>>10232484>>10232488It's part of how Hasbro changed their mind a million times in the original 1984 toys
>Diaclone Fairlady Z is blue with silver hood>Budiansky sees a blue car and makes him a talkative guy based on the old expression "talk a blue streak" and it's now a pun since the car giong fast is a blue streak too>Hasbro changes their mind and makes the car silver with a charcoal hood based on the OTHER diaclone color scheme >Sunbow uses this deco as the basis for Bluestreak's cartoon design>Hasbro changes their mind AGAIN and releases Bluestreak as solid silver with no color on the hoodTakara would name the character "Streak", and Hasbro would lose the trademark on "Bluestreak", forcing them to fallback onto "Silverstreak" for a name (since he was silver)... but eventually reclaimed the name Bluestreak, so put it back on the character as it used to be. Then they actually colered him blue so...
