:''Cliffjumper is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|live-action movie]] [[continuity family]].''

'''Cliffjumper''' shoots first and asks questions much, much later. The only intelligence he's patient enough to gather is "[[Decepticon]]s were here, and now they're dead". Despite his surly and impetuous nature, however, [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] seems to like him.

==Fiction==

{{spoiler}}

===''The Reign of Starscream''===

Cliffjumper was part of an Autobot assault team on [[Mars]], under the command of [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]]. Together with his teammates, he attacked the Decepticon warship ''[[Nemesis (Movie)|Nemesis]]'' {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 2}}

==Toys==
===Transformers (2007)===
*'''Cliffjumper''' (Deluxe, 2008)
**''Accessories'': Blaster cannon/blade

[[Image:Movie_Cliffjumper_Deluxe.jpg|thumb|left|First is [[Bumblebee|yellow]] now is red next is [[Bug Bite|white]]!]]

:As part of the ''AllSpark Power'' refresh of the movie toyline, Cliffjumper is a red and silver [[redeco]] of the Deluxe Camaro Concept [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] toy, and naturally, transforms into the concept car for the [[wikipedia:Fifth-generation_Chevrolet_Camaro|concept vehicle for the 2009 Chevrolet Camaro]].

: Cliffjumper features two [[Automorph]]ing gimmicks during transformation: ''(a)'' swinging his hood down into robot mode position also moves his arms up and ''(b)'', swinging his feet down will move the rear fenders up and behind his calves, as well as swinging the rear windows to his inner calves in a spring-loaded action.

: Cliffjumper comes with a plasma cannon that he can hold in either hand. For added play value the cannon can Automorph into an energy blade by opening up the halves of the gun barrel and swinging them back. Care should be taken when removing the cannon from Cliffjumper's hands, as excessive force can damage the wrist ball joint socket.

: Contrary to popular opinion, the red pieces on the back of Cliffjumper's feet are ''not'' supposed to be heel spurs, and they have ''not'' been mis-assembled. They are supposed to fold up to emulate the detail found on the CGI design for Bumblebee.

*'''Cliffjumper''' (Cyber Slammer, 2007)

[[Image:Movie_CyberSlammers_Cliffjumper.jpg|thumb|right|150px|This is Red Turbo Ranger, I'm rollin' out!]]

: Part of the fourth wave of [[Cyber Slammers]] toys, Cliffjumper is (natch) a redeco of the concept-Camaro Cyber Slammer Bumblebee. He has motorized action: when you push down on the car, it zooms forward and slowly pops into robot mode!

*'''Cliffjumper Vs Recon Barricade''' (Legends multi-pack, 2007)

[[Image:Movie_Legends_CliffjumperBarricade_toys.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Where's my gun?]]

: Released as part of the ''AllSpark Battles'' refresh of the ''Movie'' toyline, Legends class Cliffjumper is once again a red and silver Bumblebee repaint. However, being a straight redeco, the alt mode remains a classic Camaro, instead of a Concept like the Deluxe figure is. He comes packed with a Legends class [[Barricade (Movie)|Recon Barricade]], itself a redeco of the previously-released Legends class Barricade.

*'''Cliffjumper''' (Legends, 2008)

: An individually packaged release of the Legends class toy, released within Europe.

==Merchandise==
*'''Cliffjumper''' (3D Battle-Card, 2007)
**''Card number'': '''2'''

[[Image:3DCard-Cliffjumper.jpg|thumb|right|200px|He'd have jumped that cliff if he hadn't swerved.]]

: Cliffjumper is a 31-point "Common" piece in the [[3D Battle-Card Game]]. Constructed of punch-out pieces from randomly-packed plastic cards (two full robots per pack), he can be assembled into his car mode (model undetermined), or into a rather stumpy robot mode. One of his blaster-weapons is held in his right hand, the other can mount on either shoulder.

: He uses the same construction as the [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] and [[Smokescreen (Movie)|Smokescreen]] cards. This style is similar to the one used by [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]], [[Earth]]-mode [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], and [[Swerve (Movie)|Swerve]].

{{-}}
*'''Cliffjumper and Optimus Prime''' (Robot Heroes, 2007)

[[Image:Movie_RobotHeroes_BestBuy_Cliffjumper_OptimusPrime.jpg|thumb|left|Dance, red boy, DANCE!]]

: [[Robot Heroes]] Cliffjumper is a redeco of the first-wave Bumblebee figurine; a non-transforming super-cute rendition of the character. He is [[exclusive]] to the Best Buy USA release of the [[Transformers (2007)|movie DVD release]], along with a battle-damaged version of Robot Heroes [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]].

{{-}}
==Trivia==
* This Cliffjumper is quite obviously a throwback to the original [[Generation 1]] [[Cliffjumper (G1)|robot of the same name]]. not only are the personalities very much alike, but the original Clijjumper's first toy had an identical transformation to the [[Bumblebee (G1)|original Bumblebee]], and his subsequent toys were redecos of later Bumblebees. And so the pattern continues...

[[Image:MovieCGCliffjumper.jpg|thumb|250px|One bee, two bee, red bee, [[Glyph|blue bee]]]]

* An early test [[Industrial Light & Magic|ILM]] animatic (seen in the Circuit City exclusive content web site) of Bumblebee's model shows 'Bee facing off against a red doppelganger. Hmmmm.

* Amusingly enough, Cliffjumper's 3D card robot mode is clearly designed after ''[[Alternators]]'' [[Swerve (G1)|Swerve]], though with a few movie-aesthetic concessions thrown in, mostly in the look of the feet. It's ''exceedingly'' likely the names of the two cards got mixed up, as card-game-[[Swerve (Movie)|Swerve]] bears more than a passing resemblance to Bumblebee (and by extension ''every other version'' of movie Cliffjumper), and Cliffjumper sure seems to be relegated to being a Bumblebee redeco since, well, everything after that [[Cliffjumper (G1)|first toy]].

* With three toys, a Robot Hero, and a Battle-Card, Cliffjumper has '''by far''' the most merchandise for a ''Transformers'' movie character not actually appearing IN the film.
