Smokescreen (Cybertron)


 * Smokescreen is an Autobot from the Cybertron portion of the Unicron Trilogy.



Smokescreen is a real joker. He's always ready with a quip or glib comment for his pals. He keeps the mood on his team light even in the darkest of situations.

For the Decepticons, however, he has a plethora of mean practical jokes that range from simply annoying to lethal. Many Decepticons have found themselves trapped in unexpected traffic, then ambushed by the Autobots, all thanks to Smokescreen's chicanery.

 * Smokescreen (Deluxe Class, 2006)


 * Part of the final wave of Cybertron deluxes, Smokescreen is a redeco of the Cybertron Autobot Crosswise, Smokescreen transforms into a Bugatti Veyron sports car (a very, very expensive limited-production, built-to-order series of cars). Plugging a Cyber Planet Key into the back end of his bumper flips up a pair of non-firing rocket launchers, a feature also usable in robot mode. His rear spoiler also contains a spring-loaded missile launcher which becomes a hand-held weapon in robot mode. The rear side-panels can flip around to the front to form non-firing hip-mounted guns as well.


 * Smokescreen comes with a silver-bordered Earth-style Cyber Planet Key, with the Cyber Key Code "d4v6" tampographed on the back.

Trivia

 * Though Smokescreen is obviously an homage to Generation 1 Smokescreen, his robot mode is also an homage to the Action Master Rad, taking various color elements, particularly the helmet.


 * It's possible the reason "Smokescreen" was chosen as the theme of this redeco was because "Smokescreen" was an early name for the base mold, Crosswise.


 * The original Hasbro stock photos and test shots of Smokescreen gave him colorless clear plastic windows and flame-missile. In the final verison, they have a blue tint.
