Bluestreak (Transformers)

Bluestreak is the name of several characters in the Transformers franchise. For trademark reasons his name had to be changed to Silverstreak in 2003. The trademark was returned to Hasbro again in 2010.

Transformers: Generation 1

Bluestreak's (Jaseur in Québec, Ariete in Italy) biography described him as a highly incessant talker; he simply couldn't stop. Other Autobots didn't mind this, as it helped to lighten their mood. Despite this Bluestreak had a darker side - he loathed the war and fighting in it due to the Decepticons' annihilation of his home state in the war on Cybertron. When speaking of fellow Autobot Wheeljack, Bluestreak joked that "[Wheeljack] can build a neutron bomb out of a wristwatch and a rusty can." He turns into a silver Datsun.

According to original tech spec notes written by Bob Budiansky found at Iacon One in 2006 the original name for Bluestreak was Blue Streak.

Marvel Comics

Bluestreak also appeared in the Marvel Transformers comic, both in the US and UK titles (which featured original strips alongside US reprints), where his role was much the same as the animated series.
