Smokescreen (Transformers)
Smokescreen is the name of several different fictional characters in the Transformers robot superhero franchise. Transformers: Generation 1 Smokescreen is one of the second year Autobot Cars in the Transformers series. His toy was remolded from Prowl and Bluestreak, itself originating from an earlier Japanese line named Diaclone.

He would cheat to win without hesitation, and often covers his true goals from his fellow Autobots. Autobot leaders use him as a spy amongst the ranks at times.
