    So while I like the tv version of the character's design, I still wondered what he would've looked like in a G1 colored paint scheme. I found a cool picture of a Mclaren MP4, which his mold is "losely" based on, so I decided to blend the 2 into this guy here. I custom mixed some Kustom Kolor paints and sprayed him up to look more like his G1 self, and used some decals from an MP4 model kit that I found. Afterwards he recieved several coats of Alclad Klear Kote, followed by micro polishing and buffing.

    Enjoy!

    ^ What he said!

    Man, if Hasbro released a redeco of Smokescreen that looked like this, I'd buy it.

    I like it! though I'd add some more silver or black or white to the chest or shoulders, if not more sponsors somewhere..

    still, looks much cooler than the original deco.

    The car mode is ridiculous, looks great! The robot mode needs a bit work though cause there's too much blue. Maybe go even more in the G1 direction?

    That is AMAZING. What a difference the right deco can make to an average looking mold.

    LOVE the car mode. I think the bot mode could use some white on the chest since it's supposed to be hood.
