    So potentially Beast Hunters Smokescreen - blue kibblepack = regular Smokescreen?

    Very nice, but they can paint the red and blue detailed 38 on the side, but not his red crests on his face.

    But still very nice.

    I was thinking that. Might have to see if a head swap with the Takara-Tomy remold is a possibility, because I think I prefer the look of the head on that one.

    He's elevated from "no" to "possibly" in my book. Almost wish I'd held fire on the Arms Micron one now!

    Gah, so cute! That poor thing (why so blue, Smokescreen??) needs to be let out of the package so he can beat up 'Cons and play immature pranks on unsuspecting (but deserving) humans.

    I can't wait for this release.

    Again, this looks like it might have potential. I'll eagerly await reviews but I might just pick this up if I can de-Beast Hunters him.

    Also I'm still very surprised this even exists. Since Takara did the AM version I would have assumed they knew Hasbro was not doing a version of the character.

    He looks better than expected. He's actually got his own mold like he should have from the start.

    Given the timescales of the lines, Takara-Tomy must have known. I suspect the reason for not using him in their own line was either because the mold simply wasn't available in time because Hasbro was fine-tuning it for their release, or possibly because like us Takara-Tomy thought the inaccurate spikes might not have been removeable. It might even be that Takara-Tomy were working on the remold before Hasbro started working on theirs, though that would imply this toy went from engineering concept to packaged article in about six months. I think the average TF takes about 8-12 to pull off.
