Just received Streak in hand. Paint is perfect, and man is he awesome. So many nice little mold differences from Prowl (even the back of the helmet is different). Just fantastic.

 

My Prowls back right wheel has the same problem..

 

My MP Prowl has that with his left wheel as well. It seems to rub on the wheel well somewhere. But if I fiddle with it a bit, it goes away and rolls just fine. MP Bluestreak doesn't have this issue.

Yup, mine seems to be very well made and painted. No slop, scratches, or bleeds. I was worried most about the shiny black hood. Thankfully, that came out well on mine.

I've always liked Bluestreak, but I was never really crazy about him. He was just sort of "there" among the other Autobots. So was Sunstreaker, but at least I have more of an attachment to him for other reasons. But I have to say, after holding and transforming MP Bluestreak today (I got him this afternoon), he's really grown on me. I have a G1 TRU reissue of the toy as well. But this MP somehow brings out a lot more with this guy than the G1 toy does. At least for me. I've always liked Smokescreen the most, then Prowl, and then Bluestreak. But now, I think Prowl has been demoted to #3. Still a GREAT MP though.  

 

I don't know why factories do this----a tiny little chip or hairline scratch looks 10x better and is far harder to see, than a big 3-dimensional BLOB of paint on top trying to "fix" it. Just leave it alone! The fix is uglier than the flaw.

 

As a small kid, I always like Bluestreak,hence loving this MP18

 

So true. It was a blob and a streak (no pun intended) of silver paint that didn't match the spray painted parts. It caught the light differently too and it irked me so much. Streak's vehicle mode looks so good that I couldn't live with the blemish.

 

Can't wait to own all 3 Datsun brothers,cool

 

Would anyone be willing to scan and upload a copy of the transformation instructions that come with him? It would be super appreciated!
