If you are annoyed by [[Prowl (G1)/toys|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!

**''Takara ID number:'' '''45'''
**''Accessories:'' "Electro-Disruptor Rifle", 2 missile launchers (left & right), 3 missiles

:''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' Smokescreen transforms into a Datsun 280ZX Turbo based upon the Electramotive Devendorf/Sharpe touring car driven by Don Devendorf. Though Smokescreen is a Datsun 280ZX, he is a [[redeco]]/[[retool]] of the standard body used by both [[Bluestreak (G1)#Generation 1/toys#Generation 1|Bluestreak]] and [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Prowl]], featuring a much larger front fender and a rear spoiler. He is predominantly blue, red and white in both [[alternate mode|vehicle]] and [[robot mode]]s. Like Bluestreak and Prowl, he features two spring-loaded missile launchers mounted either side of his head, and is armed with a silver "Electro-Disruptor Rifle".

:The Mexican IGA [[variant]] uses Bluestreak and Prowl's front bumper and rear window molds, without the racing spoilers.

:Contrary to [[Misconceptions and urban legends about Transformers#Smokescreen38|popular belief]], 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.<ref name="38-1">[http://www.a2zracer.com/page84.html "Electramotive Years 1982"] at a2zracer.com.</ref><ref name="38-2">[https://teamobscurityracing.wordpress.com/2009/11/13/formula-silhouette-photo-find/ "Formula silhouette photo find."] at AusZoku.</ref><ref name="38-3">[https://www.racingsportscars.com/driver/results/Don-Devendorf-USA.html "All Results of Don Devendorf"] at Racing Sports Cars.</ref> 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-accuracy|show-accurate]] look.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=It's pretty clear from the Transformers box artwork, from the stock photography on the packaging and even from early catalogue images of Smokescreen that the intention was to put the Autobot symbol on his hood in place of the "38", and that look even made it into the G1 cartoon and - subsequently - the TakaraTomy Masterpiece versions of Smokescreen.|link=https://tfsquareone.blogspot.com/2019/08/hasbro-g1-reissue-smokescreen-devolution.html|name=Maz|site=Transformers Square One|title=Hasbro G1 Reissue Smokescreen - Devolution|year=2019|month=08|day=12}}</ref>

{{note|The ''Generation 2'' [[Smokescreen (G2)#Toys|Smokescreen]] toy was repurposed as a new body for the original Smokescreen in ''[[The Road to Legends' Revival Chapter 4: LG-EX Big Powered Prologue Part One|Legends]]''.}}

:Available only with his larger partner [[Dreadwing (G2)#Toys|Dreadwing]], ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|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 [[alternate mode|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.

**''Alternator ID number:'' '''1'''
**''Binaltech ID number:'' '''BT-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Turbo intercooler/gun
{{toydesigner|[[Mark McCall]] (Hasbro), [[Hironori Kobayashi]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' Smokescreen's [[alternate mode]] is a [[licensed vehicle alternate modes|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 operation]]s 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.

{{note|Smokescreen was actually designed as a retool of ''Alternators'' [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#Alternators/Binaltech|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.}}

: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.

{{toydesigner|[[Alex Androski]] (deco artist)}}

:Part of the fifth wave of ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Smokescreen is a redeco of [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Silverstreak]] (who is a retool of [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Prowl]]), of course. He transforms into a modified {{w|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 ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Rapido#Timelines|Rapido]], while the original Prowl version of this mold was redecoed into ''Timelines'' [[Streetwise (G1)#Timelines|Streetstar]]. The original version of this mold also served as the basis of the non-toy ''Shattered Glass'' incarnation of [[Prowl (SG)|Prowl]].

