As a fan of both prime and armada,i always loved the armada smokescreen,his personality was really cool and prime smokescreen is a unique one,and the fact that prime smokescreen was going to be Like hot rod in some point make it even funnier

“Just call me the Autobot who isn’t there!” -Jack Angel RIP

I think Prime Smokescreen got the most character development. That's why I like him. We see how high on himself he is. He's a bad influence on Jack. He really scruffs up the squeaky clean do-gooder vibe of the Autobots. G1 Smokescreen seemed a 1-trick pony until The Gambler. Now as an adult, I wish it was more than smoke bombs that he employed for distraction. He could have been a cool ninja slipping in and out of Decepticon installations and when he gets cornered does the smoke bomb vanish. Of the Datsun bros, he's my favorite followed by Barricade, Prowl and Bluestreak.

Smokescreen is my favorite autobot

I didn't know that Prime Smokescreen's blue and yellow color scheme was inspired by his Binaltech toy. I prefer that color over the predominantly white one. I just wished he got a deluxe class toy in that color scheme before the line ended.

Smokescreen (G1) is intelligent & highly skilled, with C-Class Firepower ! Yes, bring him back !

I find the tfp smokescreen very funny

One of my favorite Autobots in G1

I’m glad you mentioned Smokescreen’s gambling addiction.

My favorite smokescreen is G1 and Prime he is the best character 😀😀😀👍👍

Smokescreen is my favorite underrated autobot ever

*I LOVE ❤️ THIS RETROSPECTIVES*

"Eat my smoke!" from Key to Vector Sigma has been forever ingrained in my brain since childhood 😂

The G1 version was my favorite character. He had a smooth talking voice

Smokes got some good screen time in Season 2, but one scene always stood out for me: in Trans-Europe Express, Wildrider flies ahead of him, lands on the road, and is now on a direct collision course with him. It seemed like Smoky calmly stated the Stunticon's name but didn't do a darn thing to avoid him! So Wildrider smacked him head-on, and Drag Strip took a piece of him for good measure! For a 'Bot who usually knew how to deal with any situation, that wasn't one of his more shining moments!

The EPA wants to have a word with Smokescreen,he's a one robot example of Air Pollution.

Love the lion king reference THANK YOU for that !

Smokescreen: "I'm betting it all!" And then a suspected Jawa employee discovered that he's cheating and so he took advantage in sabotaging his gambling skills! Also in the previous episode "Child's Play", Optimus Prime forgot to introduce Smokescreen to Aaron!

Smokescreen was one of my favorite G1 designs. Between him and Tracks, I guess the blue bots caught my attention. I remember getting him, Tracks, ands Skids for my 8th birthday. Anyway, I’d love to see more cartoon versions of him and like many of the previous comments I too think the Prime version got the best character development. Thanks for the video and look forward to seeing more.

I still need a G1 Smokescreen...

One of my fave colour schemes of any bot

I loves this guy. I was dense and had no idea he was basically a repaint.

i love the fact that transformers prime smokescreen was going to be like hot rod in some point but he didn't get enough love,i wish if we are going to get a unique autobots like prime smokescreen

He's my favorite. I have a g1 , masterpiece and the one that came out last year

The g1 version will always be my favorite.

1 of my fave Autobots...Smokescreen.

I loved Prime Variant Smokescreen. and frankly Can we stop calling it Deus Ex Machina, and start calling it Solus Prime Machina ? :)

If Smokescreen was a Prime, what would his name be?

Always liked Smokescreen. The Prime version was my fav, I think.

Smokescreen has always been one of my favourite Autobots and love it when he creates smoke to distract Decepticons, a very underrated Transfomer

Definitely one of my favorite autobots in Season 2, but one thing I was shocked about was his appearance in Transformers Prime, which I would say was the Hot Rod/Rodimus prime role, but overall a fantastic character as his race car mode in G1 is overall outstanding!

Here's a fun fact: Smokescreen had been mistaken for Bluestreak because of it's color deco. Smokescreen's signature magnetic smoke is actually thermite smoke when attracted to any metal surfaces.

Great retrospective!! I have the combiner wars figure 🤙

Always love Smokescreen in TFP. Sometimes, all needed is a rocky to even the odds or make a difference.

