Same here man.
Want this for Christmas, just in case Hasbro makes a spiked-up version for Beast Hunters. Micron on his back is epic.

 

Shame as cool as his design is in the show, it get made with this mold I hate.

 

He's all right considering his lack of show accuracy. I still can't wait to add him to my Smokey collection.

 

I, too, share this pain...

 

agreed

 

can't say I like it. i was almost thinking this toy would call for a slight retool of Bee's mold just like FOC Sideswipe is a retool of Jazz. Infact that's really what I was most wanting of to happen.

Maybe just take his head and repaint a Bee toy.

 

No. This is... no. Just... no. Not feeling this.

The two are too different for this to work for me.

 

Personally i think he looks great, however i dont expect a lot of other people to agree as it isnt show accurate which is something i personally dont judge a toy on.
I hope this gets a hasbro release because im not a big fan of the stickers (they look good, but im just not excellent at applying them)

 

Smokescreen's character model looks a bit like Bumblebee and Knock Out merged so I see how this KINDA works but I'll still wait on a new mold.

 

Agreed. It works for me, especially with the stickers applied and the Arms Micron plugged into his back for faux wings.

As for those saying Bee would have made a better mold, his chest is completely wrong for Smoke's curves (Bee's chest is too wide and squared off). I think Takara did the best with what they had.

 

DO you think shapeways can do something to make this figure even better? Totally would be awesome if they added a door wing and shoulder guard mod.

 

The only thing that really bugs me is the shoulder guard. Door wings I can do without.

 

this is just a lazy release. if anyone here had half a brain, they'd tell Hasbro/Takara to stop pulling these cheap cash-grabs by not purchasing him.

i mean seriously, he was practically the main character for most of the last season, and all they could come up with is a Knockout re-tool?

that's pathetic.

 

Same here & don't get me started on the micron backpack requirement for accuracy.

 

Guys this is likely Takara's way of having a Smokescreen toy in time for his debut later on in Season 2 the same reason the FOC Shockwave is being sold as TFP Shockwave in Japan. None of them means they'll be the only toys of the characters that showed up on the show later on in Season 2. We'll likely see new molds for them that a lot more accurate next year.

 

Other than the head sculpt, I don't like it. To me, it's not worth it.

 

I'm still a bit iffy on it, but I like Arms Micron Knockout, so I went ahead and ordered Smokescreen anyway.

 

I probably won't get this. I'm just going to hope Hasbro makes their own. They have no reason not to. If anything, they have a ton reasons to do their own.

I would buy this if it was an extensive FE Bumblebee retool.

 

Yeah, I'll grab the Legends mold if there's no other DLX mold - or, skip the character altogether like I did Airachnid...

 

Knockout's figure is HIDEOUS. I hope this isn't HasTak being cheap and that Smokescreen gets his own mold sometime in the future. If there were a release planned for a unique mold, then I dunno why Takara would retool Knockout. I'm guessing things aren't looking good for an actual Smokescreen toy.
