![]() Since his very first appearance Cliffjumper has always been a character that's up for a fight, and the arsenal this figure comes with certainly reflects that. The one thing you could perhaps gripe about on this figure is the size given the price point, but Cliffjumper packs a lot of detail in for such a small figure and the size also means he scales well with the rest of the War for Cybertron and Studio Series 86 figures. The Studio Series version also adds an Autobot insignia to the chest, which fans will notice is the cartoon variant of the design rather than the movie version seen on the Earthrise figure. ![]() While the base mould might not have changed at all these new colours make Cliffjumper feel like an all new bot - bringing out the cartoon-inspired elements of the design far more than the Earthrise version did. While some might not be quite as keen on the opaque windows, given the fragility of translucent plastic (especially on transforming toys like these) getting a far sturdier toy seems like a pretty fair trade off. Open it up and you'll see some of the early steps Hasbro are making to reduce plastic use in their packaging, with Cliffjumper and his accessories attached to a backing card rather than a moulded plastic tray.Ä«uzzworthy Bumblebee Studio Series 86 Cliffjumper (a bit of a mouthful, isn't it?) is a repaint of the War for Cybertron: Earthrise deluxe class Cliffjumper figure, giving it a more G1 cartoon-inspired deco with lighter shade of red, grey limbs and painted opaque windows rather than translucent plastic. One spine features some new Studio Series-style artwork of Cliffjumper, while the back has the usual layout of figure images (in both modes), transformation steps graphics, short bio and a strapline placing Cliffjumper at a certain point in the film (in this case "Moonbase One Destruction"). Choice of images aside, the packaging is styled very similar to the Studio Series 86 line and this is far more reflective in other areas of the box. ![]() The yellow and black colour scheme of the box obviously makes sense, but the decision to use a render of Cyberverse Bumblebee on the box (instead of a G1 or even movie-styled one) alongside images of Arcee, Mirage and Optimus Prime (none of whom have toys in the range) is a bit more strange. Despite being a subline that is presumably celebrates all things Bumblebee, the packaging of the Buzzworthy Bumblebee range is a bit of a curious case.