I wish we had gotten a toy of Smokescreen as a Prime. Also I've always liked the idea of making him a car-jet triple-changer as homage to his classic and G2 alt modes.

You took a big gamble with this video, but I think it will pay off big for you.

Smokescreen always been one of my favorite autobot. Especially his color scheme.review was special thanks.

jack angel's voice had so much presence.

Prime is the reason smoke screen is my favorite autobot I also love his g1 color scheme and I enjoy that in prime they decided to go with him instead of hot rod (prime smoke screen is similar to g1 hot rod) because it’s something new and it definitely would’ve been interesting to see him become a prime (also hope we get to see him and bluestreak more often)

Such an underappreciated, cool Autobot. The Gambler is one of my favorite episodes of the entire series. Great video. 👏👏

I like that the cartoon acknowledged that a transformer's brain is still techincally an "electrical target".

The original is always the definitive best to me. You forgot to mention though how his number has changed from the original 38 over the years due to trademark issues with the real life car he was based on.

I like the idea of Smokescreen being abdicated to gambling.

Great video! He was always good for randomly throwing a wrench in his enemies plans.

I would say the smokescreen prime title is hard to name but if I got silverstreak he'll be my smokescreen

As a Finnish, I was super exited when found out the international version of Alternators Smokescreen was actually the Subaru driven by Tommi Mäkinen, as seen at 13:03.

My favorite version is Armada Smokescreen!

G1 Smokescreen is my favorite version, nothing beats the original. I also like the Masterpiece version since it is just a better G1. I also have to give the Alternator version a thumbs up since it's the only non original paint scheme I do like.

These retrospectives are the best!

Love you're retrospectives my favorite version is the prime version it introduced me to smokescreen can't wait for a Thundercracker and sunstorm retrospectives someday

Smokescreen is a cool bot

I wouldn't mind some of his toys having now seen some of them.

0:47 -Absolutely, RodimusPrimal!😉👍

I had a toy of the Cybertron version of Smokescreen twice when I was a kid as it kept breaking, but my favorite interpretation of him is his Aligned Continuity/Prime counterpart.

I choose the G1 Smokescreen though, unlike the Transformers Prime Smokescreen, He can create smoke to distract the Decepticons.

*SMOKESCREEN AN AUTOBOT SUPER FUNNY AND AWESOME* 🇸🇻

As you can tell they don't just call him Smokescreen for no reason!

After all this time, I still feel Prime's Smokescreen got robbed, despite Optimus being my favorite Transformers character of all time, I feel watching Smokescreen grow into the role of a Prime was the way the show was supposed to go, the hype with the prime toyline made me consider the possibilities of Smokescreen as a Prime, even as generation 1 Smokescreen will always hold a special place in my heart, I still hope against hope that someday Smokescreen Prime will be a splinter timeline that will be touched upon.

Smokescreen was one of favorite because of his hip-hop colors 🙃

10:14 Cliff “The Rock” Jumper, best version solely cause he’s voiced by him.

G1 Smokescreen is the best.

They were great

Prime smokescreen is my favorite

I’ve been a fan of Smokescreen’s G1 design a lot! I’m glad this restrospective was finally made, you did a good job Rodimus! Another character brought to life by the legendary Jack Angel (RIP)!

I have long dreamed of a series or comic run that has all the fairladies unite under prowl as a spec ops team. Think about it, prowl, bluestreak, smokescreen and-here's the shocker-a converted barricade! Just saying I'd watch it lol

I like transformers prime somkesceen but g1 somkesceen All the way great video rodimus stay safe till all are one

Yeah, Crosswise being misnamed as Smokescreen during Transformers Cybertron was weird, it has to be said.

I love your retrospective series . keep up the great work rodimus primal

Smokescreen was always one of my favorites. Great work on the video. I'll need to find a Prime universe Smokescreen to partner up with my MP, Siege and Earthrise versions.

Yeah, I got them and I like smokescreen because he’s one cool dude he inspired me to do footwork

Love the video. Thanks!

In my Generations series, I would have Smokescreen team with Devcon on a space mission. In the future, Smokescreen would become fellow bounty hunter, while going by the name Crosswise.

That Diaclone figure was obviously basically the same guy, but not having those shoulder missiles really made the figure look better, IMO. Would have been cool to see him animated that way instead of looking like his head was a cannon sandwich.

one of my favorite autobots with jazz and tracks! they didn kill him on the movie! but they never explain why he and others did not appear in the 3 season!

