Binaltech Streak had the same die-cast contents as his Smokescreen which included the hood, roof, the front doors.
To be fair the original G1 series, both Smokescreen and Streak shared the same body (as they both came from variants of Diaclone toys) so it made sense that Takara kept this theme going.

 Silver Streak
Intro: Seeing Silver Streak again after so many years, the first thing I noticed was how badly it had aged; not the picture or sound quality (though the transfer here leaves a lot to be desired), but the movie itself.
Being that Silver Streak was made during the height of the disaster movie craze, one has to assume the part of the reason for the movie's existence is to depict the climactic train crash, which is shown in loving, destructive, slow-motion detail.
Summary: Silver Streak won't win over any younger viewers, who will probably look upon this as too old to be any good, and the relatively poor picture and sound doesn't help.

Wright’s selection this year was hardly a shocker– LaToya led the Streaks in scoring and rebounding and she was an incredible force in the post season.
"I hope the fact that the Streaks didn’t make State in LaToya’s two years at the varsity isn’t held against her because, in a lot of ways, she was one of the best players to ever wear a Silver Streaks uniform," said another one of our panelists.
