Universe Silverstreak Let's not beat around the bush, we all know it's Bluestreak. This take the Prowl mold we reviewed at tmukhub.proboards75.com/index.cgi?board=toysmerch&action=display&thread=1289 or Phil's Prowl Review and repaints it. The car mode is basically silver - similar to the silver used on Energon Hotshot - with the back window, roof and bonnet painted black. Gone is the lightbar on top of the car revealing the sunroof - which was there on the original. The bumper stay black but now has a silver insert and the Autobot symbol is moved forward. The windows have a slight blue shade to them. TF is the same as Prowl but what I didn't notice on Prowl was that the ankles slide down inside the legs slightly allowing a little sideways movement at the ankle. Having dug Prowl out I find this is because the ankles were much stiffer on Prowl than Silverstreak. The robot mode reveals red upper legs and shoulders, silver/grey forearms, black fists, elbow joints and waist. The waist has some silver detailing down the front with some blue to the sides. Head is grey with a red crest, white face and blue lightpiping. The molded in missiles & launchers are molded in red plastic, but the missiles themselves are painted silver grey this time, and the gun is molded in the same colour. Bluestreak is an obviouys Prowl repaint, and they've done a very decent job here, hit the nail on the head. Repaints: Smokescreen is coming !

Does it have the sticky roof/door problem that Prowl has?

Mine doesn't but I didn't notice it on my Prowl. It is a different sort of clear plastic used though !

* Goes and gets Prowl *
Ah! Ankle movement that also makes him slightly taller! Very cool indeed. I like the look of Silver/Bluestreak much more than Prowl so this is one repaint I'm definitely after. Roll on Smokescreen too.
