This toyline is getting really confusing (and frustrating for collectors like me, as it is not a regular retail line, so each item is not guaranteed for release here).
The line doesn't seem to focus on Bumblebee with the majority of the toys, and it is starting to have way too many new moulds and decos, for a line that was pretty much just as re-release line in themed packaging.
Also, this is the type of toy that should have been in GEN Selects, especially with the theme of the first two for this year being pre-Transformers decos (with the red Hoist and black Ironhide). A blue Bluestreak would have been perfect in that series and toy display.
And what happened to the name? Did they lose the trademark again? We rarely get the blue deco to Bluestreak, and when we do finally get one, they don't name it right.
Bluestreak has now been found at retail in the US as well.

A couple things noticed - the instructions have the Legacy logo, so might have originally been planned for the Legacy toyline, or at least, it lets collectors know that it is meant to be part of the Legacy theme, but just in different packaging to highlight it as an exclusive to a particular retailer.
It also has the prefix "Autobot" before its name, suggesting that Hasbro has lost the trademark for "Silverstreak", which makes it even more confusing that they didn't call it Bluestreak (which they should still have the rights to).

Also to note, one of the sources of photos has already obtained the black Ironhide GEN Selects toy, which I don't think has yet been released anywhere officially yet... but could be in the hands of retailers, as it was listed for April 1st here, which is less than 2 weeks away.

I don't think this is coming here.
