If you are annoyed by Prowl's prickery, take comfort in the fact that when Prowl gets a toy, Smokescreen is sure to get one as well, a toy which won't be a prick!

He can only get away with those colors because he's from the 1980s.
  • Smokescreen (Autobot Car, 1985)
  • Takara ID number: 45
  • Accessories" "Electro-Disruptor Rifle", left & right missile launchers, 3 missiles
Released in the second year of the US Transformers toyline (first year in non-US markets), Smokescreen is a slight redeco of the Takara Diaclone "Fairlady Z Racing" toy, transforming into a Datsun 280ZX Turbo based on the Electramotive Devendorf/Sharpe touring car driven by Don Devendorf, only this time with the Datsun-specific text removed from the stickers. (This toy is itself a redeco/retooling of the mold that was used for the prior year's Bluestreak and Prowl, now featuring a much larger front fender and a rear spoiler.) In robot mode he has two spring-loaded missile launchers mounted either side of his head; the Hasbro releases of this mold had the springs severely weakened for safety reasons, while the Japanese version kept them at full strength.
The Mexican IGA variant uses Bluestreak and Prowl's front bumper and rear window molds, without the racing spoilers.
Contrary to some online rumblings, the 38 decal is not a reversed "83" (often said to be an attempt to avoid legal issues). In truth, the real life car has raced under both numbers, although admittedly, "38" is the more obscure number for this car compared to "83" since it was only used once, for the 6 Hours of Fuji race on October 3, 1982, making it likely more recognizable to the Japanese market.[1][2][3] When the Diaclone toy was being imported to Transformers, there were plans to omit the car-accurate 38 decal from the hood, and replace it with an Autobot insignia—as seen in Smokescreen's package art, instructions, and fictional appearances—but the final toy keeps the decal, leaving it up to the buyer where to place the Autobot symbol. Common solutions are above the 38, on the flap that ends up behind the robot head, or simply slapped directly on top of the 38. Obviously there's nothing stopping you from peeling the 38 decal off, if you want a really show-accurate look.[4]

    Dreadwing (Decepticon, 1994)
    • Takara ID number: TRF-10
    • Accessories: Two launchers, two missiles
The Generation 2 Smokescreen toy was repurposed as a new body for the original Smokescreen in Legends.
Available only with his larger partner Dreadwing, Generation 2 Smokescreen transforms into a fighter jet of undetermined (probably made-up) model. He has two side-mounted spring-loaded rocket launchers that become hand-weapons in robot mode. He can combine with Dreadwing's vehicle mode to form the large stealth bomber jet. For some reason he came with an Autobot-style instruction book that instructed you to put Smokescreen's forehead sticker on the center of Dreadwing's face.
Smokescreen's arms are misassembled, as his thumbs end up on the outside of his fists in robot mode and upper arms have a visible screw on the exposed side.

Alternators

(thumbnail)
We're gellin'! Are you gellin'?
  • Smokescreen (2003)
    • Alternator ID number: 1
    • Binaltech ID number: BT-01
    • Accessories: Turbo intercooler/gun
Alternators Smokescreen's alternate mode is a licensed blue 1:24 scale 2003 Subaru Impreza WRC rally car, with opening hood, trunk, and all four doors as well as a detailed interior. He also features working steering and rubber tires. His robot mode is based upon his original toy, as well as his cartoon model, but with changes made to reflect modern standards of Transformers toys, as well as his new vehicle mode. He is armed with a laser rifle formed from his turbo intercooler, and has the capacity to mount two spring-loaded rocket launchers on either side of his shoulders, though these were only included with his 2004 Binaltech retool, Smokescreen GT (see below).
There are several major differences between Takara Binaltech Smokescreen and Hasbro's Alternators counterpart. While the Binaltech version is constructed partially out of die-cast metal and has the entire car shell painted in a metallic electric blue paint job, Hasbro's Alternators release features a car shell made out of plain blue plastic. Additionally, Takara released two variants (concurrently available in equal quantities), namely the number "7" Solberg / Mills and the number "8" Makinen / Lindstrom versions of the 2003 WRC car. Hasbro, meanwhile, only released the number "8" version. In their December 11, 2003 website Q&A, Hasbro stated that they were intending to release the number "7" variant stateside as a running change; however, possibly due to the "#8" version ending up as a shelfwarmer, those plans never came to fruition.
There have been many reports of Binaltech Smokescreen's paint being very easy to scratch, chip and scrape. What's worse, early batches of the production run were apparently particularly prone to outright flaking, while later batches had somewhat more stable paint jobs. In addition, both variants of Takara's version of Smokescreen saw a running change in the blue paint on his upper thighs. Earlier shipments featured additional paint that extended beyond the sculpted lines in a curve, while later shipments had the paint operations match the sculpted lines, which is also the way the section in question looks on Hasbro's Alternators version. The second version appears to be much rarer than the first one.
Smokescreen was actually designed as a retool of Alternators Silverstreak (aka Binaltech Streak), whose alternate mode is the Subaru Impreza WRX street model. However, the marketing department at Takara felt that the flashier Smokescreen would make a more suitable debut toy and would grab more attention than the plain silver Streak would.

