Talk:Smokescreen (G1)

Someone should dig up the reissue box art for Smokescreen by one Hirofumi Ichikawa for the main article image. It's awesome. Same for Tracks. --M Sipher 23:12, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree. I'll see if the US reissue boxes will do, since those I got. I dunno if they cover up too much of the art on those... --ItsWalky 00:41, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

I wish I'd known the Titanium one was based off the Alternators before I repainted it to be G1. Nevertheless, thank you for filling in the toy info, other anonymous Smokescreen fan. - JH

Top image

So I started editing this before I realized Smokescreen's current top image was Ichikawa. I decided to finish editing it and toss it up here anyway, just to see what people's opinions would be on possibly using it. They're both very nice pieces of artwork, I think, and I like that the TF Collection art is full-body (and now clean!), but... Ichikawa Smokescreen. Chronicles nostalgia.

Personally, I don't feel strongly about it either way, since I don't really care a lot about Smokescreen. Whaddaya think, sirs? --Monzo 01:18, 27 April 2011 (EDT)

Huge Smokescreen fan over here. I say we keep the Ichikawa image. Antimatter 09:24, 27 April 2011 (EDT)

I like the new image better, but that may just be because I tend to prefer a static character model type picture for the main pic. --Khajidha 09:39, 27 April 2011 (EDT)

Scanning and cleaning up the Ichikawa image is one of the first things I made sure to do on this wiki way back in 2007, because I love that Ichikawa Smokescreen more than anything. Even beyond that bias, I think it's important to keep since it's good to have some artistic variety in our main images, and there just ain't much Ichikawa to speak of otherwise. Conversely, we've got plenty of those reissue bookbox profile images. --ItsWalky 10:11, 27 April 2011 (EDT)
