Mini-gallery of Universe Smokescreen

I agree, though, I dislike that the rear window is solid blue. It looks inconsistent with the rest of him.

And another thing: could they not paint his gun black? It's those little details that make all the difference.

Mistransformations aside, it looks nice.

Smokescreen looks pretty nice in those shots. But I agree that the blue rear window doesn't look right.

I suppose that I will just paint mine black like I did with my prowl.

I'm hoping the Henkei version has less yellow...

So far, I like Silverstreak the best of this mold, but overall, this is pretty nice looking figure.

I'll get him no matter what, but I hope Henkei gives us less yellow, a better colored weapon, and maybe even slightly more muted colors.

Smokescreen looks great aside from the overly thick white stripes along the sides. The blue back windows don't bother me and neither does the red gun. Although the gun would look better if painted black. Regardless, he's a definite must have for me.

Oh puh-LEASE. People bitch that Prowl is too dull, so we get the same mold in brighter colours and people still bitch. And insist Takara will somehow magically "fix" the problem with their chrome wand.

From what I could tell, the complaints for Prowl were that he was totally undetailed. The problem with Smokescreen is that a lot of his colors just don’t mix, like all the yellow. The gun being red is also a bit odd.

But Takara will probably chrome the gun, which not only would make it blend better, but make it more accurate.

No, you’re not “wrong” and no one is posting their opinion as fact. All I did was explain a view point an bit further.

It IS an fact however, that chrome on his gun would make him slightly more accurate. Of course, that doesn’t mean you have to like it more or less. Just simply pointing out where Hasbro could’ve done an better job as far as accuracy goes.

He looks awesome only thing i don't like is the blue chin, the yelow on the legs and the fake looking gun, make it black damn Hasbro.

I must say old Smokescreen looks much nicer in these shots with natural lighting than with proper studio lighting.

I doubt Henkei will be worth it for me. I don't care for chrome weapons. While I'll definitely be getting Ironhide, and maybe Hound, for Smokescreen I'll just repaint the gun and the over-the-shoulder missiles, maybe the hands too.

Wish the yellow taillights were clear like the headlights though. That could make me get the Henkei if they fix that.

Am I the only one who likes the white stripe being wider than G1? I think it looks much improved.
