Cliffjumper is an Autobot from the Transformers: Prime continuity family.

Cliffjumper will take you down to the corner of Know Your Role Boulevard and Jabroni Drive and check you directly into the Smackdown Hotel!

Cliffjumper isn't your run-of-the-mill Autobot freedom fighter: armed with six-cylinder ion cannons, a quantum sensitive multiphase targeting system that would make Megatron jealous, and of course, the old school technique of pummeling Decepticons with his fists, Cliffjumper prefers to liven up the day with firefights while retrieving enemy intelligence.

Fiction

Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron

Cliffjumper concurred with Ironhide that while Sentinel Prime was not an Autobot, he deserved to be rescued. He and Ultra Magnus's Wreckers later escorted Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Jetfire to the Well of All Sparks when they made their journey to purge Cybertron's core of Dark Energon.

Cliffjumper is only mentioned twice, and it is not even said if he boarded the Ark or stayed with the Wreckers.

Prime comics

Regardless, when the Decepticons returned to their dead homeworld, Cliffjumper went in all guns blazing to investigate. The Eradicons piled onto him, grappling him until he was unconscious. He awoke to find himself in their base, which Cliffjumper commented looked like the sort of lair Starscream would design. An Eradicon said Cliffjumper would live until he was no longer useful, and asked him to decode an offworld Autobot signal. It came from none other than Optimus himself, ordering his forces to gather on a planet called Earth. Awed, Cliffjumper then turned to his interrogator and said all the decoded message simply said "Megatron smells like Unicron's armpit", making the infuriated Decepticons ordered Cliffjumper's demise, before Arcee burst in, slaughtering the Decepticons.

Cliffjumper tried to greet his old colleague, but she told him to be quiet, coldy informing him she had not come to rescue him, but to tap into the Decepticons' communications. Finding the coordinates of the enemy's weapons lab in Kaon, she was prepared to go by herself until Cliffjumper convinced her that Kaon was too dangerous for her stealthy ways, and that she needed his brawn to back her brain. Entering the city through its maintenance tunnels, Arcee opened a secret passage. Travelling up an ancient staircase, Cliffjumper's suspicions were confirmed when he saw Starscream overseeing the reactivation of a space bridge. Arcee wanted to destroy the device, but Cliffjumper saw it as their ticket to Earth. He distracted Starscream by going straight to him and his Eradicons, claiming he wanted to join them. Arcee activated the device, and when Starscream noticed, Cliffjumper jumped his pretense and started a fight, and jumped with Arcee into the space bridge.

Falling, Cliffjumper momentarily wondered if he was one with the AllSpark, but Arcee confirmed they had fallen onto Earth. Finding a ghost town, they scanned their alternate modes: Cliffjumper passed on a passing travel trailer—which he found too ugly—and a truck—which was too bulky—before selecting a muscle car, which Arcee found suitably noisy. He added horns on the hood of his new alternate mode as a finishing touch. Driving to find Optimus, Starscream—who had also jumped into the space bridge—attacked the duo, blasting off Arcee's arm. Cliffjumper fought Starscream and buried him under a pile of rocks, when Breakdown appeared. It seemed like the end, but Optimus and Bumblebee came and fought off the two Decepticons, before opening a ground bridge to their base, sending Arcee for repairs. Optimus told Cliffjumper his journey was over, but a new battle was just beginning. Transformers: Prime (comic)

Transformers: War for Cybertron (DS)

Voice actor: Steve Blum (English)

Following the unleashing of Omega Supreme, Cliffjumper spotted a party of Decepticons preparing to assault the giant. He attempted to slow their advance with force fields and gun turrets, and when that didn't work, led them on a high-speed chase while trying to shoot them. They eventually caught up with him when he crashed into a wall and, though his spirit was still defiant, he was unable to stop them passing him. Of course, they immediately ran into Jetfire...

Take a good hard look at this photo, you won't see a lot like this. Why? Because there's gonna be a lot of head swaps with Classics Cliffjumper

Part of the fifth wave of Generations Deluxe class toys, Cliffjumper is a retool/redeco of Cybertronian Bumblebee with a new head, transforming into a round "Cybertronian courier mode." His toy comes with a handgun and features two wrist-mounted flip-out blades. The handgun can be stored inside his rear bumper in either robot or vehicle mode.

The instructions for Bumblebee actually depicted him with Cliffjumper's new head mold, thus revealing the retool before it was officially announced.
