ML Cliff features significantly improved articulation (which isn't hard considering that the original toy only has 2 points of meaningful articulation).
This includes head swivel, double shoulder joints, elbows, wrists, double waist joints, knees, feet and ankle tilts.

Both ML Bumble and Cliff have rub stickers beneath their right soles.
Comparison with original G1, robot.

The shoulders can be shifted down to mid-chest height as shown here to make it more G1-accurate. ML Cliff features a larger head. ML Cliff's horns look pointier and his face sculpt looks sterner; all making him look more serious and less "cute," which is the complete opposite of how ML Bumble's head/face has been sculpted. The chest/rear window is also larger.
Comparison with G1, vehicle.

ML Bumble has clips that secure the arms and feet together firmly, whereas G1 just relies on friction.

OVERALL: I like how Missing Link Cliff gives us the look and feel of the original toy while also giving us something new. Highly recommended.
