[[Image:|right|300px|thumb|"Efficient victories rely on effective information."]] 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 <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Dreadwind_%28RID%29" title="Dreadwind (RID)">Dreadwind</a> can combine in the form of <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Dreadwing_%28RID%29" title="Dreadwing (RID)">Dreadwing</a>, where Smokejumper's eye for detail and Dreadwind's lust for destruction join to create a dangerous force to reckon with. Depending on continuity, they may also be able to combine with <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Megazarak" title="Megazarak">their</a> <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Megatron_%28Armada%29" title="Megatron (Armada)">leader</a>.

- came in the form of a tiny blurb prefacing instructions for combining
the Smokejumper, Dreadwind, and Galvatron toys into MegaWing Galvatron.
These instructions appeared in the same magazine which had, a few pages
prior, established Dreadwing and Smokejumper as part of the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Universe_war" title="Universe war">Universe war</a>.
Whether this means that Smokejumper is a dimension-hopper or simply
that he has alternate versions of himself in alrernate timelines is
unclear.</i></div>

- Dreadwind & Smokejumper (Decepticon, 2004)
- Accessories: 2 launchers, 2 missiles
- A Target stores <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Exclusive" title="Exclusive">exclusive</a> (released well after Robots in Disguise had been replaced by <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Armada_%28toyline%29" title="Armada (toyline)">Armada</a> at retail), Smokejumper is a <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Redeco" title="Redeco">redeco</a> of the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Generation_2_%28toyline%29" title="Generation 2 (toyline)">Generation 2</a> <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Smokescreen_%28G2%29" title="Smokescreen (G2)">Smokescreen</a> toy, transforming into a jet fighter of undetermined model that vaguely kinda-sorta resembles an <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Popular_Earth_vehicle_alternate_modes#F-22_Raptor" title="Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes">F-22 Raptor</a>.
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 Offical Transformers Collectors' Club Magazine. The instructions also included a note to check online for "Dark MegaWing Galvatron" directions, combining the whole schebang with <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Tidal_Wave" class="mw-redirect" title="Tidal Wave">Tidal Wave</a>. Due to the disintegration of 3H, this never materialized.
- The same mold is used by <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Beast_Wars_II_%28toyline%29" title="Beast Wars II (toyline)">Beast Wars II</a> <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Starscream_%28BWII%29" title="Starscream (BWII)">Starscream</a> and <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Robot_Masters" title="Robot Masters">Robot Masters</a> <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Smokesniper" title="Smokesniper">Smokesniper</a>. It was going to be used in <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Generation_2_%28toyline%29" title="Generation 2 (toyline)">Generation 2</a> as a new form of the original <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Starscream_%28G1%29" title="Starscream (G1)">Starscream</a>, but that toy was ultimately canceled.
