They are all 280ZXs!
Smoke screen has a full airdam and ZXR spoiler with red, white, blue paint. It is a 280ZX race car though. Maybe Paul Newmans? Smokescreen's tail lights give him away. He is a ZX, not a 240Z.
Prowl is the police car. I also have an original Prowl which cost a lot of money a few years ago on eBay. Now that the re-issues are out, the originals have gone way down in value.
Bluestreak in the cartoon series was a blue/sivler scheme like Jabo's car but reversed I think! Blue hood, silver sides. But ALL the toys issued out were all silver. For some stupid reason, the reissue of Bluestreak they changed his name to Silverstreak. I think what they should have done is changed the color on the car to match the cartoon.
There is also a Z31 300ZX called Streetsmart. I don't have that one. It came out at the end of the Transformer line and is hard to find.

I have almost all the generation 1 mostly in original boxes. Do you have the rare blue and silver Diaclone Bluestreak? I do, he is a little rough. But he is in the original box. It took me about 3 years to aquire him. Anyway I am turning my '82 into the Bluestreak diaclone. He is goin all out. Symbols and all. Let me know what you think.

Are you saying it cost $80 new back in the 80's? I've seen a picture of that Silverstreak. I thought it was just a custom made toy. Those Japanese do crazy things.

I do not know when exactly that all-chrome Silverstreak was made. I just know it's limited edition and it's current sale price was around $80, NIB. It was part of some sort of Japanese limited release where a couple others of the OG Transformers were redone in custom paint and packaging.
