[@dracosodozir7607]

To all who are asking why Bluestreak has no blue, that's not why he's called Bluestreak. It's a reference to the character's distinctive rapid speech pattern and his tendency to be a bit of a chatterbox. Anybody ever heard the term "talking up a blue streak" before? That's why he's called Bluestreak. It's not the color, it's the way the character talks. Thank you for your time.

I like them all, but definitely the siege versions have bad proportions with the legs, that being said, it is their only flaw.

[@MahriKing14]

"Just wait till my idea for the next year where we make everythign exclusives!" as an european this punched me in the gut

[@Varatho]

IMO, Baracade has the best look for this mold. The Black and Purple is slick.

[@cheifchimney5392]

Hasbro should hire you to make figures for them because that prowl looks way better without the transparent parts

[@KRBrickBot]

8:03 Personally I prefer to plug the guns into their magazine clips so that they sit flatter on the car hood.

[@fujitamakos8884]

one small thing i love about this mold is you can fully transform these figures without removing any of the weapons ported on the hood and back they come with. plus i know many have been saying it but takara/hasbro have been nailing the mini masterpiece on a budget lately these figures transform very similiarly on a watered down varient to the masterpiece.

[@silhouettoofaman2935]

Heck, probably better than Masterpiece. I'll take lack of painted detail over...whatever's going on with MP Bee 2.0 any day of the week!

I've been modifying Siege Barricade with a stronger bumper and a front windshield central pillar (which was something I did by accident due to a pin removal mishap, though the end result is still alien as there's no other pillars on the car otherwise), as well as fixing some fit issues with his legs.

[@Vincent-396]

I like how you switched between figures through the transformation. Nice work.

[@ModelsExInferis]

With respect at least Hasbro attempted to get figures into shops in the USA and Canada so you had the opportunity, no matter how slim, to actually buy them. In the UK we've basically been told to do one and that our money is no good! Of the three only Prowl was available here, the other two we had to import or get from speciality shops if we were lucky enough to be online for the 30 seconds they were in stock for. I'd love Bluestreak and Smokescreen but I'm unlikely to ever own them unless I sell a kidney. I love the stop-motion by the way. 🙂

[@TheLazyEyebrow]

yeah that's a genuinely fair point

hate to burst your bubble but.... I really did, everything you see here was obtained in the last 12 months

[@hyperdimensionbliss]

"It really doesn't make sense that they specifically made him the Japanese police car colour scheme." Well here's the thing. That's how Prowl looks both in the G1 toyline and show, so if they didn't have it, people would be crying and whining about the scheme not being G1 accurate.

[@TheLazyEyebrow]

Yeah, probably

[@NightmareZerogbs]

Great review as always! But that staff meeting felt too real :( That sound you hear in the distance is Siege Barricade crying over being left out.

All I'm gonna say, best version of this specific mold is Barricade (Though Bluestreak is close tying). Usually I hate straight transplants from one series to another... but Barricade is the exception of that rule.

[@TFanPage101]

Oh man, an optional accessory. Key word 'optional'

[@adamage13]

17:54 Because they are really trying to get as accurate as they can with scale, the cost is essentially spread out among the waves, allowing larger figures like Hoist to be made at Deluxe pricing by utilizing smaller figures like Cliffjumper at that price point.

[@Storm1A11A]

No joke, when Walmart was having the 35th anniversary figures, my Walmart legitimately had about 30 Bluestreaks. I never did buy one for some reason and they eventually all disappeared. I have seen some showed up at a local toy store but for the most part, there just disappeared. I did get two Cell shaded Prime and a Megs as well as Soundblaster.

One fun thing that wasn't mentioned is the rifle has a little square peg that lets it peg into the top of Prowl's lightbar, rather than having to put the lightbar on the rifle. I shuffled around some accessories so Barricade has Bluestreak's rifle, Bluestreak has Con Mirage's gun, Con Mirage has Hotlink's nullrays, and Hotlink just mounts his targetmasters on his arms.

[@TheLazyEyebrow]

It's funny, I actually filmed that and then forgot to put it in the script

[@davebowes4675]

The whole point of this version of Smokescreen is he's a repaint of siege Prowl in G1 Smokescreen colours. That's the point.... rather than being a new colour scheme..... its for G1 fan boys/girls. Rather than a new version of said character. And Wow BlueStreak looks slick!

[@AgaiLazen]

Hot Take: These three are the Autobot equivalent to Seekers

[@CardboardBots]

Well that was a novel treat. Great way to review the mold by switching between them often. Excellent commentary on the use of "exclusives". My OCD alarm is incredibly sensitive to folks who repaint their toys. I don't think I'll ever get comfortable with that. Nice to see you animate the camera change of perspective, it's a subtle touch.

[@TheLazyEyebrow]

thought I'd try doing it this time. onion skinning and specific lock points on the tripod make it a little easier to do

[@SwiftpawWolffox]

Bluestreak is the only one of these three I bought, and by far the best looking of the three. Especially in vehicle mode. Much for the same reasons you covered, especially towards Smokescreen. Smokescreen's red and blue just don't balance out well on this mold, because there's not enough of a cab to color, so the red/blue unbalance disrupts the otherwise sleek look to me. Bluestreak's black is more moderate and lines up with the smokey translucent cab, maintaining the sleek and futuristic alternate world look. The only other version of this mold I got was Barricade, because **** yes finally a G1-style bad cop Barricade.

[@TransforceMLP]

I only snagged Barricade, as I don't have many Decepticons in my collection, and MAN was I satisfied. Since it uses the Bluestreak head, he essentially can only rotate his head with that 5chin in the way. But I'm happy to have at least gotten one of these molds either way. And a bit lucky to get the preorder on Earthrise Prowl and Ironhide. Maybe I should actually take advantage of Toyhax and buy the labels for Barricade?

[@thelorebrarian2266]

Don't want to start arguments, but I think the whole point of the siege line was more for the people that grew up with the unicron trilogy(cybertron mostly), and the War for Cybertron games(that would explain why galaxy Optimus made an reappearance). Since those had a more cyber like theme. Earthrise is for the OG G1 fans, and fans of that era. Last, but far from least, Kingdom is for the Beast wars kids.
