Smokescreen is an eager young Autobot recruit, all too ready to fight in the Great War. While he may talk a mile a minute and be greener than Bulkhead's paintwork, Smokescreen at least has the sense to use his wits when charging into a situation, rather than heading in firing blind.

Back on Cybertron in the latter part of the war, Smokescreen was keen to be a soldier and underwent training with the Cybertron Elite Guard though it was more of a boot camp at the time. To his disappointment he ended up on security detail at the Iacon Hall of Records guarding Alpha Trion. Though he learned much, he still yearned for combat and his chance came when the Decepticons attacked. He still didn't get the chance to fight, as he was knocked into stasis by a Decepticon bomb and woke up on one of their transports. Giving the guard the slip, Smokescreen stole an escape pod which took him to Earth.

There he joined members of Team Prime in fighting some Decepticons and convinced them he was on the level. They took him to Outpost Omega One and the human Jack Darby gave him a tour during which he recognized some of the relics from the Hall of Records. Optimus refused to let him go on a mission to recover Red Energon, and instead he and Jack went to find him a new alternate mode. When Prime's team got into trouble, Smokescreen had the idea of using the phase shifter to help and convinced Ratchet to let him try. On the battlefield, he succeeded in using it to separate Starscream from the Apex Armor, ultimately resulting a victory (more or less) for the Autobots. With that success, Optimus welcomed him to Team Prime. New Recruit
