Toys
Transformers (2007)
- Sonic Shock Smokescreen (Fast Action Battler, 2008)
Because really, there aren't enough homages of this deco. We need about forty-six more.
- A redeco of Ion Blast Autobot Jazz, "Sonic Shock" Smokescreen sports a red and blue colour scheme based very closely upon Generation 1 Smokescreen. In vehicle mode he's kind of a squat and cutified Pontiac Solstice while in robot mode he bears a decent resemblance to various Generation 1 hood-chest Transformers. Amusingly, Fast Action Battler Smokescreen's head is mounted on a piece of plastic extending from the roof/windshield piece, just like the Generation 1 toy. His articulation is limited to his shoulders, hips and knees, and has a missile launcher in place of his left hand.
Merchandise
3D Battle Card Game
- Smokescreen (2007)
- Card number: 12
He won that body in a poker game.
- Smokescreen is a 29-point "Uncommon" piece in the 3D Battle-Card Game. Constructed of punch-out pieces from randomly-packed plastic cards (two full robots per pack), he can be assembled into his car mode (model undetermined), or into a rather stumpy robot mode. One of his blaster-weapons is held in his right hand, the other can mount on either shoulder.
- He uses the same construction as the Cliffjumper and Jazz cards. This style is similar to the one used by Barricade, Earth-mode Bumblebee, and Swerve.
Trivia
- Battle-Card-Smokescreen's robot mode is clearly designed after Alternators Smokescreen, though without the IP-infringing Subaru and sponsor markings.
