CowlOriginally Posted by Saintly
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.
