So, more pix are out - here's the link: http://tformers.com/transformers_database/universe/374/smokescreen_Autobots_Deluxe.html

Noooooooooo~ Why have we gone to grey missiles!??! And a return to grey instead of what I thought was 'white is the new grey' (which I liked).

Oh well- I'll still get it and do appreciate the effort - besides, I'll be modding it :D
Personally, the red gun ain't doin' it for me either :(

[MV75]

Meh, not working enough for me.

And you just know that the paint will be all overlapping, the spoiler will be all blue, the crotch won't have the yellow app, and the wheels will be all black.

[jacksplatt11]

Yeah, doesn't do much for me either

Bluestreak/Silverstreak is my favourite version of the mold

[Pulse]

Yeah I know he's not perfect but... I'll still be picking him up :)

[liegeprime]

Hmm a little coloring mod on this one is needed - Mithril Silver for the weapons and shoulder missles, Black for the forearms. That should do the trick.

[GoktimusPrime]

I'll be waiting for Henkei Smokescreen - I'm expecting Takara to chrome those missiles up. ;)

I do like how they've coloured the jawline blue though to mimic the cowl from Smokescreen's G1 cartoon model. That was a nice unexpected touch. :)

[Pipesqueak]

I think with the annoying transformation (does anybody else keep popping of the bloody doors when transforming it?) and the silly-looking neck, one of this mould is enough. And that has to be Henkei Prowl.

[kup]

Not a fan but TakTom's attempt at Bluestreak has dissapointed me a bit so I may get this version because its cheaper. I am sure reprolabels will make a good sticker sheet upgrade.

[Lord_Zed]

He looks like a clown!

But I suppose he always did. Not sure wether to go henkei, or just repaint the parts I don't like. I'll know when I see what the Henkei looks like. (And what the dollar does)

These pics (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/universe-classics-20-29/image-gallery-of-universe-classics-smokescreen-166210/) are sure making me want Smokescreen more & more... :)

Likewise! :) though can still wait when it goes on sale. <cough> :D

[TheDirtyDigger]

Few touch-ups in bot mode and he should work fine.

[heroic_decepticon]

that looks terrible

[SilverDragon]

The colours jar too much for me.

[k.wong23]

Looks good enough for me :D

Henkei just out of the option now ...

[GoktimusPrime]

This version looks okay. I'm waiting to see how the Henkei version looks - if it's substantially better then I might go for it, otherwise if not I'll go with the Hasbro version. I always wait until I can see both versions so I can make an informed decision. :)

[Robzy]

I don't mind him... although I would've preferred white missile launchers!

[Stompy]

The colours work much better in vehicle mode than in robot mode.

Now where is the Jazz redeco?

[GoktimusPrime]

Oh please no. Jazz really should be a unique mould. :/

[Stompy]

Well I'm hoping Jazz is a unique mould too. But it wouldn't surprise me if they just do a redeco as its too easy and for them to do. Add blue stripes and voila. Not that I'm for a redeco of Jazz as he deserves s o much more, especially since he was my fave Autobot back in my single digit years.

If they do do a new mould I want those radar dishes on his shoulders for the sound-pain-giver look.

Now where is the Jazz redeco?

My fear is that we may never see that to 2010 when Classics 2.0 (or will it be Classics 3.0?) given the fact that right now TFA Jazz is sitting on the shelves in its various forms. Eric at the meet said that Hasbro distinctly does not want to confuse the market about characters and I suspect for that reason having a jazz for any of us is going to be a long time coming. :(

I don't understand that from Hasbro. They can have 50 Primes, Megatrons and Starscreams at the same time but they can't have a couple of Jazzs?
