Toys

[edit]

The Transformers

[edit]
  • Smokescreen (1985)
    • Japanese ID number: 45
    • Accessories: electro-disruptor rifle, 2 missile launchers (left & right), 3 missiles
Generation 1 Smokescreen transforms into a Datsun 280ZX Turbo based upon the Electramotive Davendorf/Sharpe touring car and is armed with a silver electro-disruptor rifle, according to his packaging bio and instructions.


The Transformers Collection

[edit]
  • Smokescreen (12-20-2002)
    • ID number: 5
    • Accessories: "Electro-Disruptor Rifle", 2 missile launchers (left & right), 3 missiles
Smokescreen was re-released as part of Takara's Transformers Collection series. This version has slightly-altered decals, and fully-functional spring-loaded missile launchers.


Commemorative Series

[edit]
  • Smokescreen (2003)
    • Accessories: "Electro-Disruptor Rifle", 2 missile launchers (left & right), 3 missiles
Smokescreen was also reissued as part of the Toys"R"Us-exclusive Commemorative Series line in the US. This version of Smokescreen uses a softer, unchromed black plastic for his rifle and missiles owing to breakage issues, plus his launchers are completely non-firing.


Universe (2008)

[edit]
  • Smokescreen (Deluxe, 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.


Henkei! Henkei!

[edit]
  • Smokescreen (Deluxe, 2009)
    • Japanese ID number: C-21
    • Accessories: Gun
The Henkei! Henkei! version of 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.


Masterpiece

[edit]
  • Smokescreen (12-14-2013)
    • Japanese 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. 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.
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.

Merchandise

[edit]

Decoy

[edit]
  • Smokescreen #8


Titanium Series

[edit]
  • Smokescreen (3-inch Robot Masters, 2006)
    • Accessories: Gun, Autobot-sigil display stand
This version is of 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.


Transformers - Mini Bust

[edit]
  • 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. The bust features Smokescreen's electro-disruptor rifle and twin missile launchers.
