'''<s>Ladybug</s> Cliffjumper''' is a brash, spiteful, individualistic lady. So dear to her is her own unique identity that she deeply hates being constantly compared to the lookalike [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]]—a loathing that can even lead to very specialized genocide. But if people wanna constantly call her "Cliffjumper", well, she's gonna commit to it as long as she can be ''the'' Cliffjumper. There's a bit of nuance to her, however; while she is determined to be her own person, she doesn't take kindly to being used for the machinations of the powers that rule the [[multiverse]]...

===Yolopark comics===
Born in [[Primax 625.12 Gamma|a universe]] full of generic [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumpers]], this [[Transformer]] became so frustrated with being regarded as one of them that she finally had it and decided to commit to being ''the'' Cliffjumper. Abandoning her original name and taking care of her "fellow" Cliffjumpers via a [[Hate Plague]] tailored to affect only Cliffjumpers, "Cliffjumper" was content till she found [[Caretaker]] XII in [[Antex (polity)|Antex]] and discovered the existence of a [[multiverse]] with countless iterations of Cliffjumper. When [[Pick-Up (Bat-Robô)|Pick-Up]] pointed out to her that 99.98% of recorded Cliffjumpers were already dead, "Cliffjumper" realized that her actions were in actuality part of a multiverse-wide joke and took her revenge on being "used" by resolving to rescue all Cliffjumpers across universes.

After saving more than 12 million Cliffjumpers, "Cliffjumper" found [[Cliffjumper (G1)#Generation 1 cartoon continuity|one]] that actually lived to see the end of his universe 18 billion years later. Realizing what an ideal existence this was for a Cliffjumper, the rouge rogue travelled through time to Cliffjumper's manufacture and took his place in history, ensuring she would become '''''the''''' Cliffjumper. {{storylink|A Cliffjumper(s) Tale}}

*"Cliffjumper" is based on the red variant of the [[1983]] ''[[Micro Change]]'' MC-04 Mini Car Robo 03 Volkswagen, sold in [[The Transformers (toyline)|the original ''Transformers'' toyline]] as [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Bumblebee]]. In the years since, Bumblebee has near-universally been represented by the yellow variant of the same toy, but in [[2015]], ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' paid homage to the red version by releasing "[[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#MP21R|Bumble Red Body]]".
