This vehicle mode much more closely suits the original Cliffjumper's vehicle mode than Bumblebee, for which this toy mold is also used. But this is only a minor concern really.My main issues with this toy, and this is true of the Bumblebee version too, is that instead of a gun, this toys includes a cheaply made waverunner toy, which is has significantly inferior construction than the main toy.
This is a pretty good toy and if you are a transformers collector this is an absolute must. When posing the robot the kneepads can become stuck into the edges of the kneejoint and prevent you from bending the leg.All in all though, this toy is very well made with high quality plastics.
The waverunner turns into a kind of jetpack that snaps onto the robots back.My second issue, is that the seats of the car form a kind of kneepad when in robot mode. The figure is very poseable for the most part and the quality cnstruction keeps it in whatever pose you can form it into.
This toy in a great new rendition of Transformers Cliffjumper. The coloring is pretty good, better than the colors and decoration used on Bumblebee, the only one flaw in its presentation that I can pick out is that the head of this toy has Bumblbee's horns, which Cliffjumper shouldn't have.
The transformation while a bit tricky at first is pretty easy to learn.
It's too bad Hasbro didn't alter the head a bit to match Cliffjumper's cartoon head, but it's not a big deal. Otherwise, highly recommended.Regarding safety, for the little ones, you might want to take the included Jet-Ski away so it doesn't end up in their mouth :-) This is the same mold as Bumblebee, just repainted into G1 loudmouth and tough guy, Cliffjumper. No matter what color they paint this mold, it's still a great design and true to the spirit of G1.If you already own Classics Bumblebee, and are not a completist or head over heels in love with the mold, then you might want to pass on this one.
