The Autobots decided they didn't appreciate the duo's feel-good comedy tours of slapstick gags and their signature "Who's Got the Touch?" routine, so they had Dreadwind and his stage partner Darkwind executed. Totally downer punchline. Around Cybertron #5

- Smokesniper (2004)
- ID number: RM-13
- Reelease date: September 9, 2004
- Accessories: 2 launchers, 2 missiles, "Radial Pod"
Smokesniper was officially repurposed as Shattered Glass Dreadwind.
- Part of the third wave of Takara's Robotmasters toys, Smokesniper is a redeco of the Generation 2 Decepticon Smokescreen toy, transforms into a fighter jet of undetermined (probably made-up) model. He can also combine with Gigant Bomb's vehicle mode to form the large stealth bomber jet "Gigant Sniper". He has two side-mounted spring-loaded rocket launchers that become hand-weapons in robot mode; the missiles for these (and Gigant Bomb's launcher) have been retooled (again) to give them two grooves down their length, corresponding to twin guide-rails added to the sides of the launching tubes of his cannons. These missiles also only work with Smokesniper and Gigant, and prior versions of the missiles do not work with their launchers.
- He also comes with the unique solitarium weapon "Radial Pod", a non-firing double-barreled blaster, which can combine with Gigant Bomb's unique weapon, the "Pulverizer". Smokesniper's hands and leg-mounting points have been slightly retooled to accommodate the smaller peg size of the line's solitarium weapons, and as such, his launcher's handles have been similarly downsized.
- Smokesniper is the only iteration of this mold that was sold separately from its larger counterpart
