| Not much is known about the enigma that is '''Bluestreak''' (ブルーストリーク ''Burūsutorīku''). He looks like [[Bluestreak (G1)|Bluestreak]] and operates alone in [[Asia]], where he blends seamlessly into [[human]] society and is rarely seen in robot mode. He specializes in mid- to long-range combat and isn't daunted by the prospect of fighting multiple opponents at once.

| | |
| He has been seen fighting [[Waruder|giant insects]].

| : 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)#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 market figure, then, has a different codename than the Autobot who Westerners traditionally think of as Bluestreak. His bio goes further to establish "Bluestreak" as a distinct character from "Streak".
| |
| * "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.
