Fiction

Generation 1 cartoon

Who cares? I'm more worried about where it's goin'!

Cliffjumper fired a silver version of the bazooka on Megatron from a great distance, hoping to end the war with one shot, but this merely alerted the Decepticons to his location.More than Meets the Eye, Part 1

Ironhide fired a green version of the bazooka as he and several other Autobots fired on the Decepticons as they attempted to launch Spike Witwicky through the Space bridge.Transport to Oblivion

As the Autobots struggled to keep the Decepticons from continuing their plot to orbit Cyberton around the Earth, Ironhide ran to Optimus Prime carrying a silver version of the bazooka, suggesting a call for reinforcements. The Ultimate Doom, Part 3

Toys

War for Cybertron: Earthrise

We hope you really like this weapon accessory!

• Cliffjumper (Deluxe Class, 2020)

Earthrise Cliffjumper includes a disconcertingly large cannon similar to one he briefly used in the G1 cartoon episode "More than Meets the Eye, Part 1", which can split into two smaller blasters and a pair of skis which can attach under his wheels as seen in "Dinobot Island, Part 2". The back end of the cannon can fold out to fit in his car mode's underside to help balance when skis are deployed, while also being usable as a melee weapon. It can also mount on either his thigh or on the side or top of his shoulder meaning you can put the entire cannon in these spots. Similarly, his detaching car trunk can either be put into the robot mode's back or be used as a shield with help of a flip-out peg. This peg and the back end of the cannon use a unique post and port to connect to each other.

The promotional renders and early product samples showcased at conventions showed his weapons and skis being silver, while the final product had them cast in black plastic (with the guns being painted silver except for their handles).

Generations Selects

Phew, okay, one other use of it is probably fine.

• Hubcap (Deluxe Class, 2020)

A Generations Selects add-on to Earthrise, Hubcap comes with a recolored version of Cliffjumper's hilariously huge cannon.

Okay, this is the third time, but at least it's an attractive purple!

A Generations Selects add-on to Earthrise, Bug Bite comes with a redeco of Cliffjumper's absurdly enormous cannon.

• Bumblebee (Deluxe Class, 2020)

Part of the second wave of War for Cybertron Trilogy Deluxe Class toys, promoting the Earthrise season of the Netflix cartoon, Bumblebee comes with a copy of Cliffjumper's ominously oversized bazooka, now painted in slightly darker gunmetal color and lacking the paint on the rear piece.

Buzzworthy Bumblebee

Dangit, Bumblebee got this weapon AGAIN? How many times can Bumblebee get Cliffjumper's weapon?!

• Worlds Collide (4-pack, 2021)

Released as part of the Buzzworthy Bumblebee "Worlds Collide" 4-pack, this Bumblebee features the Brobdingnagian bazooka included with all versions of the mold, this time painted green to resemble the bazooka Ironhide used in "Transport to Oblivion."

At least he has ear protection on moonbase two, given how much he loves this thing

• Cliffjumper (Deluxe Class, 2021)

To coincide with this Cliffjumper's cartoon-accurate deco, the bamboozlingly big boom stick is painted metallic blue to also match its appearance in the cartoon.

"I've gone beyond being just plain old Cliffjumper's Bazooka. I'm a death-dispensing murdergun!"
"That you are, Cliffjumper's Bazooka! So from now, on that's exactly who you'll be: Death Dispensing Murdergun."

• Creatures Collide (4-pack, 2022)

A second Target-exclusive 4-pack, this Buzzworthy Bumblebee entry has Goldbug toting the comically colossal cannon in black, with dark blue stocks.

Notes

• Cliffjumper's bazooka is described in the "More Than Meets The Eye, Part 1" script as a "BAZOOKA-LIKE weapon" and in the "Transport to Oblivion" script as a "bazooka-like tube, the end studded with a circular series of smaller 'rifle' bores." It's not mentioned in the "Ultimate Doom" script. In the packaging copy for the sixty-billion toys of it, it's referred to merely as a "weapon accessory."
