MP18S Masterpiece (Silver)Streak repaint JP exclusive

[Sinnertwin]

FML. Bluestreak, Silverstreak, who gives a flying crap anymore? Im sick of reading the same tripe over & over.

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

Someone told me the Japanese readings there are stating this as Silverstreak.
Goki can verify maybe, but anyhow, it is what it is.

im pretty sure it is - being all silver. its supposed to be based on the original g1 toy.



the previous release was the cartoon version.

The text does call it Silverstreak.

Blue streak wasn't blue though was he?

[drifand]

Ur this was from a Japanese friend who was asking. Not arguing here, but he did ask wasn't the order in most shop stated blue streak?

I do know there is no difference here, just saying it has confused the crap out of a lot of people. Some has gone with the mp-18b .

Like said it is what it is.

Just because a Streak has a colour in his name, it doesn't mean that colour is the colour of the toy. In 1984, Bluestreak was silver. In 2004, Silverstreak was blue (i.e. the Spychanger). Silverbolts have been silver, blue, gold, red, pink, purple and white, but nobody was ever confused when they weren't called Bluebolt, Goldbolt, Redbolt, Pinkbolt, Purplebolt and Whitebolt. These are names. I'm sure Honor Blackman hasn't spent her life having to defend the fact that she's actually a white woman.

Not disagreeing, but Japanese transformers line products have known to be Bluestreak with blue. Same as Optimus is Convoy.

In anyway, I already know this, but because someone read that page and asked me "It says Silverstreak" and what is ordered is "Blue streak" that isn't it.

End of the day, is a let down. For those who can cancel this and was expecting the Diaclone, I suggest you do so.

please remember to differentiate your "expert" knowledge and understand some of the general consumer behaviour.

The paint work looks matt from the picture, I am not sure is dull silver rather than a glossy version we had for Streak mp.

[Tfiguy]

man that so disappointing... after releasing something like G2 sideswipe , I was expecting a nice Blue one !

...same

Bluestreak is called Streak (ストリーク) in Japan. No colour in front of that name.
G1 Streak
Collector's Edition reissue Streak
Binaltech Streak
Masterpiece Streak

Henkei Bluestreak was called Cybertron Streak, which I'm guessing was done for trademark reasons (like how Hasbro's Ratchet toys are called "Autobot Ratchet"). AFAIK the only Japanese Bluestreak toy that was actually called "Bluestreak" was the blue version of BT Streak; which was basically done to differentiate that toy from the regular BT03 Streak toy.

So "Streak" is the Japanese name for "Bluestreak," as "Convoy" is for "Optimus Prime."

Such a missed opportunity IMO, should've been Diaclone Blue.
