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.
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.
Okay so first off, the joke about everything this year being exclusives was golden. Love it! Second, there are like four Bluestreaks just chilling at my Walmart. Do you want any of them?
I know he isn't an autobot but i was hoping barricade as well in this review, the bad cop parter of prowl would've been cool to see At least i hope barricade also gets his earthrise mode like this 3 guys, barry has a nice paint job that also makes the mold pop
-And they even gave him another slightly unique headsculpt (at least, I think it's different from Smokescreen's).- Edit: nope, see below. But at least they got another chance to use that head I guess.
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.
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.
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. 🙂
Love that at 16:55, the headlights and and taillights and light bar are illuminated and staggering right to left just like a cop cars light bar would do.
"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.
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.
I may be late to comment this, but I don’t recommend changing around Prowl’s light bar a lot. The clear plastic on my siege Prowl that is the port on the top for the car mode has a crack. I just hoped you knew about this
I kind of wish the Earthrise Smokescreen has come with the Prowl recolour head just for the option of popping it off and on but oh well, I guess I’ll just have to find another siege prowl and use it. Also am I the only one bugged by the white back of prowl barely covered up by the black ab piece. I painted it black from the bottom to the cut off and now I think it looks great. Oh, great review by the way, not many of the “essayists” have touched this mould
Yo eyebrow, tell ‘em where you from! Straight outta Moncton, another cool ass reviewer, doing stop motion instead of putting my hands in the shots, of course I can rap, I’m Canadian not dumb, Canadians have TH-cam too!
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.
I like your paint job!! I never got Siege Prowl because I too hated the clear plastic wheels. I always figured this body style was more of a Nissan concept car than a Jaguar, but I can understand your view. Last thing: my G1 Prowl had shoulder cannons so.. why not here?
I never got the Prowl figure, but I do have Bluestreak and Smokescreen, I found my copy of Bluestreak at a walmat in my home state of Texas in the beginning of this year, and I found Smokescreen several months later at my local Gamestop, I am hoping to get the Earthrise Prowl figure alongside Earthrise Ironhide later on, because at first I didn't want it, but I suddenly changed my mind when I saw Prowl being listed as two pack with Ironhide, I am very excited and can't wait until I get them.
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?
I never watched g1 and I always wondered why smokescreen is blue but bluestreak is grey shouldn’t they’re names be swapped around so it makes more sense
I love this review. The boardroom scene was genius, and accurate. This review makes me want to pick all of these siege versions, now. I had no interest in these before this review.
You could have each of them separately and had 3 times the content....haha. Good review of the figures. Always enjoy watching. Love the skit about the pitch meeting...
haha thanks. I had considered breaking them up, but I was trying to get this review out while i still enjoyed the figures and weren't overshadowed by the better Earthrise figures (who will be getting separate videos probably most likely
Epic video Lazy Eyebrow!!!!!!!! :D I prefer the Siege versions of the Datsun Autobots over the Earthrise. :D Bluestreak is my favorite of this trio. :D Keep on being amazing, Double Thumbs Up. ;D
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!
I recently purchased prowl on eBay and his front tires are kind of tight and hence it’s kind of hard to play as him in car mode like when I make prowl move in his alt mode the front tires will stay still at times is their anyway to fix that
I’m still gonna get siege Smokescreen just cause I like the colors and I can just customize the helmet to make SG Hotshot (which was based on the Smokescreen repaint of his Armada toy)
I really hope Habro will keep going with the updates of past lines so maybe one day we'll get updated Car Robots (RID 01') and maybe even some more Unicron Trilogy stuff
I think i'm gonna try amd get Barricade for the combining shoulder guns and siren, and when i get the Centurion pack i'm gonna give him (what i believe to be) Cliff's handgun.
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.
I don't know if you have gotten any of the Earthrise Datsuns yet but i thought that you would like to know that there are some details behind the back wheels like there are on cliffjumper.
I never got Selects Smokescreen so I did go with ER for him, but I’m just sticking with Siege Prowl and Bluestreak. At least I have 1 of the ER mold. I mean it’s better...but it’s not THAT much better.

Why doesn't Jazz look like a walking music note though? it's my biggest irritation in the lore
@@TheLazyEyebrow I like to think his name is a self fulfilling prophecy of him liking the music genre
I think it's in reference to the fact that he's usually voiced by a black guy, the stereotypical jazz musician
They’re definitely not bad figures but I definitely prefer the earthrise Datsun mold. No more of that “skipped leg day” look.
I am impatient... none of them have been released here yet in Earthrise...
@@Cadeho3 same here and I too am getting antsy
The Lazy Eyebrow yeah
I agree. I love their Earth modes. However I WILL be cherry picking for ER. I will be keeping the Siege version of Bluestreak.
I like them all, but definitely the siege versions have bad proportions with the legs, that being said, it is their only flaw.
10:37 aged like fine wine
IMO, Baracade has the best look for this mold. The Black and Purple is slick.
"Just wait till my idea for the next year where we make everythign exclusives!" as an european this punched me in the gut

