Cliffjumper (Movie)
From MediaWiki
| The name or term "Cliffjumper" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Cliffjumper (disambiguation). |
- Cliffjumper is an Autobot from the Movie continuity family.
Cliffjumper shoots first and asks questions much, much later. The only intelligence he's patient enough to gather is "Decepticons were here, and now they're dead". Despite his surly and impetuous nature, however, Bumblebee seems to like him.
Toys
Transformers (2007)
- Cliffjumper (Deluxe, 2008)
- As part of the AllSpark Power refresh of the Movie toyline, Cliffjumper is a red and silver redeco of the Deluxe Camaro Concept Bumblebee toy, and naturally, transforms into the concept car for the concept vehicle for the 2009 Chevrolet Camaro.
- Cliffjumper features two Automorphing gimmicks during transformation: (a) swinging his hood down into robot mode position also moves his arms up and (b), swinging his feet down will move the rear fenders up and behind his calves, as well as swinging the rear windows to his inner calves in a spring-loaded action.
- Cliffjumper features a superb range of articulation, with ball joints in his shoulders, neck, torso, wrists and upper legs, with ratcheting and swivels making up the remaining joints. Cliffjumper comes with a plasma cannon that he can hold in either hand. For added play value the cannon can Automorph into an energy blade by opening up the halves of the gun barrel and swinging them back.
- Care should be taken when removing the cannon from Cliffjumper's hands, as excessive force can damage the wrist ball joint socket.
- Contrary to popular opinion, the red pieces on the back of Cliffjumper's feet are not supposed to be heel spurs, and they have not been mis-assembled. They are supposed to fold up to emulate the detail found on the CGI design for Bumblebee.
- Cliffjumper Vs Recon Barricade (Legends multi-pack, 2007)
- Released as part of the AllSpark Battles refresh of the Movie toyline, Legends class Cliffjumper is once again a red and silver Bumblebee repaint. He comes packed with a Legends class Recon Barricade, itself a redeco of the previously-released Legends class Barricade.
- Cliffjumper (Cyber Slammer, 2007?)
- Part of the fourth wave of Cyber Slammer toys, Cliffjumper is (natch) a redeco of the concept-Camaro Cyber Slammer Bumblebee. He has motorized action: when you push down on the car, it zooms forward and slowly pops into robot mode!
Merchandise
3D Battle Card Game
- Cliffjumper (2007)
- Card number: 2
- Cliffjumper is a 31-point "Common" piece in the 3D Battle-Card Game. Constructed of punch-out pieces from randomly-packed plastic cards (two full robots per pack), he can be assembled into his car mode (model undetermined), or into a rather stumpy robot mode. One of his blaster-weapons is held in his right hand, the other can mount on either shoulder.
- He uses the same construction as the Jazz and Smokescreen cards. This style is similar to the one used by Barricade, Earth-mode Bumblebee, and Swerve.
- Cliffjumper (Robot Heroes, 2007)
- Robot Heroes Cliffjumper is a redeco of the first-wave Bumblebee figurine; a non-transforming super-cute rendition of the character. He is exclusive to the Best Buy release of the movie DVD release, along with a battle-damaged version of Robot Heroes Optimus Prime.
Trivia
- Amusingly enough, Cliffjumper's 3D card robot mode is clearly designed after Alternators Swerve, though with a few movie-aesthetic concessions thrown in, mostly in the look of the feet. It's exceedingly likely the names of the two cards got mixed up, as card-game-Swerve bears more than a passing resemblance to Bumblebee (and by extension every other version of movie Cliffjumper), and Cliffjumper sure seems to be relegated to being a Bumblebee redeco since, well, everything after that first toy.
- With three toys, a Robot Hero and a Battlecard, Cliffjumper has by far the most merchandise for a Transformers movie character not actually appearing IN the film.
