Snokey => Smokey
This is what I get when I don't spell check what I post

Its not to split up Jack and Arcee.
Its because teaming him up with Miko would be a freaking Suicide Squad.
Posted by a Cobra Viper on September 5th, 2012 @ 2:31pm CDT
He just jumps over Bee and Arcee, with a really bad camera motion to boot, to the frontline of the skirmish, picks off one or two 'cons, and dances around avoiding very few incoming shots. *sigh* Maybe season 3 will be good.

Now I am wondering how he will fare out for me in the series, and if he will be added to my "Collection of Fame" as well!

And to all that had ever doubted the power of Smokescreen:
HAHAHAHAH! Now give us a toy. And don't make it a repaint of Knock Out like Japan or I'll rip your faces off.
Edit: Now that I look at him again, he does resemble Knock Out rather closely (aside from a completely different head mold and the wings, which are on the other side of his wheels ), more the toy than the animation model. As long as they don't completely screw it up, I'm fine with a retool.

Now that I got that out of my system, I hope he ends up being a great new character.

Oh don't worry, you're not! My coworker in the office next to me came over to see what was so funny! I was cracking up!

Because it's rock, not dirt. Basically a rock shelf.
a Cobra Viper wrote:They need to shore up the animation. Everything seems clunky.
If you say so. I'm inclined to disagree. If it seems choppy, it's because there's a lot of going on and a lot of jump cuts from one bit of action to the next.
a Cobra Viper wrote:How do none of the Autobots know this bot, but he happened to just find them on Earth on his own and by himself?
Did you somehow miss the "All Autobots, come to Earth and join my band of merry misfits!" message they intentionally reminded us of in "Out of the Past" already?

i wonder if he will actually use smokescreen for tactical purposes
Posted by Sabrblade on September 5th, 2012 @ 7:45pm CDT
To be honest, Jackie still hasn't really wowed me yet as much as I'd hoped he would have by now. In all episodes he starred in, another character outperformed him, IMO:PrymeStriker wrote:Sabrblade wrote:If this show plays its cards right, I just might have a new favorite Autobot.

- "Con Job" - Makeshift was a cooler Jackie than the real Jackie.
- "Loose Cannons" - Dreadwing made that episode.
- "Triage" - Ratchet. 'Nuff said.
- "Hurt" - Miko's thirst for revenge only to learn how hollow it was in the end was more impactful to me.

No, not Ratchet, he NEEDS things! Like a body! Arcee, I like, but I could also live without. Though I feel the dynamic would suffer without her, since she's the usually-level-headed-subordinate...when she's not pissed off and run-and-gunning.

I just love Wheeljack's character, not any "battle action" that he does (which he's done plenty of ass-kicking. He just hasn't killed anyone important yet ). If Smokescreen ends up being as annoying as Miko used to be, Wheeljack stays #1 (but top Ratchet as #2. You can't pass up that badass look Smokie's got).
But we never know, Wheeljack could be the next member of the Autobots to die. He's gotten pretty beat up by Dreadwing, Soundwave, and Hardshell. Don't know if he has much left in him.

New Autobots should stop making an impression by shooting explosive fuel-- it might be bad for PR!

Given that a Smokescreen repaint was announced some time ago, I'd say probably.

Name says Smokescreen, color scheme says Prowl. Mostly. Personality... Hot Rod.
Posted by triKlops on September 6th, 2012 @ 11:43am CDT
should keep things interesting, hopefully his toy will be available in the US and
not an exclusive ala Breakdown or Unicron.

Maybe the character's Bluestreak/Silverstreak - or whatever what he's going by.
While the IGN clip is called "Smokescreen in Action," it's notable that no one in the clip refers to him as such - they don't even know him. And without confirmation by the show runners, he could still be called something else. However, based on the evidence shown so far, I will concede that the character is very likely going to be named Smokescreen.

I'm Smokescreen's bitch. Got a problem with that?
Also, I don't know why he doesn't look like Knock Out to anyone. He sure as hell looks like Knock Out's toy aside from the door-wings and arms (which I explained how they could re-engineer that here) to me.

I certainly see it, especially in the chest, how it's segmented into the middle part, which sits underneath and forms the main bulk of the torso, and the the two upper-chest panels which fold down on the side. Very reminiscent of the KO deluxe.

It's just like Shockwave. He was going to look like his WFC design (which I still think it's part of G1, not Prime), but then looked like he has elements from the G1 and movie designs. And another example in the past was G1 Megatron, as he looked younger (younger looking face, handheld fusion cannon, helmet is black and looks like hair). Take a look from the Marvel Comics version:PrymeStriker wrote:BeastProwl wrote:PrymeStriker wrote:Kick some ass, Smokie. I'm waiting for you tonight.

That Megatron makes me think of a Robot Master out of Megaman.

That would be me. I think it was mostly how narrow his face is compared to the other 'bots.