:Available [[exclusive]]ly at the [[Tokyo Toy Show]] 2010, this Dreadwing & Smokescreen set is a [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Voyager Class [[Mindwipe (ROTF)#Revenge of the Fallen|Mindwipe]] and Scout Class [[Skystalker (ROTF)#Revenge of the Fallen|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.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-news-rumors/314218-g2-2010-dreadwing-smokescreen-gallery.html#post5009658 Japanese fan masabon reports on TakaraTomy designer Masu Yoshi's inspiration for the Dreadwing & Smokescreen set at TFW2005.com]</ref> Besides the obvious colour changes, the live-action movie Decepticon [[insignia]]s have been replaced with ''Generation 2'' Decepticon insignia.

:Smokescreen transforms from a robot into a flying-wing-style stealth jet drone similar to the {{w|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 (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Jetfire]], which of course, was the "gerwalk" mode from the Japanese series ''{{w|The 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 [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|''Transformers: Hunt for the Decepticons'']] [[Sunspot#Toys|Sunspot]] and ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' [[Laserbeak (G1)/toys#Generations|Laserbeak]].

**''ID number:'' '''MP-19'''
**''Accessories:'' Disruptor Rifle, 2 Jamming Launchers
{{toydesigner|[[Shogo Hasui]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Smokescreen is a redeco and retool of [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|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 [[Character model|cartoon model]], and even features an extensive red, blue, & white [[Paint operation|paint]] scheme. Roughly as tall as a [[Size class|Voyager Class]] figure, he is also in [[scale]] with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#mp10|MP-10 Optimus Prime]], and can fit inside [[Combat Deck (G1)#mp10|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 {{w|Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company|Goodyear}}, "'''[[Devcon (G1)|Devcon]] Oil'''" replacing the driver's name, "'''Huck'''" instead of "{{w|Robert Bosch GmbH|Bosch}}", and "'''Disturbance'''" instead of "{{w|Ashland Inc.#Ashland Consumer Markets (Valvoline)|Valvoline}}".

:If purchased in Asian markets outside of Japan, a [[collector coin]] is included.

:This sculpt was also redecoed and retooled into MP-18 [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Streak]].

:Part of the sixth wave of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Smokescreen is unsurprisingly a redeco of ''Combiner Wars'' [[Prowl (G1)/toys#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#Combiner Wars|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 [[Godbomber#Legends|''Legends'' Godbomber]]'s legs.

:This mold was previously retooled from ''Combiner Wars'' [[Dead End (G1)#Combiner Wars|Dead End]] to create ''Combiner Wars'' [[Streetwise (G1)#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.

:A ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' add-on to ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'', Smokescreen is a redeco of ''Siege'' [[Barricade (IDW)#Toys|Barricade]] (itself a head retool of ''Siege'' [[Prowl (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: 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 Master]]s 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.

:[[File:Siege Smokescreen.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|left|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 [[Cybertronian language|Ancient Autobot]] numerals, albeit rotated 180 degrees.

:According to his [[Hasbro Pulse]] page, he is the third [[Praxus|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]].

*'''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 ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|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 (IDW)#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Barricade]], and retooled into ''Earthrise'' [[Prowl (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Prowl]] and  [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|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|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 [[Hoist (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|''Earthrise'' Hoist]] on top of the details unique to Smokescreen's piece.

:''[[Titanium Series]]'' Smokescreen is based on the ''Alternators'' toy, but lacks the Alternator's Subaru racing deco. While all Titanium mini-figures are somewhat squatty, Smokescreen may, in fact, be the squattiest of them all.

*'''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 (G1)/toys|Prowl]] and [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys|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.

==Notes==
[[File:Uni2003-toy Smokescreen.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|]]
*Smokescreen received a toy homage in the final wave of ''[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Transformers: Armada]]'' Basic-sized Mini-Con three-packs in 2003. The redecoed version of [[Prowl (Armada)#HasbroRedeco|Prowl]] has a deco inspired by Generation 1 Smokescreen. In addition, the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Smokescreen (Cybertron)#Toys|Battle in a Box incarnation]] of Smokescreen (at right) would have been a more direct homage.
