Due to his temper, '''Cliffjumper''' never made it as a spy.  He does excel at collecting data from those who did, however, and presents this information to his superiors. Given the data that passes in front of his optical sensors, he's pretty high-strung regarding potential Decepticon attacks, and always ready for a brawl. He also takes care of [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel Minor]]'s dirty work.

"Traitors? Fancy that."

Due to his temper, Cliffjumper never made it as a spy. He does excel at collecting data from those who did, however, and presents this information to his superiors. Given the data that passes in front of his optical sensors, he's pretty high-strung regarding potential Decepticon attacks, and always ready for a brawl.
