Smokejumper is a Decepticon character in the Universe conflict.

"Efficient victories rely on effective information."

Smokejumper is part of Megazarak's personal strike force. 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 jet mode, where Smokejumper's eye for detail and Dreadwind's lust for destruction join forces to create a dangerous force to reckon with.


Fiction

Smokejumper has not technically appeared in any of the official fictions. Though he was released under the Robots in Disguise toy line, his character bio from the 3H fan club magazine and Megazarak's bio place him in the Universe series.

The same issue gives instructions on how to combine Dreadwind and Smokejumper with Armada Galvatron to form "MegaWing Galvatron", with a note to check online for "Dark MegaWing Galvatron" directions, combining the whole schebang with Tidal Wave. Robert Yee's instructions include a backstory for Megawing Galvatron that places Dreadwind and Smokejumper in the Armada universe.