Oh, we're gellin'!
  • Smokescreen GT (Japan 2004)
    • ID number: BT-07
    • Accessories: Turbo intercooler/gun, missile launcher with missile
In 2004, Takara retooled Smokescreen for their Binaltech series into Smokescreen GT. He received a new front end, hood, roof, spoiler and wheels to reflect the changes made to the Team Subaru WRC car in the 2004 World Rally Championship. He also included a single spring-loaded missile launcher (with missile) that could be attached either side of his head via two small holes.
Like the original Binaltech Smokescreen release, Smokescreen GT was also released in two variants, reflecting the number "1" Solberg and the number "2" Hirvonen versions of the 2004 WRC car.

Universe (2008)

Surprise! He looks like this!
  • Smokescreen (Deluxe Class, 2009)
    • Series: Generation 1 Series
    • Accessories: Gun
Part of the fifth wave of Universe Deluxe Class toys, Smokescreen is a redeco of Silverstreak (who is a retool of Prowl), of course. He transforms into a modified Nissan 350Z and features twin non-removable and non-firing "rocket launchers" that can swing over his robot mode shoulders. His fold-out gun stores in the car mode's undersides.
Smokescreen was the first professional work of deco designer Alex Androski for Hasbro. Androski reportedly shared many a fan's disappointment with how the deco turned out, stating that they had wished they could go back and redo the deco before anyone else had even seen it.
This version of the mold was retooled into Timelines Rapido, while the original Prowl version of this mold was redecoed into Timelines Streetstar. The original version of this mold also served as the basis of the non-toy Shattered Glass incarnation of Prowl.

The Henkei! Henkei! version of Deluxe Class Smokescreen features a more accurate deco to the original Generation 1 toy and has a more cartoon accurate deco compared to Universe Smokescreen. Like all Henkei! Henkei! toys, he features vacuum-metallized plastic, including his shoulder-mounted missile launchers and his spoiler.

Transformers (2010)

(thumbnail)
At last, he has the wingspan he's always wanted.
  • Dreadwing & Smokescreen (July 17, 2010)
    • Accessories: Left and right axes
The 2010 Smokescreen toy was repurposed as a body for Generation 1 Smokescreen in Legends.
Available exclusively at the Tokyo Toy Show 2010, this Dreadwing & Smokescreen set is a redeco of Revenge of the Fallen Voyager Class Mindwipe and Scout Class Skystalker respectively. TakaraTomy designer Masu Yoshi's inspiration for this set apparently stemmed from a desire to compete with BotCon 2010's Generation 2 theme for its exclusive toys.[5] Besides the obvious colour changes, the live-action movie Decepticon insignias have been replaced with Generation 2 Decepticon insignia.
Smokescreen transforms from a robot into a flying-wing-style stealth jet drone similar to the BAE Corax. Undocumented in the instructions, the two axes that peg into his palms as weapons for his robot mode can also clip directly to his forearms (giving them a superficial similarity to tonfa). For vehicle mode, they integrate into the stealth jet's wings. The robot mode feet are spring-loaded so the heels and toes collapse down and together when the feet are lifted off the ground.
The instructions include a "battle mode", which is essentially the vehicle mode with the robot legs untransformed, similar to the "alternate transformation" mode seen on Generation 1 Jetfire, which of course, was the "gerwalk" mode from the Japanese series Super Dimension Fortress Macross.
Like the original Generation 2 toys, in vehicle mode, Smokescreen can attach on top of Dreadwing's alternate mode via two pegs.
The blue plastic that makes up most of Smokescreen is more fragile than most and will crack under stress, such as repeated removal and replacing of the hook weapons into the wings.
This mold was also used to make Hunt for the Decepticons Sunspot and Generations GDO Laserbeak.

