So now there are two 5th gen Transformers. This time its Bumblebee's "brother"

Cliffjumper:


and a classic look movie Prime:


and an Escalade:


There were more but these I think pose the most interest for this board.

 

Interesting.....With all the hype that Transformers is getting, there has to be more toys to come out.

 

Are those new transformers for the next movie?

 

nahh 99SilverSS,

These are not for TF2, nothing for the next movie has been even thought of yet, from what I been told. Its still to early.

Like N Vezzi said.

They are just pushing more TF out from the movie robots.
They are redoing a few of them.

Prime in his classic colors like pictured.
Ratchet in his original Ambulance white and red. That looks really nice.
Jazz in his original racing colors too.

I am sure there will be more. And the likes of the old BB and Cliffjumper they were so close its a no brainer to say why not and put cliffjumper on the BB toy

 

does cliffjumper have a different head at least? i cant tell

 

Cliffjumper makes sense. In the original cartoon he was a VW Bug, just like the Bumble Bee.

 

So is Stockade a Decepticon, since there was that Caddy during the big fight sequence when the kid dropped the Allspark.

 

No. The original Bumblebee was a VW bug and Cliffjumper was a crappily drawn (and deformed) 944 Porsche.



Same with the toys (which the animation models were of course based on). VW Bug and 944 Porsche. The reason both toys (along with hubcap, who was ANOTHER car which I can't remember) look so similar is because they were based on those old penny racer wind-up toys that used to be popular. They were "super deformed" versions of their respective cars.

 

Boxer has it right.

Here is Cliffjumper

(best picture I could find close up so fast)

Hasbro pulled alot of these transforming robots from many different lines from Takara.

These were just cute small TF to sell as small versions..

But the other thing is the cartoon head of BB and CJ are very close. So I dont think the heads going to be changed much if at all.

 

here is Cliffjumper's head

uggg..

the toy packaging pics dont so any justice..

 

They show the difference in the vehicles forms though. Look close at CJ's chest and feet. He's got the rear spoiler across his chest and rectangularish feet, proving he's not a Bug, in that particular incarnation...
I have seen a red Bumblebee that was called CliffJumper, as well as a red Bumblebee.

 

yea they kinda played around with the colors for a bit in that run back then. Red BB's and yellow CJ.
Here is a page Shows kinda what your refering too:

This is what he is actually a 924 Turbo :

and to make it more confusing, there was a 3rd one that was kinda just shipped in the BB or CJ packaging at random times. Quality control was not the best back them. It was issued in South America but not here so we just got short production of him in wrong packaging.
bumblejumper or bumper.
