- Speedstream is an Autobot Aquaspeeder from the toyline portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
The leader of the Aquaspeeders, Speedstream hasn't got time for fancy speeches and flashy action. Straight and to the point, that's his method, whether it's in combat or conversation. One would think that this might alienate him from his fellow Autobots, but far from it. Speedstream may be straightforward, but he's no jerk about it, plus his attitude is tempered with a brilliant mind always thinking of the future ramifications of his actions today. His troops will happily follow him into the nastiest situations, confident he'll get them out again victorious.
Toys
Generation 1
- Speedstream (Aquaspeeder, 1993)
- Accessories: Water cannon
- Speedstream transforms into a blue and white Indy style race car, seemingly based on the Williams FW14. His front half is covered in temperature-sensitive paint, changing color when hit with warm water. His weapon is a single-barreled water pistol formed from his car-mode spoiler/engine.
- Speedstream was only available in various European markets during the two-year "transitional" period marking the changeover from the original toyline to Generation 2; in the original line's final year (1993), the toys were given redesigned Autobot and Decepticon symbols, but it wasn't until 1994 that "Generation 2" appeared on the packaging.
- This mold was also used to make the Generation 2 Decepticon Color Changer Deluge.
Generation 2
- Speedstream (Aquaspeeder, 1994)
- Accessories: Water cannon
- This release is identical to the original, only this time in packaging specifically branded "Generation 2".
Notes
- Speedstream seems to have been deprived of his only appearance in Transformers fiction by a misspelling. The error-ridden text story "Day of the Decepticons" mentions Slipstream, a character not found in any other media, instead.