Construct-Bots

  • Smokescreen (Elite Class, 2013)
    • Accessories: Gun
Part of the final wave of original run Construct-Bots Elites, Smokscreen changes from a car-like vehicle into a robot-like automaton. He features non-firing shoulder-mounted rocket launchers and a large rifle. His head was retooled to make Dead End's.


Masterpiece

(thumbnail)
Hit ya (hit ya) with the smoke (smoke) tactics...
  • Smokescreen (December 14, 2013)
    • ID number: MP-19
    • Accessories: Disruptor Rifle, 2 Jamming Launchers
Masterpiece Smokescreen is a redeco and retool of MP-17 Prowl, and transforms into a licensed Nissan Fairlady 280Z-T that's been modified to look like the Electramotive Datsun 280ZX Turbo. Smokescreen features a new head, shoulders, upper arms, front bumper, rear bumper, spoiler, front window, rifle, and shoulder rockets compared to Prowl. Unlike Bluestreak he uses the same front waist piece as Prowl. As with other figures in the Masterpiece line, he is intended to be an accurate representation of his cartoon model, and even features an extensive red, blue, & white paint scheme. Roughly as tall as a Voyager Class figure, he is also in scale with MP-10 Optimus Prime, and can fit inside Prime's trailer in vehicle mode. In contrast to previous larger entries in this line, Smokescreen lacks die-cast parts, and his tires are cast in hard, non-rubberized plastic.
There are some issues concerning aligning the car's roof onto the body of the figure. In order to properly attach the back/roof top of the mold, the mid chest panel located in front of the torso must be tilted slightly forward and attached to the small indentation under the figure's "car hood". This will allow the back frame to straighten and get the two pegs on the windshield to lock into the two slots at the back of the car hood.
For accessories, he comes with his rifle, which can be held with his hands, or mount onto a flip-out mounting point on his roof via the separate peg on its jointed handle. He also comes with a pair of non-firing Jamming Launchers that can attach to slots in front of his windshield in vehicle mode, or attach to flip-out tabs on his shoulders in robot mode.
He sports various made-up sponsor logos replacing those logos found on the real-life vehicle, namely "Smoke Tactics" (a nod to his name and function of "diversionary tactician") instead of "Electramotive", "SlotFever" instead of Goodyear, "Devcon Oil" replacing the driver's name, "Huck" instead of "Bosch", and "Disturbance" instead of "Valvoline".
If purchased in Asian markets outside of Japan, a collector coin is included.
This sculpt was also redecoed and retooled into MP-18 Streak.

  • Smokescreen (January 27, 2020)

Released as a TakaraTomy Mall exclusive, this Smokescreen is a redeco and retool of the figure above, featuring cartoon-accurate colors and 3 interchangeable faceplates. He also comes with two new effect parts that evoke his ability seen in "Microbots", which can be attached under his feet in robot mode and either on his sides or in the tailpipe in altmode.
Originally planned for a July 2019 release, Smokescreen was delayed to January 2020.

Q-Transformers Smokescreen is a redeco and retool of QT-06 Prowl without the lightbar, transforming into a super deformed Nissan Fairlady 280Z-T. He comes with a code for unlocking Smokescreen as a playable character in the Q-Transformers: Mystery of Convoy Returns game.

A mock-up of the 2008 Universe Smokescreen toy redecoed in the colors of the Generation 2 Decepticon Smokescreen was shown in Transformers Generations 2014 Volume 1 as one of ten potential exclusives for Vol. 2. It received 2.9% of the fan votes.[6]
Only much later did a chapter of the Legends manga explain the in-universe backstory for this toy concept: G1 and G2 Smokescreen being the same character in Japanese G1 continuity.

