As the original G1 Smokescreen toy's head was identical to that of Prowl and Bluestreak (aside from colour).

Marvel/Sunbow modifed the heads of Prowl, Bluestreak and Smokescreen to help make them look different from each other.

Prowl has the most toy-accurate head out of the Fairlady Autobots. You can see that they altered Bluestreak's helmet has a different crest and is missing the side lobes ("ears"). Bluestreak also has a more pronounced chin.

Now here's Smokescreen's comic/show model:

You can see that his helmet is shaped like a hooded cowl which does distinguish him further from Prowl & Bluestreak.

Binaltech Smokescreen's head features the cowl.

The head was retooled for Binaltech Bluestreak with the cowl removed.

BT Red Alert's head is a straight repaint of Bluestreak's (no retooling)

And yeah, the artists/animators also made differences throughout the bodies, but I'm just comparing heads here. You get the idea. :)

There's some paint apps around the face, but no retooling.

Won't be hard to custom that though :D

thanks Gok... I figured that is what a cowl is but just wasn't sure :/ however thanks for the re-confirmation.

cowl = horn-like thing :D at the head

rumor is going around that the Club Magazine has pictures of a new Universe BW Dinobot...I hope its not a stuff up like the Cheetor one.

Heh, you know it will be Kup. :D

Cosmos looks so damn awesome. It even looks like the yellow arms should flip out.

As for the big mighty mugg, why? Man, those are the biggest heap of http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l1...Icons/shit.gif

So it means Smokescreen wont be a CLub Exclusive figure will it? It's going to be mass retail one? Hasbro's not going to pull a seeker episode on us again will they?:mad::mad:

Apparently his robot mode is alot more like the cartoon's CGI design, but to get this he transforms differently to the original toy.
