Jack Angel was great,he also did Astrotrain and the original Liquidator voice on Darkwing Duck.

I think Prime Smokescreen got the most character development. That's why I like him. We see how high on himself he is. He's a bad influence on Jack. He really scruffs up the squeaky clean do-gooder vibe of the Autobots. G1 Smokescreen seemed a 1-trick pony until The Gambler. Now as an adult, I wish it was more than smoke bombs that he employed for distraction. He could have been a cool ninja slipping in and out of Decepticon installations and when he gets cornered does the smoke bomb vanish. Of the Datsun bros, he's my favorite followed by Barricade, Prowl and Bluestreak.

While Prime Smokescreen did get a lot of attention, my biggest gripe with him is that he's basically Hot Rod. That and his name doesn't have meaning like the G1 bot did. You're right that they could have used G1 Smokescreen more and shown more of his skills, but I definitely loved his character.

I didn't know that Prime Smokescreen's blue and yellow color scheme was inspired by his Binaltech toy. I prefer that color over the predominantly white one. I just wished he got a deluxe class toy in that color scheme before the line ended.

Smokescreen was one of my favorite G1 designs. Between him and Tracks, I guess the blue bots caught my attention. I remember getting him, Tracks, ands Skids for my 8th birthday. Anyway, I’d love to see more cartoon versions of him and like many of the previous comments I too think the Prime version got the best character development. Thanks for the video and look forward to seeing more.

Here's a fun fact: Smokescreen had been mistaken for Bluestreak because of it's color deco. Smokescreen's signature magnetic smoke is actually thermite smoke when attracted to any metal surfaces.

Smokes got some good screen time in Season 2, but one scene always stood out for me: in Trans-Europe Express, Wildrider flies ahead of him, lands on the road, and is now on a direct collision course with him. It seemed like Smoky calmly stated the Stunticon's name but didn't do a darn thing to avoid him! So Wildrider smacked him head-on, and Drag Strip took a piece of him for good measure! For a 'Bot who usually knew how to deal with any situation, that wasn't one of his more shining moments!

Obscurus Prime is one I see someone suggest before.

Smokescreen: "I'm betting it all!" And then a suspected Jawa employee discovered that he's cheating and so he took advantage in sabotaging his gambling skills! Also in the previous episode "Child's Play", Optimus Prime forgot to introduce Smokescreen to Aaron!

The EPA wants to have a word with Smokescreen,he's a one robot example of Air Pollution.

Definitely one of my favorite autobots in Season 2, but one thing I was shocked about was his appearance in Transformers Prime, which I would say was the Hot Rod/Rodimus prime role, but overall a fantastic character as his race car mode in G1 is overall outstanding!

Such an underappreciated, cool Autobot. The Gambler is one of my favorite episodes of the entire series. Great video. 👏👏

I wish we had gotten a toy of Smokescreen as a Prime. Also I've always liked the idea of making him a car-jet triple-changer as homage to his classic and G2 alt modes.

I loves this guy. I was dense and had no idea he was basically a repaint.

He generates smoke to distract the enemy, one of the most original ideas for a character ever!

Always love Smokescreen in TFP. Sometimes, all needed is a rocky to even the odds or make a difference.

You took a big gamble with this video, but I think it will pay off big for you.

Always liked Smokescreen. The Prime version was my fav, I think.

Prime is the reason smoke screen is my favorite autobot I also love his g1 color scheme and I enjoy that in prime they decided to go with him instead of hot rod (prime smoke screen is similar to g1 hot rod) because it’s something new and it definitely would’ve been interesting to see him become a prime (also hope we get to see him and bluestreak more often)

1 of my fave Autobots...Smokescreen.

G1 Smokescreen is my favorite version, nothing beats the original. I also like the Masterpiece version since it is just a better G1. I also have to give the Alternator version a thumbs up since it's the only non original paint scheme I do like.

I like that the cartoon acknowledged that a transformer's brain is still techincally an "electrical target".

