This version was a planned release in the Universe line but was later cancelled, which is a shame.

Boy, that goes back there. I was thinking the only Smokescreen I remember was from the Cybertron line. At least in these colors...

The only reason I remember it so well is because I wanted this version

Yeah, the Universe line was pretty cool. I would have so picked up that Smokescreen if they had released it, cause Smokescreen is my favorite G1 Autobot that appeared in the show.
I also prefer some of the Universe repaints to the original versions, which I didn't have anyway(another plus for Universe). Ok, so I got most of my Universe guys on clearance, but that should discount my liking of Universe Night Slash Cheetor(better colors, in my opinion), Blastcharge, Repugnus(great little figure, love the beast mode), and last but certainly not least, Frostbite, who should have been a Pred to begin with. Easily one of the coolest looking beast modes out of Beast Wars, and the color scheme is great.
The Universe line probably would have survived if they had released more Japanese only molds, like with Overbite(exceptionally cool cause he's only slightly different than the original release), and Big Convoy(still overrated). It would have helped if the Micro combiners weren't so stinkin overpriced. $4 for a single Micro and a combiner piece? Exactly why I didn't buy any, cause it was such a rip-off in my opinion.

I agree more Japanese only molds would have helped. I wish we could have gotten both BWII Lio Convoy and Galvatron.

The number of times they have used that mold boggles my mind. The mold is one of my least favorites. And on top of that they released the figure twice with a different name but similar paint job.

I have a thing for Cybertron Runamuck, and there was a purple Decepticon version of this (Oil Slick? something like that...) that I won on eBay but it was originally part of a two pack, and I like that one cuz of it's colors, largely though for reasons unknown.
