Talk:Silverstreak

I'm really questioning why this was split out in the first place? Saix (talk) 12:05, 2 August 2023 (EDT)

Agreed. Both the designer commentary and the Pulse listing cited make it pretty clear that this is G1 Bluestreak. --Thylacine 2000 (talk) 12:42, 2 August 2023 (EDT)

Uh, that is not how I read Mark Maher's commentary on Instagram. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 15:18, 2 August 2023 (EDT)

Another vote against splitting this out. Considering Mark Maher's commentary mentions CAD renders and such, it's not like he was speaking "in universe", just specifically about the toy itself.MCRG (talk) 15:48, 2 August 2023 (EDT)

That’s how I read it. And it’s annoying that this toy is buried here instead of being at the logical spot based on nothing more than ambiguous designer notes. There’s more supporting IDW “Silverstreak” being a different guy than this. Saix (talk) 17:01, 2 August 2023 (EDT)

While the Silverstreak debate continues, I have restored an entry on Bluestreak's toy page for informational purposes. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 17:45, 2 August 2023 (EDT)

Mark talking about "characters" absolutely makes it sound like he thinks of Silverstreak as a different character rather than a new count of paint on Bluestreak, but at the same time I agree this toy should be on Bluestreak's page as well. --Riptide (talk) 18:24, 2 August 2023 (EDT)

Whereas the official product copy thinks he's Bluestreak, if we're taking the references to the cartoon literally. Saix (talk) 18:52, 2 August 2023 (EDT)

So are we weighing (disputed) implied designer intent over formal corporate sources? MCRG (talk) 12:07, 3 August 2023 (EDT)

I provided citations for all the sources I was working with beyond the ready availability of the "Bluestreak" trademark when I made the page, so do what you will with the evidence from there I suppose. --AzimuthAcolyte (talk) 15:35, 2 August 2023 (EDT)

Another vote against this page. --M Sipher (talk) 06:11, 3 August 2023 (EDT)
