(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 Universe 2.0 Deluxe Prowl. For a review on the mold itself, read the review of Universe 2.0 Deluxe Prowl here.)

    Like the G1 character, Silverstreak here is a repaint and slight remold of Prowl, and like the G1 character, his color scheme is dynamite. Silver, black, and red is a pretty color scheme no matter what toy you put it on, and Universe 2.0 Silverstreak is no exception. In vehicle mode in particular, his colors pop, since most of the gray plastic in his vehicle mode is actually painted a very attractive shade of metallic silver as opposed to being dull unpainted gray plastic. All that silver goes perfectly with the painted black and the transparent blue windows. On the flip side, many of his exposed bits in robot mode are the aforementioned gray, but this is likely done so that the paint doesn't scratch much during transformation. He doesn't have many colors that are solely used for accent colors, but the few he does have-- like the sky blue bits on his waist and the light red on his headlights-- look really sharp and contrast well with the surrounding colors.
    Universe 2.0 Silverstreak has one mold change-- Prowl's siren has been removed, so Silverstreak's just a normal police car. Other than that, he's the same as Prowl.
    Universe 2.0 Silverstreak is a fantastic repaint, and a few of the mold's shortcomings are the only thing that keep it from getting a 9.0+ rating. Still, I really have no complaints about his very eye-catching, dynamic color scheme, and I'd definitely recommend this toy the most out of the three color schemes this mold has received.
