- Smokejumper is a Decepticon from the 2001 Robots in Disguise continuity family.
An intelligence analyst, Smokejumper has a meticulous eye for detail. He is so single-minded, he's unable to think outside of his current mission objective. His partner Dreadwind calls him a geek. Even his fellow Decepticons find him frustrating to relate to. Relatively unarmed and unpopular, he relies on Dreadwind to watch his back when he's wrapped up in his work.
Smokejumper and Dreadwind can combine in the form of Dreadwing, where Smokejumper's eye for detail and Dreadwind's lust for destruction join to create a dangerous force to reckon with.
Fiction
3H comics
Smokejumper and Dreadwind allied themselves with Galvatron during the Unicron Battles, using the Spark of Combination to form the mighty MegaWing Galvatron. In this form, they are powerful enough to challenge Jet Convoy. When they further combine with Tidal Wave to form Dark MegaWing Galvatron, is there any force which can stop them?

The Dreadwind and Smokejumper of Viron 403.0 Beta trapped the Lunar Battle of 2011 of Primax 1087.09 Alpha in a time loop. The Challenge Blaster was developed by the Autobot Science Harmonium to combat them. The AllSpark Almanac II

The Destructicons, including Smokejumper, were the subordinates of Megazarak in Viron 403.0 Beta. They battled against the Dinobots, the sole remaining Autobot resistance in their reality. After Megazarak sent them to Primax 1087.09 Alpha, they brought Sunstorm back with them. They subsequently accompanied their leader to Aurex 304.0 Epsilon, where they allied with the local Decepticons. As part of this alliance, Dreadwind and Smokejumper gained the ability to combine with Galvatron. However, once the Decepticons proved their use, the Destructicons wiped them out. Later on, though, their mercurial nature caused them to join the Children of Primus. Ask Vector Prime
Toys
Robots in Disguise (2001)
- Dreadwind & Smokejumper (Decepticon, 2004)
- Accessories: 2 launchers, 2 missiles
- A Target stores exclusive (released well after Robots in Disguise had been replaced by Armada at retail), Smokejumper is a redeco of the Generation 2 Smokescreen toy, transforming into a jet fighter of undetermined model that vaguely kinda-sorta resembles an F-22 Raptor. His jet mode fits in the back end of his partner Dreadwind's jet mode as well, forming a complete "flying wing" stealth bomber jet called Dreadwing. His twin spring-loaded missile launchers fit into slots on his legs, putting them under his wings in jet mode.
- Thanks to a screwhole which was new to this version of Dreadwind's mold, Dreadwind and Smokejumper can combine with Armada Galvatron (or any redeco of that mold) to form "MegaWing Galvatron". Instructions for this bizarre, but official mode appeared in the only issue of 3H's Official Transformers Collectors' Club Magazine. The instructions also included a note to check online for "Dark MegaWing Galvatron" directions, combining the whole schebang with Tidal Wave. Due to the disintegration of 3H, this never materialized.
- This set was released in Japan as a Toys"R"Us-exclusive "USA Edition".
- The same mold is used by Beast Wars II Starscream and Robotmasters Smokesniper. It was going to be used in Generation 2 as a new form of the original Starscream, but that toy was ultimately canceled.
Notes
- The Dreadwind & Smokejumper set is unusual for having included a peel-and-apply decal sheet: apart from Generation 1 reissues, this was the only use of this feature since the end of Generation 2.
- Smokejumper and Dreadwind had apparently been slated to make a cameo in an issue of the Dreamwave Armada comics, but were replaced at Hasbro's insistence by Skywarp and Sideways.[1]