    • Set number: B5152
    • Voted: Most Likely to Copy Your Homework
    • Accessories: Small pistol
Kre-O Smokescreen is a small brick-built Kreon figure, using the 2015-style construction with raised hands and the sturdier "peg-in-peg" torso/waist connection. His body tampographs are heavily toy-based.
He was only available as part of the San Diego Comic-Con-exclusive "Kreon Class of '85" 30-Kreon set. This set was also sold online through Hasbro Toy Shop after the show.


Combiner Wars

Lost a bet and now he has to combine with Sky Lynx. It will never happen again.
  • Smokescreen (Deluxe Class, 2016)
    • 4 OF 5: Sky Reign
    • Accessories: Gun, double-barreled gun/fist/foot
Part of the sixth wave of Combiner Wars Deluxe Class toys, Smokescreen is unsurprisingly a redeco of Combiner Wars Prowl. Sort-of surprisingly, he retains the lightbar from Prowl, albeit colored completely red. Being a Combiner Wars figure, Smokescreen can combine to form Sky Reign as either an arm or a leg. He can also combine with any Unite Warriors Voyager class figure or even into one of Legends Godbomber's legs.
This mold was previously retooled from Combiner Wars Dead End to create Combiner Wars Streetwise, which was then given a different head for the Prowl/Smokescreen version of the figure.
Smokescreen comes with a copy of Transformers: Windblade vol. 2 #3 (Combiner Wars Part 5), "All That Remains". In Canada, Latin America, and Europe, he was available in different types of multilingual packaging including a character card featuring his comic book cover/package art instead. He and the last three waves of Combiner Wars Deluxe and Voyager figures later showed up TJ Maxx in the U.S. at reduced prices with the collector card.
The original mold was redecoed as Lightsteed and Unit-3.

A redeco of Alt-Modes Prowl, Smokescreen is a super deformed toy whose body transforms into a car when the Autobot faction symbol on his head is flipped. He was blind-boxed and available in one of the first three cases of the toyline.
This mold was also used to make Alt-Modes Bluestreak.

Generations Selects

Won a bet against Barricade and pawned off his battle damage.
  • Smokescreen (Deluxe Class, October 1, 2019)
    • Series: War for Cybertron: Siege
    • Hasbro ID number: WFC-GS06
    • TakaraTomy release date: September 28, 2019
    • Accessories: "W-45 Acid Pellet Blaster," 2 "W-50 Volt-Beam Cannons"
A Generations Selects add-on to Siege, Smokescreen is a redeco of Siege Barricade (itself a head retool of Siege Prowl) sans lightbar. Smokescreen transforms into a Cybertronian car and includes the blaster and the 2 cannons from his mold mates, which are compatible with the C.O.M.B.A.T. System. They can combine to form a dual-blaster (though this is not documented in his instructions), or mount on the car hood/shoulders. He also features multiple hardpoints to accommodate "Fire Blasts" from the Battle Masters assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions. Like Prowl, Smokescreen is basically spotless, with no battle damage paint applications anywhere on his body. Smokescreen can be transformed between robot and vehicle modes without removing the W-50 Volt-Beam Cannons from his shoulders.
(thumbnail)
Some graphic designer was probably really proud of this.
Early stock images of Smokescreen featured a unique, geometric numeral design evoking his classic race number of 38. The final toy uses the standard Ancient Autobot numerals, albeit rotated 180 degrees.
According to his Hasbro Pulse page, he is the third Praxien character to add to the "Praxus-native collection", along with Barricade and Prowl. This toy was released exclusively through Hasbro Pulse and TakaraTomy Mall.

