Transformers Cliffjumper Figure

Palisades Toys has announced plans to release a new Transformers statue in conjunction with NonStopToys' upcoming Bumblebee exclusive. Cliffjumper, a Bumblee repaint, will be strictly limited to 250 pieces worldwide, and will only be available at www.PalisadesDirectStore.com.

Cliffjumper is one of the fastest Autobots in automobile mode. His speed is particularly effective when drawing fire away from his compatriots, a job that he relishes, and which seldom leads to him being harmed. In terms of enthusiasm and daring, he has no equal among the Autobots, and he is known for his "Let me at 'em!" attitude. Among Cliffjumper's arsenal are projectiles filled with what he calls "glass gas." On impact, this gas disrupts the microscopic crystalline structure of most metals, temporarily making the metal as brittle as common glass. Of course, sometimes his over eagerness can get him in to trouble Cliffjumper has been known to suffer blow-out from accelerating too quickly, and has even fallen victim to his own "glass gas."

Cliffjumper will be available this holiday season exclusively from Palisades Direct, and will retail for $54.99 apiece.

Very nice...but...as similar as Cliffjumper was to Bumblebee in robot form, he DID have a different face.

A repaint of Bumblebee huh? That's disappointing. Cliffjumper was a different kind of car (not a VW bug) with a tail fin, and, like ultrazilla says, with a different face.

It's nice to see the old school G1 coming back but I think this generation of fans has become too critical and won't allow for much deviation.

I hope the upcoming movie will stay true to the cars and animated cartoon robot forms of the G1 line. I suspect they won't though... too many people in the industry that think "wouldn't it be cool if...?" Heck, now that I am starting to work in the industry, I'm starting to think like that too. Dang!
