Talk:Bluestreak (G1)

I'd like to say, I dont' find footnotes to be a very friendly way of linking to stories. You have to click on them, which take you tot he footnote, whichtthen takes you to the story. If you're doing liek I often do, and openign in new tab, when you finally go back to the tab, you're presented witht eh Footnotes section. "Which # did I click on to get here agaain? Uh..."

I think we discussed the use of footnotes as storylinks forever ago and siscarded it for just that reason. (Plus, with a character liek Optimus Prime, you could have hundreds such footnotes.) I've used footnotes elsewhere on the wiki to properly document obscure sources. -Derik 00:48, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

IDW Bluestreak and Silverstreak - different characters?

Wait, they're two different characters now? Walky is going by what Andy Schmidt said... somewhere. So we're now going by the word of an editor whom we have previously made fun of for his problems with remembering events and continuity? --FFN 10:00, 16 May 2010 (EDT)

The confusion has made it onto the printed page, unfortunately. Diaclone-colored Bluestreak appeared occasionally pre-AHM. Sunbow-colored Silverstreak has appeared in the ongoing post-AHM. But a Diaclone-colored "Streak", unnamed, appeared in The Transformers: Bumblebee at several times, after Silverstreak left with Rodimus's team. And, just to make things more interesting, the Diaclone-colored model appeared in The Transformers: Ironhide this week, called Silverstreak. --Xaaron 10:42, 16 May 2010 (EDT)

I found this on the forum. http://forum.idwpublishing.com/viewtopic.php?t=3324&start=180&sid=c01e01f8e99247b138deb380551c3431. If they're separate characters, we therefore need to have a Silverstreak (IDW) section and split off Bluestreak's idw section into his section and Silverstreak's. If you think that Andy's word is enough. User: Eire 16 May 2010 (UTC)

But didn't everybody look different in the Bumblebee comic? --Crockalley 12:23, 16 May 2010 (EDT)

Yes, they did, but fact remains the silver Bluestreak left with Rodimus' team, therefore he shouldn't be present in the Bumblebee comic at all. Isn't there any way to fanwank this as the blue one being a miscolored Smokescreen? --Detour 12:30, 16 May 2010 (EDT)

But look at IDW Goldbug, he's a separate character from Bumblebee. --97.94.161.37 16:44, 17 July 2011 (EDT)

This isn't something IDW made up, strictly. Do you guys remember Alternators Camshaft? Stolen samples put "BLUESTREAK" on his license plate, and Aaron Archer (or Eric?) said that, in reference to this, they thought it'd be fun to make them different guys. Mind, that causes the wiki SO many headaches. Are all Silverstreaks Silverstreak, or are some of them Bluestreak? Do they share the same tech spec? --ItsWalky 13:12, 16 May 2010 (EDT)

Main image

Horrible. I would really like a cleaned-up version of the "Anime Streak"/Hasbro Collector's Edition Bluestreak boxart as the main image here, if we can get one. Paging Derik... -LV 01:32, 22 June 2013 (EDT)

Think Henkei Bluestreak's packaging art would suffice? --Lonegamer78 05:37, 22 June 2013 (EDT)

If I thought that would fly, I would have uploaded TF Legends "Silverstreak" art instead - it's much better and in the right colours, but it's based on his CHUG toy, not his 1984 character model. And the going rule is apparently that it needs to be the character's first body in fiction. [Which ruled Blue Bluestreak out!] - SanityOrMadness 07:15, 22 June 2013 (EDT)

I doubt the policy was intended to disallow a character's original bio art. Bios are fiction. - Starfield 16:41, 23 June 2013 (EDT)