He’s my second favourite autobot after Bumblebee. I really liked him in transformers prime I just wish he was introduced earlier in season 2. 😊

Loved the video thank you 👏

I love Smokescreen

G1 and Prime

G1 smokescreen was a one trick pony megs got hip to the truck and told the cons to shoot the whole cloud in a later episode

Earthrise G1 is the best form IMO.

If Optimus Prime assembled a team of himself, Smokescreen, Whirl and Brawn; they'd probably be the Autobots' version of The A-Team.

He got a Cybertronian Mode SIEGE figure also 👍🏻

I love the G1 version Smokescreen he was a great character, awesome Retrospective on him.👍👍😁

now , with the Blitzwing Legacy leak . I'm sure about black market on youtube . I saw two reviewers with that toy before hasbro's announcement . I'm a fan too . I know the hype , but i'll not support that people anymore . I support LazyEyebrow , Emgo , Auvelier , MexiColectorPrime , Rodimus Primal , JobbyTheHong ,TFanPage 101 ... I apreciate their effort . Thanks to you , Rodimus . Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong !!!!!!!!!

Well, this guy grew on me over the years, but my wife, who doesn't know or like Transformers, loves the paint on the Earthrise mold. I find that impressive. I also really like the Transformers Prime version of the character, but I did wished we'd see his prime mode, that would have been interesting. Great Retrospective, it's really good.

2:10, are you concerned or wanting to allure him?! 0_o I can't tell with that smooth silky voice!! 3:20, a pretty good episode after a...WTF kinda episode. Smokescreen stole the episode along with Bosch. 4:02, sounds like a convention for developers if I ever heard one. 4:42, my god.. 5:37, Smokescreen - 2, Devastator - 0. Devastator sure has quite a losing streak against Autobots who supposed like they can't do much against the more powerful robots like Broadside and Smoker, eh? 6:13, Smokescreen -1, Unicron...0. 6:45, that makes sense. Confusion is all Dreadwind needed to make the Autobots think one of their own betrayed them. Little did they know the real Smokescreen was dead. Kinda like how Swoop was supposed to be called Divebomb in the TF UK comics but Divebomb basically fought against Swoop for that name. 7:56, I got an idea...why not call him Cranecase? You know? Made sense? 8:56, this guy was cool tbh. 11:07, I have a feeling he was supposed to be Hot Rod. 12:20, 0o0 13:01, Machine Robo should take a cue from this...'cough cough' Tamashii Nations 2019!! 13:38, now Mirage doesn't feel like he's a traitor, eh?

Well, this is a distractingly good birthday present!

G1 Smokescreen is only one I know..

I like the G1 version the most too bad he wasn't in the 3rd season although seeing him in Headmasters for a few seconds is better than nothing.

Neat.

He was a good character in prime for sure

Taken Offline by a Cosmic Powered Starscream.

Smokescreen also appeared In the Japanese opening for season 3, as the movie was not shown in Japan at the time.

I don't even remember Smokescreen from the IDW 1/2 run, but I'm positive my favorite version is from there since that's my favorite version of basically every character.

There's a fourth autobot that goes with prowl, bluestreak and smokescreen, an autobot named sliverstreak

I knew there was a reason I liked Prime Smokescreen. Why didn’t they name him Hot Rod or Rodimus for the Prime series?

Wheeljack was an animation error and I am sticking to it.

0:01 Dont forget Marty Mcfly

Rodimus primal my favorite version of smokescreen is transformers prime smokescreen

Smokescreen could have still been killed in Autobot City. When we look at the storyboard scene, Windcharger's head was facing Smokescreen. In the movie, Windcharger's head was facing opposite of Wheeljack. So Smokescreen's body was laying on the other side of Windcharger opposite to Wheeljack. At the same time, the Smokescreen-colored Wheeljack can be seen as a separate Autobot from both Smokescreen and Wheeljack. The Smokescreen-colored Wheeljack was closer to the launcher than Windcharger and Wheeljack's corpses. Smokescreen-colored Wheeljack was lying next to the ammo crates. Look at 4:44 and 4:48 or 4:49. Edit: I had been doing two years of reflecting and I thought I should update on what I had thought about the topic.