I would say the smokescreen prime title is hard to name but if I got silverstreak he'll be my smokescreen

Great video! He was always good for randomly throwing a wrench in his enemies plans.

The original is always the definitive best to me. You forgot to mention though how his number has changed from the original 38 over the years due to trademark issues with the real life car he was based on.

As a Finnish, I was super exited when found out the international version of Alternators Smokescreen was actually the Subaru driven by Tommi Mäkinen, as seen at 13:03.

Agreed. In every series, Transformers or otherwise, his voice was certainly iconic.

After all this time, I still feel Prime's Smokescreen got robbed, despite Optimus being my favorite Transformers character of all time, I feel watching Smokescreen grow into the role of a Prime was the way the show was supposed to go, the hype with the prime toyline made me consider the possibilities of Smokescreen as a Prime, even as generation 1 Smokescreen will always hold a special place in my heart, I still hope against hope that someday Smokescreen Prime will be a splinter timeline that will be touched upon.

These retrospectives are the best!

Love the video. Thanks!

Smokescreen was always one of my favorites. Great work on the video. I'll need to find a Prime universe Smokescreen to partner up with my MP, Siege and Earthrise versions.

I choose the G1 Smokescreen though, unlike the Transformers Prime Smokescreen, He can create smoke to distract the Decepticons.

In my Generations series, I would have Smokescreen team with Devcon on a space mission. In the future, Smokescreen would become fellow bounty hunter, while going by the name Crosswise.

one of my favorite autobots with jazz and tracks! they didn kill him on the movie! but they never explain why he and others did not appear in the 3 season!

Smokescreen is a cool bot

Smokescreen was one of favorite because of his hip-hop colors 🙃

He’s my second favourite autobot after Bumblebee. I really liked him in transformers prime I just wish he was introduced earlier in season 2. 😊

Well, this guy grew on me over the years, but my wife, who doesn't know or like Transformers, loves the paint on the Earthrise mold. I find that impressive. I also really like the Transformers Prime version of the character, but I did wished we'd see his prime mode, that would have been interesting. Great Retrospective, it's really good.

I don't even remember Smokescreen from the IDW 1/2 run, but I'm positive my favorite version is from there since that's my favorite version of basically every character.

Awesome retrospect! For me, G1 Smokescreen is the best to me. I always loved the fact that they used different trims of the Z for three different Autobots. Skyline GTR versions of them would be awesome!

2:10, are you concerned or wanting to allure him?! 0_o I can't tell with that smooth silky voice!! 3:20, a pretty good episode after a...WTF kinda episode. Smokescreen stole the episode along with Bosch. 4:02, sounds like a convention for developers if I ever heard one. 4:42, my god.. 5:37, Smokescreen - 2, Devastator - 0. Devastator sure has quite a losing streak against Autobots who supposed like they can't do much against the more powerful robots like Broadside and Smoker, eh? 6:13, Smokescreen -1, Unicron...0. 6:45, that makes sense. Confusion is all Dreadwind needed to make the Autobots think one of their own betrayed them. Little did they know the real Smokescreen was dead. Kinda like how Swoop was supposed to be called Divebomb in the TF UK comics but Divebomb basically fought against Swoop for that name. 7:56, I got an idea...why not call him Cranecase? You know? Made sense? 8:56, this guy was cool tbh. 11:07, I have a feeling he was supposed to be Hot Rod. 12:20, 0o0 13:01, Machine Robo should take a cue from this...'cough cough' Tamashii Nations 2019!! 13:38, now Mirage doesn't feel like he's a traitor, eh?

The notion of Smokescreen relieving the blatantly overused Hot Rod indeed is a welcome one! My personal fave is the Armada Smokescreen redeco done in G1 colours (from the 2-pack); plus glad to see so many of the character's familiar toys from various genres over the years being featured here! (Almost inspires me to get them all out of storage now for active display!) Great retrospect! Keep the passion burning (or should I say 'smoking'?)! ;-)
