ACToys has posted an image of Universe Smokescreen's packaging bio which can be seen here- http://img119.imageshack.us/my.php?imag ... n01yq6.jpg

This upcoming figure will fall under the 25th Anniversary banner and will round out the Autobot 350Z trio, also consisting of Prowl and Silver(Blue)streak.

Smokescreen is part of Wave 5(Deluxe) of the Universe line, sharing the wave with Dinobot and is estimated to be released in December.

This guy can't come fast enough for me. He's the best looking one of this mold IMO. But, then again I'm biased. :mrgreen:

This guy is really nice looking, but dont like the back windshield part and the shoulder mount rockets needs to be painted different and the gun should be black, silver or chrome! other than that, he's mine!!!!

First things first, I'm stoked that they are bringing Smokes out so quickly. However, here's my list of tasks that I need to do to be totally happy with him:

1. Replace forearms with a set from a Prowl fig.
2. Swap out rear tail lights with those from a Prowl fig.
3. Paint back windows black.
4. Remove yellow from spoiler.
5. Repaint yellow "horns" gold.

Really, none of these are a big deal, but it's a shame that Hasbro can't give us figures that match the originals...c'mon, it's not hard.

Skilled at making the enemy look in exactly the wrong place at the wrong time, Smokescreen is master of techniques such as; sneaking up behind a Decepticon, tapping them on the left shoulder and then quickly stepping to the right.

"Hey, Starscream! Your cockpit's open!"
*Starscream looks down*
*Smokescreen pokes him in both eyes and runs away giggling*

Smokey will be mine in order to complete the "Z trio." I will probably get it around my birthday in January. But this is my list of tasks on him:

1. either leave the rims as is or paint them silver
2. paint the tail-lights with clear red paint
3. paint the legs white
4. paint the arms blue and black
5. paint the gun black or gun-metal gray
6. paint the chevrons gold
7. if the paint application on the face is sloppy, I will fix it
8. try to match the blue on the spoiler and paint over the yellow

It will look very close to the original Smokescreen and it would be a nice addition to my collection.
