Fiction
Yolopark comics
Born in a universe full of generic Cliffjumpers, this Transformer became 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 and discovered the existence of a multiverse with countless iterations of Cliffjumper. When 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 one that actually lived to see the end of existence 18 billion years later. Realizing what an ideal existence this is 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.

Merchandise
Yolopark
- Cliffjumper (AMK Mini Series, 2025)
- Accessories: 2 additional pairs of hands (Splayed, Pointing), gun
- Released exclusively for the unofficial Agabyss-organized BotCon 2025 convention, this Yolopark AMK Mini Series kit of "Cliffjumper" is a redeco and retool of the same line's Bumblebee with a new head more accurate to Bumblebee's original toy. As with all AMK Mini model kits, Cliffjumper must be completed by snapping the pre-painted pieces together, and comes with two additional pairs of hands. She also comes with a gun accessory. Originally marketed as a new Decepticon character named "Ladybug", a notice went out that the toy would be sold as a new version of Cliffjumper, because Hasbro saw an earlier edit of this very page and thought the mention of "unofficial" referred not to BotCon 2025 but to the character, which led them to prefer the use of an established character instead.
- This version of the mold was also used to make Glyph at the same convention.
Notes
- "Cliffjumper" is based on the red variant of the 1983 Micro Change MC-04 Mini Car Robo 03 Volkswagen, sold in the original Transformers toyline as 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 paid homage to the red version by releasing "Bumble Red Body".
- Cliffjumper's Yolopark toy was conceived entirely out of a desire for a second use of the new headsculpt created for Glyph. The color red was chosen as an obvious homage to the aforementioned red variant of Bumblebee, which then led to the name "Ladybug" being picked as the most obvious choice for a "red bug".[1] Once the color and name were selected, then came the decision to make the toy a Decepticon and female.[2]
