	~~==Notes==~~
	* Star Eagle is a part of [[Hasbro\|Hasbro's]] initiative to celebrate the USA's 250th anniversary in [[2026]] among their brands. Other toylines getting the USA treatment include [[Nerf]] so children can shoot red white and blue <s>guns at each other</s> blasters at soda cans and [[G.I. Joe (franchise)\|G.I. Joe]] through [[Super7\|Super7's]] licensing for a patriotic Real American experience.
	* While the press release of Star Eagle omits any mention of factions, the stock photo of the box labels them as a Maximal.

	:The truth of the matter is a bit more nuanced.

Some of Cliffjumper's deaths were part of climactic "massacre" storylines that killed off dozens of named characters; his appearances in ''Bumblebee'' and ''Siege'' probably came down to the fact that it was easier to finagle another pre-existing character from their limited pool of robot parts by simply recoloring Bumblebee's pre-existing CGI model, rather than any kind of ulterior commentary on the character.		:The truth of the matter is a bit more nuanced.
