BoYs Will bE bOys: MP-19

Hello ladies and gentleman, finally I got the last and final Nissan brothers! non other than MP-19, Smokescreen!!! Well at first, I did not think of getting him, because I don't really dig his character in G1 and he does not really get a lot of screen time and not one of the most popular character there is, but since I got MP-17 and MP-18, I was thinking ah... what the heck, lets get the last Nissan brother...... But boy am I glad that I got him. His color scheme is the best among the 3 Nissan mold I would say and there is actually slight difference in transformation compare to MP-17 and MP-18, which made me very happy :)

OK, now we go straight to our next MP review... Smokescreen! As we all know he is a Nissan Fairlady 280Z-T and he is a Cybertronian diversionary tactition, as his name apply- smokescreen. He literally releases smoke as cover for the autobots to escape in a few battles, and I assume he has same many autobot lives. He was said to be one of the bodies beside dead wheeljack in Transformers The movie 1986 and when I look at it again, I did notice a body on the ground in blue and red before the scene where Arcee pulls Windcharge's body, but I cant really be sure.

He comes in a black box similar to his brothers. And his accessory includes 2 jamming launchers, disrupter rifle and his MP coin.

Box is similiar to the other autobot cars

As you open the box, he will be in his alternate mode, with his guns and shoulder weapons.

Comes together with a collector's card, its a good addition to the ones I've had.

His stats is slightly better than Bluestreak, his lowest will be his strength, which is 4.

His shoulder weapons are actually jamming launchers.

And..... his rifle is a disrupter rifle. Basically all his weapons are used to confuse and jamming his enemies, making them fight less efficiently, but not fatally wound them.

Below is his instruction manuals

As I take a closer look at Smokescreen and I have to say that he has the best paint job among the 3 Nissans. His colour schemes are basically much better quality than Prowl and Bluestreak. And when you compare his bright red to Sideswipe, you can really see the difference. His paint job quality is top notch and I can't really find anything to complain as he has no paint blemishes. I am very satisfied with it.

Side view looks good as well and really love the racing car paint job.

His weapon can be mounted on top of his hood, similiar to the other MP cars by lifting up a small panel below his hood.

And the cool thing is that you can actually mount all his weapons in his alternate mode. Looks like he has the most fire power among the 3 Nissans, haha.

Transformation wise, he is very similar to MP-17 and 18, and the only difference is his shoulder. MP-17 and 18's tyres are facing backwards but for smokescreen, his shoulder tyres face upwards. In the G1 series, his tyres did face upwards and this is as cartoon accurate as you can get.

He does not have shoulder canons like Prowl and streak, instead, he has to small pegs that holds his jamming launchers.

From the back, he looks similiar as the other Nissan brothers

His face is G1 accurate, but he was not one my favorite characters because I didn't really like the way his face looks. Bus he is cartoon accurate non the less.

Here he is with warpath and powerglide.

His rifle fits nicely into his hands similiar as Prowl and Streak.

From this angle we can clearly see his shoulder tyres are facing upwards. But because of this slight difference, you can actually pose him more easily for a straight forward pointing motion, as he does not have a shoulder plate like Prowl and Streak.
