    They’re already taking cues from MP figures and simplifying them I wouldn’t mind a couple more micromaster cassette with a similar transformation to MPs

    I've owned several Prowls but never a Bluestreak. Owning will be a nice change of pace.

    I was hoping for shoulder missiles for Bluestreak. Guess I'll have to wait and see if a 3rd party steps up.

    Sweet! If I don't have to jump through hoops to get him, I will buy one! :) 

    Otherwise he'll just get added to my "2019 Why you gotta make it so hard to take my money? and eff you ebay" list. :p o_O

    About time he got some love. Everyone overlooks the guy, but take a look at his tech specs. He\'s got nearly MAXED firepower and endurance. He should have been a tank, not a Datsun!

    I can't hang with the bad clear wheels on that mold, they just don't look good, the whole swath of black from his hood bra to his knees only broken up by a few bits of yellow looks awful. The window shins, I'm just not quite feeling it. The over all deco on paper isn't necessary bad, it's mostly lack of detail perhaps.

    This is cool but I hope we get an actual blue Bluestreak. I can call this one Silverstreak.

    He comes with the same shoulder cannons that Barricade does...

    I was hoping for the G1 missile style.

    I see.
    They are a bit small, but Toyhax/Reprolabel made some missile launchers for Prowl. If/When they do a Bluestreak set they will probably also include them in Bluestreak's proper red/silver colors.

    Thanks. I'm hoping that Nonnef makes some things soon. I much prefer his stuff over 3D printed.

    With any luck, Toyhax will roll out some aftermarket stickers to fix everyone's favorite police house slipper.

    Not necessarily. I mean, it seems like just about any online store can get generations selects (redwing being the outlier so far), Walmart.com even has a few of them, yet it doesn’t seem like Walmart has much say when preorders go up for those. It all depends on where and how these things will be sold

    I dont understand the 3D print phase. Everything looks like it’s covered in fuzz. It looks terrible. I’ve seen the stuff and I commend the people designing it all but it looks fuzzy and it’s just the how it’s made.

    The prowl missiles arnt awful. I do like them but I had to glue them together which still didn’t work. I don’t know why but model glue doesn’t grasp on to the material and I had to dab a little and dry where they insert on prowl because they so loose.

    I don’t think they look bad and they’re small enough to avoid that “fuzzy” look.

    They do complete his look if you want a toy/comic prowl

    I imagine toyhax will make launchers faithful to bluestreak

    I prefer Nonnef too, but Toyhax/Reprolabels does injection molding, not 3D printing. You can tell because most of their upgrade parts still have the mold flashing you have to cut off.
