He may have got it from a legit source. BBTS is already filling preorders for Smokescreen.

I'm surprised how much people seem to be liking this toy. I'm glad others like it and I hope they really enjoy it; but that kibble is killing it for me. Two layers of kibble just hanging off the back of his arms. And I just don't think the bot mode looks very good. Anyone else feeling that way?

At this point, I don't care that the transformation cheats on the chest.

This looks awesome.

Great looking toy (minus the battle armor)

I see potential for customizers - jazz, wheeljack, deadend, sideswipe..

I really hate that fake-hood chest. For that reason alone, I like the AM version better.

Yes and no. I am happy I'm not alone on my thoughts for this figure :D I don't understand how this is any better in terms of portraying smokescreen. Neither does the job really. AM Smokescreen is missing the door wings, and the shoulder armour, and is marred simply by being a re-tool. This one is a giant cheat, with the entire car hood hanging off his arms-if anyone can see that on the cgi model do put me straight >:oP

I do however think it looks a decent figure, nice car bot, and if I see it in stores I will buy it. Just not Smokescreen, and still not deserved of it's praise I think. A show accurate smokescreen without this level of cheat and kibble is possible, so why herald something that hasn't tried? I'm not that fussed, I'm not getting nerd ragey myself over either, I just don't know why everyone who wanted 'a perfect Smokescreen' seems happy to say this is it :HEADHURTS:

Only complaints are the non-show accurate colors, but I like it.

Great review!

BH Smokescreen looks like a solid figure, easy for me to pick up when I see him.

To those not interested in the Arms Micron Smokescreen, you can always leave the stickers off and repaint him into Prowl! :D
