Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers
- Guard City (Multi-pack, 1992)
- ID number: TF-04
- Accessories: Pistol, double-barreled cannon
- Released in the Operation Combination portion of the original Takara, Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers toyline, Streetstar is a redeco of the original Streetwise, transforming into a Nissan 300ZX Turbo police car. He is almost identical to Streetwise, but he has a much brighter white plastic and different decals. Since he uses the Scramble City style of combination, he can form the limb of any super robot combination, though his nominal placement is as the left arm of Guard City. This mold is unique 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 Fire Chief.
- He was only available as a part of the complete Guard City box set, along with Fire Chief, Fly-Up, Safety, and Sparkride. As one of the very last releases of the Japanese Transformers line, at a time when pretty much everyone had stopped buying Transformers, even a loose set of the team can demand prices over a thousand dollars.
Notes
- None of the Guard City components were given individual bios. This was actually very common by this point in the Takara Transformers line, which was loaded up with multi-packs (mainly of Micromasters) where the singular on-package bio would cover the entire team, and there was very little fiction to even attempt to highlight anyone beyond "hey cool robot that fights good".
