Transformers-Smokescreen
Description:
Smokescreen (December 14, 2013)
ID number: MP-19
Accessories: Disruptor Rifle, 2 Jamming Launchers
Masterpiece Smokescreen is a redeco and retool of MP-17 Prowl, and transforms into a licensed Nissan Fairlady 280Z-T that’s been modified to look like the Electramotive Datsun 280ZX Turbo. Smokescreen features a new head, shoulders, upper arms, front bumper, rear bumper, spoiler, front window, rifle, and shoulder rockets compared to Prowl. Unlike Bluestreak he uses the same front waist piece as Prowl. As with other figures in the Masterpiece line, he is intended to be an accurate representation of his cartoon model, and even features an extensive red, blue, & white paint scheme. Roughly as tall as a Voyager Class figure, he is also in scale with MP-10 Optimus Prime, and can fit inside Prime’s trailer in vehicle mode. In contrast to previous larger entries in this line, Smokescreen lacks die-cast parts, and his tires are cast in hard, non-rubberized plastic.There are some issues concerning aligning the car’s roof onto the body of the figure. In order to properly attach the back/roof top of the mold, the mid chest panel located in front of the torso must be tilted slightly forward and attached to the small indentation under the figure’s ”car hood”. This will allow the back frame to straighten and get the two pegs on the windshield to lock into the two slots at the back of the car hood.For accessories, he comes with his rifle, which can be held with his hands, or mount onto a flip-out mounting point on his roof via the separate peg on its jointed handle. He also comes with a pair of non-firing Jamming Launchers that can attach to slots in front of his windshield in vehicle mode, or attach to flip-out tabs on his shoulders in robot mode.He sports various made-up sponsor logos replacing those logos found on the real-life vehicle, namely ”Smoke Tactics” (a nod to his name and function of ”diversionary tactician”) instead of ”Electramotive”, ”SlotFever” instead of Goodyear, ”Devcon Oil” replacing the driver’s name, ”Huck” instead of ”Bosch”, and ”Disturbance” instead of ”Valvoline”.If purchased in Asian markets outside of Japan, a collector coin is included.This sculpt was also redecoed and retooled into MP-18 Streak.
