The Transformers (retroactively called Generation One or G1) started as a joint venture between two companies: Hasbro of America and Takara of Japan. After an idea to rebrand and sell Takara's Diaclone and Microchange robot toys as a whole new line with a new concept behind it, Hasbro unknowingly would wind up making what would be one of the longest running toy franchises.

Although the official catalogs and the box artwork depict Bumblebee in yellow and Cliffjumper in red, both toys were actually available in both colors. Additionally, a third toy of a simmilar design was also available in yellow, sold on Cliffjumper cards. That toy was never officially marketed by Hasbro as a separate character, but was later dubbed "Bumblejumper" or "Bumper" by fans.
