known simply as "Streak" (ストリーク ''Sutorīku'') in Japan. This Japanese figure, then, is literally a "blue Streak", and his bio even notes that this is the in-universe origin of this doppelganger's name!
| |
| * "Blue Bluestreak" has a storied history in relation to ''Transformers''. Whilst the [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]] Bluestreak toy featured an all-new silver deco, his [[package art]] and [[instructions]] featured a silver and blue deco, one of two color schemes that the figure sported in its original incarnation as a ''[[Diaclone]]'' toy. Between this and the character being called, well, ''Blue''streak, it subsequently became a widespread [[Misconceptions and urban legends about Transformers|myth]] that this blue variant was actually sold as Bluestreak under the ''Transformers'' brand. Since then, there have been numerous [[homage]]s to the legendary "Blue Bluestreak" deco in toy form, both as the original ''Generation 1'' Bluestreak character (some of them also under the name "Silverstreak" due to the name "Bluestreak" being unavailable as a [[trademark]] for a while) and as [[Bluestreak (Speed Stars)|alternate]] [[Bluestreak (Prime)|universe]] [[Bluestreak (Kre-O)|counterparts]].
