Notes

  1. This figure, originating from Takara's Micro Change line just like the rest of the Mini-Cars, was sold on Cliffjumper cards. After being referred to by nicknames such as "Bumblejumper" and "Bumper" among fan circles for over a decade, Dreamwave Productions finally established him as an actual character with the official name "Bumper" in 2004.
