This article is about the Generation 2 character. For the Transformers One character, see Speedstream (One){{#switch:{{#sub:Speedstream (One)|-1}}|!=|.=|?=|.}} For a list of other meanings, see Slipstream (disambiguation).
Speedstream is an Autobot Aquaspeeder from the Generation 1 continuity family.
It can super-speed stream on the course (but can it prosecute salvation ploy on the air?)

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.

Fiction

[edit]

The Official Transformers: Generation 2 Annual

[edit]

As part of a plan devised by Prowl, Slipstream [sic] and the other Autobots were stationed at Table Mountain in Africa to defend a newly discovered spaceship with the power to return them to Cybertron. He was astonished by the rapid arrival of the Decepticon ground forces, and converted to his racing car mode to confront them. But after a brief skirmish, the Autobots made themselves scarce and allowed the Decepticons to claim their prize. The Autobots then sprung their trap; the Decepticons were locked within the prop-ship, which blasted off uncontrollably away from the planet. Day of the Decepticons

Unite Warriors

[edit]

Speedstream, with other Autobots, oversaw an attempt to wipe the Combatrons' Destronger programming. However, before they could be reprogrammed, Unicron interrupted the process and whisked away the Combatrons. Ruination Chapter, Part One

The Transformers

[edit]
  • Speedstream (Aquaspeeder, 1993)
Speedstream transforms into a blue and white Formula 1-style race car, seemingly based on the [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}File:Williams FW14B.jpg|{{#if:Williams FW14|Williams FW14|File:Williams FW14B.jpg}}]]. 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. Hilariously, his "sponsor" stickers advertise not only Hasbro itself, but also Milton Bradley.
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.
