(NOTE: Because this is a repaint, this is not a full-blown review. This mainly covers any changes made to the mold and the color scheme, and merely compares it to Spychanger Sideswipe. For a review on the mold itself, read the review of the Spychanger Sideswipe here.)

    Out of all the G1-Themed Spychangers, Silversteak is probably the least like his G1 counterpart. Of course, his robot mode doesn't look like anything resembling his G1 version, but that's common among all of this particular line of Spychangers, minus Optimus Prime. He's a sportscar like the original Bluestreak, and his color scheme has some similar colors, like the silver, but that's where the similiarites end. For one, he really doesn't have all that much silver on him, unlike his G1 counterpart, which was covered with the stuff. On this Spychanger, it's mostly limited to the front bumper and hood. The rest of his car mode is a dark blue-gray- not unlike silver, but not close enough to really be considered the same color. It looks fairly good, although I wish there was a few more brighter paint apps, as his vehicle mode does come off looking a bit dull. The white helps a lot in the robot mode, although his almost complete lack of the color red really doesn't make him that much of a homage in robot mode at all. In fact, if he hadn't been named Silverstreak, I really wouldn't have made the connection to the G1 character.
    No mold changes have been made to Silverstreak.
    Silverstreak is a decent repaint, and about on par with his mold's predecessor, Sideswipe. His car mode may look a bit duller Sideswipe's, but the colors in robot mode are pretty nice, if not a G1 homage like the other G1 Spychangers. However, he is slightly more expensive ($4 U.S.), so I had to rate him ever-so-slightly lower than his predecessor.
