| This article is about the Robots in Disguise Decepticon. For the Armada Decepticon, see Smokejumper (Armada). |
- 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.

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- A Target stores exclusive (released well after Robots in Disguise had been replaced by Armada at retail), Smokejumper is a redeco of the Generation 2 Smokescreen toy, transforming into a jet fighter of undetermined model that vaguely kinda-sorta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 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]
