Who's the black-and-white Protectobot
That knows every street and parking lot?
STREETWISE!
Ya damn right!
And who is the bot that would risk his spark
For his brother bots?
STREETWISE!
Can you dig it?
What interceptor won't back down
Till his target's run to ground?
STREETWISE!
Right on!
They say this cop car is a bad mother-
SHUT YOUR MOUTH!
I'm just talking about Streetwise!
We can dig it!
He's a combination bot
But no one gets to use him but Defensor.
STREETWISE!

Generation 1
- Streetwise (Protectobot, 1988)
- Japanese ID number: C-73
- Streetwise transforms into a Nissan 300ZX Turbo police car. In car mode, he has a large rear-mounted double-barrled cannon accessory. He can also form a limb of any Scramble City-style combiner, but his usual place is as Defensor's left leg. He was avalible both on an individual card or as part of the Defensor giftset.
- This mold was also used to make Streetstar.
Unreleased
- Streetwise and the other Protectobots were slated to be redecoed and re-released as part of the Generation 2 toyline. However, they and the redecoed Stunticons were cancelled, with less than a half-dozen production samples of each mold known to exist (save the BotCon 1994 Breakdown, of course). The reason for the cancellation is unclear: it's possible they were considered redundant product due to the Aerialbot and Combaticon re-releases, especially since Hasbro was putting out entirely new-mold Transformers then, and would most likely want those to have as much shelf space in toy aisles as possible.
