Glass gas undocumented feature: Involuntary description in detail of what is happening to you.

The Autobot Cliffjumper wields the fearsome glass gas against his foes. It coats his foes and alters the crystalline structure of their component metals, making them as brittle as glass. Cliffjumper is always pleased with the gruesome result... as long as he remembers to stay upwind.

On another occasion, Cliffjumper released the gas (underwater) to shatter part of the floor of the Decepticons' undersea base, allowing him to rescue the kidnapped Sparkplug Witwicky. The Ultimate Doom, Part 1

Later, he somehow used the gas to form a solid sphere of glass crystal around Megatron. Unfortunately, Megatron shattered it like, well... you know... Heavy Metal War

He tried using glass gas on Nightbird, only for the ninja to plug the end of the nozzle with a missile. Enter the Nightbird

The next time he used his glass gas gun was on Devastator during a battle near the Solar Power Tower. In response, Devastator swept his arm, causing a gust of wind which dissipated the gas harmlessly. Later in the battle, Cliffjumper was back to using lasers. The Master Builders
