:''Cliffjumper is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Energon (franchise)|Energon]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].''
{{mainpic}}
An impressively-skilled high-risk thrill-seeker, '''Cliffjumper''' relishes challenges and stunts that put him in danger. Unfortunately, these stunts often put his teammates at risk as well during combat, which has earned him many reprimands.

:''Japanese name'': '''Overdrive'''
:''Hungarian name'': '''Sziklamászó''' ("Cliff-climber") <ref>Yes, the name mix-up's present in the Hungarian dub, meaning he only has his normal name ''once'', that with the wrong voice actor. His pseudo-name is '''Lejtő''', meaning "Slope".</ref>

Cliffjumper was one of the rookie soldiers who were sent into the rift to locate [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime's]] unit. Serving under the venerable Autobot warrior [[Bulkhead (Energon)|Bulkhead]], Cliffjumper and his close friend [[Downshift (Energon)|Downshift]] both have a lot to learn from their elder commander.

Late in the ''Powerlinx Battles'', Cliffjumper was aboard the ''[[Miranda II]]'' when she was crippled by the Decepticon forces occupying [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. As the other Autobots abandoned ship, he and Optimus Prime stayed on board to sucessfully allow [[Kicker]] and the [[Omnicon]]s to disembark safely. Unfortunately, the pair failed to save the crippled ship and were subsequently rescued by [[Omega Supreme (Energon)|Omega Supreme]] and [[Superion Maximus]]. {{Storylink|Galvatron (Energon episode)|Galvatron}}

He is also known as Downshift.

{{note|Cliffjumper's "power-up" coloration is based on his US-only [[redeco]], [[Beachcomber (Energon)|Beachcomber]].}}

**''Japanese ID number'': '''SC-18'''
**''Accessories'': Left & right launchers, 2 missiles

: Cliffjumper transforms into a large Baja-style buggy with electronic sounds and hood-mounted twin missile launchers. These launchers become hand-held weapons in robot mode. He can also transform into the top half or bottom half of a larger robot, able to combine with most other Deluxe and Mega-sized Autobots.

: The [[Takara]] release of Cliffjumper has a similar, but more primary, higher-contrast coloration. As with most of the larger Japanese releases of ''Energon/Superlink'' toys, his electronics were removed.

: This mold was also used to make ''Energon'' [[Beachcomber]].

==Trivia==
* As referenced above, the Energon cartoon switched Cliffjumper and [[Downshift (Energon)|Downshift's]] names around for the first few episodes, from their first appearance in "[[Improsoned Inferno]]" (sic) through to "[[Farewell Inferno]]", in defiance of the toy names. From "[[Crash Course]]" onward, however, the correct names were restored.
