After a few days of speculation on whether or not Beast Hunters Smokescreen‘s spikey armor can be removed or not, we finally have an answer thanks to an in-hand gallery on ACToys. This gallery shows off the toy with and without the armor we’ve previously seen in other shots, showing off the mostly screen-accurate robot mode that is hidden underneath the armor, giving those who weren’t happy with Arms Micron Smokescreen an option for a more accurate toy.
Beast Hunters Smokescreen will be released in the second wave of Beast Hunters deluxes alongside Bulkhead, Starscream and the Predacon Ripclaw.

Nice, a sleek sports car that transforms into kibble.
LeTigre
Who doesn't love a figure that transforms with guns in hand?..Dual wielding at that!
Brawn is one of the few movie figures I intend on keeping.
Gilgamesh
Oh yes, definitely. Personally, I've never been too bothered with kibble as long as it manages to at least look good. For example, HFTD Brawn, whose giant wings never rustled my jimmies. It was just too cool a figure for me to care.
LeTigre
There's been worse on figures accepted as good or even great.
I really dig that alt mode: I really hope this guy gets the Wheeljack treatment and we see a few redecos..
firehawc_69
There we go, that's what I wanted to see!
I'm already eagerly awaiting Reprolabels for this. He needs his "double 38s."
Gilgamesh
Thanks RedAlert!
That arm kibble is extreme, but I'm still diggin' the figure. The transformation looks interesting.

There is a pretty good gallery of Smokescreen here :

Digilaut
Well, not really the same – but you're right, it's actually close enough that it would work flawlessly.

If the blue does come off I may just pick it up..

What's with the smirk Smokescreen has on his packaging and the closed mouth smile he has in box?
Stepper
The paintjob for smokescreen based on the pics seem nicely painted

Don't worry, I just checked the Facebook announcement for Ripclaw, and they definitely said next month– which, of course, would be February.
Keith Prime
All we know is he's in Wave 2. I'd assume he should release before FoC Grimlock (due in March).
I vaguely remember something from Hasbro saying Wave-mate Ripclaw was "due out next month" a bit ago, but w/ my head injury, that can't be trusted.
garinhash
is there a relsease "date" for smokescreen?
my local toys r us had a few figures from the BH line (4 figures to be exact…… its like a tease ….)
i must have this guy! i love his character and i hope we see plenty of him in seas 3
Shatterpoint
It'll be a new head like his MMO counterpart.
Who actually shares a body with Smokescreen.
Hypershock
Exactly. It sucks that the joints are loose and the plastic feels cheaper, but we're kind of getting used to that, thanks to The Economy. Im glad the weapony thangs are removable, as well. Plus, some things have been wayyy over-simplified of late, and i'd welcome a little bit of a challenge, as long as it's not too much of a pain in the butt.
Yea, i think they could do Jazz or Bluestreak maybe. Prowl could work, but since they've made sure to stay true to their concept art (Ironhide, Thundertron) i think they'd take special care to. But maybe theyll go the other way and do the Barricade we saw in tandem with that Prowl.
Autovolt 127
False. They'll have to retool his face with a visor like the Prime Prowl concept design they made a while back.
Doc Wheeljack
I'd actually be into that… Different strokes for different folks and all that…
autobot prowl
Heh, here would be one funny idea. If they remolded Knock Out into Smokescreen, how bout remolding this mold into an new Knock Out!? That might actually look pretty good out of this mold, seeing as how it failed as Knock Out in the first place!
DPrime
Not a bad way to end the line though. Technically it's Beast Hunters, sure, but this'll be going in my Season 1/2 Prime display.
I'm not sure if I'll be getting the rest of the Beast Hunters stuff (though that probably depends on how much I like the show), but I'll pick this up at some point, for sure.