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!
And then we're getting Studio Series 86 figures that are intended to be as accurate to the G1 movie as much as possible.
Hasbro should hire you to make figures for them because that prowl looks way better without the transparent parts
8:03 Personally I prefer to plug the guns into their magazine clips so that they sit flatter on the car hood.
That custom ER Nemesis Prime in matte black is spicy.
thanks!
18:07 that nemisis prime is AWESOME
THANK YOU!
@@TheLazyEyebrow it's the least I can do
I found this intriguing as well. Is that Nemisis prime the real deal or a custom?
@@CardboardBots custom, that's what makes it so impressive
Okay so first off, the joke about everything this year being exclusives was golden. Love it!
Second, there are like four Bluestreaks just chilling at my Walmart. Do you want any of them?
I mean I already got one, but thanks anyway!
350z with bluestreak color scheme:

No, barricade and smokescreen have the same head.
@@fabianboris9059 Ah, thank you. I didn't get Smokescreen. Will be getting the ER one if those ever materialize, though.
Barricade is my favorite version, but I'm a sucker for black and purple.
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.
I still think the earthrise is much much better
Oh man that was an awesome shout out. anytime I can help a fellow collector I will.
That transformation got me Trippin
Great, now I want the siege Datsun mold
18:07 I love That Nemesis Prime custom
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.

I love the stop-motion by the way. 🙂
yeah that's a genuinely fair point
It's nice to see the same mold used in different lines they also use this mold for barricade
Love that at 16:55, the headlights and and taillights and light bar are illuminated and staggering right to left just like a cop cars light bar would do.
haha glad you enjoyed
I like how you switched between figures through the transformation. Nice work.
OMG, I just died inside in happiness when I saw that he *didn't* give away ALL of his MP boys, especially MP36 Megs
I just love this guy's reviews
hate to burst your bubble but.... I really did, everything you see here was obtained in the last 12 months
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.
He deserves a lot more subscribers. Love your work Lazy Eyebrow
I just got siege Bluestreak today because it was still on shelves and WOW! He was amazing. I love this figure.
I’ve always loved smokescreens design. The colors are so vibrant!
"wait till we make every thing an exclusive" they said we thought it was funny until it actully happaned
I genuinely said out loud "oh that's cool" when you did the light bar thing with smoke screen
16:47 I hear a Cortana in there...
"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.
Yeah, probably
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.
Bluestreak is Walmart exclusive. I saw the figure in person at Walmart and saw it in the Netflix exclusive box
LOve the intro skit!!! Simmons you're a GENIUS!!!!
Pretty sure prowl is my favorite autobot.
I may be late to comment this, but I don’t recommend changing around Prowl’s light bar a lot. The clear plastic on my siege Prowl that is the port on the top for the car mode has a crack. I just hoped you knew about this
I hunted like crazy for that Soundblaster. Oh well, I heard the chest compartment was too tight anyways.
We need a Generation Selects Diaclone Bluestreak and a Generations Selects Silverstreak.
I kind of wish the Earthrise Smokescreen has come with the Prowl recolour head just for the option of popping it off and on but oh well, I guess I’ll just have to find another siege prowl and use it. Also am I the only one bugged by the white back of prowl barely covered up by the black ab piece. I painted it black from the bottom to the cut off and now I think it looks great.

17:50 the blind, you still forgot that the Grapple had the little silver cannon hooked on one side of the crane!
Oh man, an optional accessory. Key word 'optional'
Love it! You definitely stepped up your game. My boys and I loved this!
thanks!
Bluestreak here reminds me very much of the batmobile from the 90’s cartoon
I got Prowl because I wanted a stick-in-the-mud cop for my pre-war stop motion series. But I love the siege prowl!
14:17 siege barricade also has this head
I’m so glad I found my Impreza Smokescreen after all of these years 🤓😎
6:54
Whoa, are we sure that that 350z isnt the real Bluestreak?
Meanwhile at my local (southern US): Bluestreak is marked down to $10 because he was such a peg-warmer.
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.
I wish I had grabbed Soundblaster, but back then he was just a niche reference recolor and we didn't know what the Netflix show had done with him.
10:59
That joke made me realise there is a serious problem with yet to be revealed figures getting full reviews
yeah it's really starting to tick me off
Oh I wish I could go back in time and say, wait for buzzworthy bumblebee dome car thingy
One of your best reviews yet Lazy. Great job as always. 🙂
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.

It's funny, I actually filmed that and then forgot to put it in the script
The worst part of the black bumblebee joke is that we now have shattered glass gold bug, who is essentially an exclusive black bumblebee
Bluestreak was the first Transformer I ever owned, Dude was voiced By Casey Kassum and had lines in the Cartoon. How dare you sir! LOL.
Bluestreak is hands down my favourite lol

These were great, and I really liked them, but the only problem is that I gotta rebuy them for earthrise.
I have bluestreak already and I got him from the chosen prime
I like the ER mold more but I only have Smokescreen, and he has loose knees & feet and the panels in car mode don’t line up.
Smokescreen will always be remembered for having a giant chin
what addon is sideswipe rocking? looks amazing
it's a 3D print I desinged
@@TheLazyEyebrow thats really cool! any chance you could release the file please? been trying to do a similar one myself for mine but i suck XD

If I may ask, where may I buy a spoiler for my siege Sideswipe?
Glad I only got Prowl and waited for the ER figures

Smokescreen's head first was on siege barricade.
Smokescreen came out first though, at least where I am
You make some good videos and I also own sound blaster in Blue Streak

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.
