Notes
- The symbol on Smokescreen's reborn version chest originated from Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger: 100 YEARS AFTER, in which his Sentai counterpart was a member of a group of monsters called Attacking Group of the Four Seasons. Each monster was season themed and donned the kanji symbol that represented their respective season, in Smokescreen's case: Spring.
- Smokescreen's line "Smell ya later!" is a call back to Gary's line, a character (and rival) from a video game made for the Gameboy Advance, Pokemon.
- Smokescreen is the first monster to be done in by the Dino Charge Megazord's Tri-Stego-Ptera Formation.
- Smokescreen is similar to Toxipod, a monster from Power Rangers Ninja Storm, as both monsters can used a stinky fog-type attack and can also hide in said fog.
