Title:
Smokescreen
Description:
Smokescreen (1985)
Takara ID number: 45
Accessories: "Electro-Disruptor Rifle”, 2 missile launchers (left & right), 3 missiles
The Transformers Smokescreen transforms into a Datsun 280ZX Turbo based upon the Electramotive Devendorf/Sharpe touring car driven by Don Devendorf. Though Smokescreen is a Datsun 280ZX, he is a redeco/retool of the standard body used by both Bluestreak and Prowl, featuring a much larger front fender and a rear spoiler. He is predominantly blue, red and white in both vehicle and robot modes. Like Bluestreak and Prowl, he features two spring-loaded missile launchers mounted either side of his head, and is armed with a silver "Electro-Disruptor Rifle”.
The Mexican IGA variant uses Bluestreak and Prowl’s front bumper and rear window molds, without the racing spoilers.
Contrary to popular belief, the 38 decal is not a reversed "83” (often said to be an attempt to avoid legal issues). In truth, the real life car has raced under both numbers, although admittedly, "38” is the more obscure number for this car compared to "83” since it was only used once, for the 6 Hours of Fuji race on October 3, 1982. When the Diaclone toy was being imported to Transformers, there were plans to omit the car-accurate 38 decal from the hood, and replace it with an Autobot insignia—as seen in Smokescreen’s package art, instructions, and fictional appearances—but the final toy keeps the decal, leaving it up to the buyer where to place the Autobot symbol. Common solutions are above the 38, on the flap that ends up behind the robot head, or simply slapped directly on top of the 38. Obviously there’s nothing stopping you from peeling the 38 decal off, if you want a really show-accurate look.
SMOKESCREEN
FUNCTION: DIVERSIONARY TACTICIAN ”A look can be deceiving; a touch can be lethal.”
Whether engaged in raging battle or friendly conversation, an ulterior purpose usually exists. Job is to lead enemy astray. Sneaky, but charming and affable...considered most devious yet most trusted of Autobots. In car mode, emits thick smoke from tailpipe. attracts to metal. In robot mode, shoots missiles which wreak havoc on enemy aircraft radar and guidance systems...electro-disruptor rifle shorts out electrical targets.
