Forget about whether or not the character is being released by Hasbro; This is really the only time that I can recall in TF toy history that a main show character, who isn't a carbon copy of another character's chassis, has to play second fiddle and use someone else's toy mold for his own toy. Are you guys content with this? Just happy he's getting a toy?
Speak up!

Nope, and I'm already working on a custom of my own to remedy the situation

I'm kinda on the fence with him, mostly due the "yeah he's mostly a repaint of Knockout who I didn't like in toy form but at least he has a toy"-frame of mind. I think I'm gonna wait it out though, he's just not screaming buy me.

The toy's a major disappointment. I'm cool with repaints if they either look like that on-screen (seekers, battle-chargers, etc.) or aren't canon.
Smokescreen obviously has his own design, but they chose to cheap out on him and stick his head on Knockout's repainted body.

Absolutely not! This is such a cheap cop out for both TT and Hasbro to avoid giving an important screen character a new and unique mold. I realize they do this a lot, but I am far from content!

While I like the Knockout' mold quite a bit. A prominent character like Smokescreen deserves ys own toy.
I think the only oddball here is he is getting a Cyberverse figure with a brand new mold. So why no deluxe figure?
I... have the power!!!!

Short answer: no.
Long answer: hell no.
He deserved his own mold.

no, not happy at all
smokescreen is a major character and he should have his own mold.
apart from that, he doesn't look like knockout at all
