Cliffjumper (Animated)
| 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 Transformers Animated continuity family.
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.
Fiction
Animated cartoon
- Voice actor: David Kaye
Cliffjumper worked with then-Sentinel-Minor at the Autobot boot camp. He was listening wordlessly to Sentinel's complaints about his latest recruits, and casting aspersions on Ultra Magnus's mental state. When asked about the echo that Sentinel was hearing, he gave no reply. Shortly after that, Cliffjumper hauled away the cadet Wasp, who had been arrested for being a Decepticon spy. (Too bad they got the wrong guy...) Autoboot Camp
Years later, Cliffjumper was assigned to Longarm Prime in the intelligence division. During a series of concentrated Decepticon raids on space bridges, Cliffjumper alerted his commander that Ultra Magnus had ordered the entire space bridge nexus shut down in order to prevent the Decepticons from using any to reach Cybertron. A little later, Longarm asked the unsuspecting Cliffjumper to dispose of some "sensitive material". TransWarped

Trivia
- Character designer Derrick J. Wyatt personally requested this page be moved to "Cliffjumper (Animated)" versus "Little red Autobot" back when his only apperance was as an unnamed, voiceless cameo.
- It was stated in an interview with Marty Isenberg that Cliffjumper was originally supposed to be the Autobot framed for being a spy, but Hasbro ruled against the idea.[1]
