You can tell they're not Streetwise by the P on their crotch. Wait, ew.

Unfortunately this sample uses the wrong sticker on the car hood. It should be a star with a "P" inside, as seen at the top of the page. But chances to take pics of the actual toys are rare, so....

• ID number: TF-04
• Accessories: Pistol, double-barreled cannon

Released in the Operation Combination portion of the original Takara, Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers toyline, Streetstar is a redeco of the original Streetwise, transforming into a Nissan 300ZX Turbo police car. The figure is almost identical to Streetwise, save for a much brighter white plastic and different decals. Since Streetstar uses the Scramble City style of combination, they can form the limb of any super robot combination, though their nominal placement is as the left arm of Guard City. This mold is unique amongst Scramble City-style combiner limbs in that it has a "normal" robot head that does not also function as a connector peg; instead it features a fold-out connector peg to attach him to Fire Chief.

Streetstar was only available as a part of the complete Guard City box set, along with Fire Chief, Fly-Up, Safety, and Sparkride. As one of the very last releases of the Japanese Transformers line, at a time when pretty much everyone had stopped buying Transformers, even a loose set of the team can demand prices over a thousand dollars.

Notes

• None of the Guard City components were given individual bios. This was actually very common by this point in the Takara Transformers line, which was loaded up with multi-packs (mainly of Micromasters) where the singular on-package bio would cover the entire team, and there was very little fiction to even attempt to highlight anyone beyond "hey cool robot that fights good".