War for Cybertron: Earthrise

Won another bet, but with the cost of his lucky number.
  • Smokescreen (Deluxe Class, 2020)
    • Hasbro ID number: WFC-E20
    • TakaraTomy ID number: ER-07
    • TakaraTomy release date: August 29, 2020
    • Accessories: Blaster, 2 shoulder cannons
Part of wave 2 of Earthrise Deluxes, Smokescreen transforms into a car none-too-dissimilar to a Datsun. He shares much of his transformation engineering with the Siege Prowl mold but is a completely new one. He comes with his rifle and two shoulder cannon accessories, which can be attached to the figure in both modes, and combined to create a triple-barrelled weapon. For this figure, Smokescreen's classic "38" door decal has been changed to an 80.
Two different variants of Smokescreen exist with slightly different knee joints, one of which adds a tiny tab of plastic to the inside of the kneecap and includes additional tabs behind the car hood to better secure the car mode. Stock renders depict Smokescreen's shoulder cannons in black instead of the blue used by the finished toy. Additionally, the panels on the inside of his legs are not rotated into their correct place. The stock image used on this page shows the red deco on his car hood laid out in a similar way to his Siege figure; on the actual toy, it's patterned like most versions of the character, covering more of the hood with red paint.
Unfortunately, Smokescreen and all his mold mates tend to suffer from quality control issues such as a fragile roof, doors that refuse to peg in for vehicle mode, and molding flash inside the left shoulder port, preventing his shoulder cannons from fully settling inside it.
This mold was redecoed to create Earthrise Barricade, and retooled into Earthrise Prowl and Bluestreak. Smokescreen is the only mass-retail release of this mold, the others being exclusive to various online and brick-and-mortar stores.
Like all Earthrise toys, the inside of the back of Smokescreen's package includes an exclusive clip-and-save piece of a larger star map, along with a translucent red "decoder". Smokescreen's piece of the map contains the labeled location of PARADRON. Like most Earthrise figures from wave 2 onward, however, it is misprinted, and overlays the "decodable" red graphics from the map piece included with Earthrise Hoist on top of the details unique to Smokescreen's piece.

Decoy

  • Cybertron Hero Collection 22 (Box set, 1986
  • ID number: Collection No. 1
Smokescreen was among the many characters rendered by Takara as part of their series of 1.5" keshigomu figurines. Like all the Autobots in the series, Smokescreen was molded in soft red rubber, mixed details of both his original toy and his cartoon model, and featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his Tech Specs (in Smokescreen's case, "56"), for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines.
He was first available in a big box set of 22 Autobots, packed in with Blaster, Bluestreak, Brawn, Grapple, Hoist, Hound, Huffer, Ironhide, Jazz, Mirage, Optimus Prime, Perceptor, Ratchet, Red Alert, Sideswipe, Skids, Sunstreaker, Swoop, Tracks, Wheeljack, and Windcharger.


The keshi figures were also available individually, through "gachapon" capsule machines, in a variety of different colors including red, blue, yellow, green, orange, sky blue, pink, tan and white. Given the random nature of their purchase and comparative paucity on the secondary market, we can't say with certainty that every one of the fifty-three keshi figures was available in every single one of the different colors—but, hey, this is Japan we're talking about, so chances are pretty good they were.


  • Hero Keshigomu Mini Mini Collection (Multi-pack, 1986)
  • Scramble Gun Set Part.1 (Role-play toy, 1986)
  • Scramble Gun Set Part.2 (Role-play toy, 1986)
  • Water Gun Set (Role-play toy, 1986)
Takara subsidiary Seven used the keshi molds, now in a uniform peachy color, as randomized filler in a number of different sets. The Mini Mini Collections were nine random keshi packed in with an orange spring-loaded launcher, the Scramble Gun sets had four, while the Water Gun had a mere two.

The figurine was later brought over to Hasbro markets as part of the Decoy promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number.
Like all Autobot Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded Throttlebots, Aerialbots, Protectobots, and Technobots.

Far from the only person to lose his legs over gambling debts.
  • Smokescreen (Diamond Select, 2009)
Released by Diamond Select Toys in 2009, Smokescreen was sculpted by Mark Wong of Art Asylum and limited to 250 pieces. Smokescreen, along with his "brothers" Prowl and Bluestreak, is exclusive to online retailer Toyrocket.com. The bust features Smokescreen's electro-disruptor rifle and twin missile launchers. The missile launchers can be attached via magnets on either side of his head. The car doors are also magnetically attached, and are optional for display. The missile launchers given to Smokescreen do not match the ones on his animation model though the ones given to Bluestreak do. It is unknown if this change was intentional or a mistake.
