Revealed first under the Club Magazine forum of
http://www.transformersclub.com, we have confirmation of the repaint of Universe Prowl toy into G1 Smokescreen.
It does look nice folks. Head over to take a look. (TFCC has politely requested that the pictures remain only on their site for the time being.)
Remember, posting the preview picture elsewhere is not permitted on this site and will result in a warning or banning from this site as well as possible forfeiture of your club membership.
Just a heads up for those who aren't aware...

So, it gets a mass retail release, right? I was a little confused if it’s club exclusive or not.
Anyway, glad to have him. Any ideal on when he comes out?

Sweetness
According to what Pete says he is part of wave 2 of the 25th anniversary line, so I'm assuming mass retail on these.
Wonder if we'll be getting more preview pics in the next magazine?

Ugh, that means he probably won’t be out till near spring!
Anyway, to those who can see it, how does it look? G1 accurate? Does he have any retooling, or a new head?
It is okay to describe him right?

Smokescreen looks good. Robot mode only. No remolding.

Well that’s good. In this case I’m glad they didn’t waste resources on making him less accurate.
One more question: are his shoulder cannons painted? If you can’t tell I’m excited.

I think this is the repaint I've been most looking forward to.

In the picture, they like a dull "prototype" gray. Which is really odd since the rest of the toy is painted really nicely. He's even paint silver, not just gray plastic. Could just be a painted prototype and they forgot to paint the missile launchers.

It’ll be there for everyone soon enough. At least they try to give people some reason to join the club.

I will find it hard to leave Smokescreen on the shelves... I'm also very curious to see what Legends Warpath looks like, not so interested in Hot Shot or BW Dinobot.

You need to actually start reading the posts people put up and worry less about getting +1 to your own.
The first post
clearly states why a picture is not shown.

Counterpunch, I can't seem to find the image on the club website when I am logged in there. I haven't been able to find it in the message boards over their either. It appears like they must have taken the image down on their own site as well.
Hmmm

Go to the forums and into the Club Magazine discussion forum there.

Yeah. I've read that several times. Not found. Went back and then read it again a few times. Making sure i didn't miss any hidden lines. Still did not see it.
I may be slow. But pls don't make FALSE accusations at your whim. Others can't find it too. Why not accused them too? Why am i always being singled out? If you're not happy with my post count, you can have it. Or make some yourself. It's a free country. I can't use the post counts to purchase TF toys. So quit casting a red eye on it.
