Toy Review - TFPrime Deluxe Cliffjumper v2

[reillyd]

This is one of the few Transformers I've found that are easier to transform by hand, just experimenting, than to read the instruction manual. There's some non-intuitive steps (eg. his little hands), but it was quite a fun little transform. I think I prefer him in car mode, and he runs completely straight. I hate it when the wheels are out of alignment, and it runs to the left or right.

Not too impressed with his battle mace, I like it as a gun though.

Its my first (non first edition) purchase in the deluxe class, and will definitely buy more.

Thanks for the comparison pics, Tets! FE Cliffjumper certainly does look like the better of that pair. Overall it seems that HasTak have put more effort/care into FE than RiD.

You're welcome!

I was inspired by this figure to create a character for the prime universe :Knockoff

I actually prefer the proportions of the V2 Cliffjumper... The FE seems a bit too boxy for my liking, although I am disappointed his hands don't turn into guns as it seems that is a feature of all the Transformers on Prime.

The cartoon, yes, the toys no. I was a little annoyed that Wheeljack's card picture has him guns out, but no guns on the toy...

The guns will appear on the third version

Just opened my PRIDE Cliffjumper and well, what a surprise. I actually think this is a better representation of the show character compared to my Takara FE Cliffjumper. Even with all of its shortcomings it still looks more like the Cliffjumper I saw on the show to me, and that's more important to me than say, how his arms look or whether his chest is fake or not.

I love how animated he looks, the fierce expression that instantly takes you back to that first episode, the chunky legs and hoofed feet, the awesome detail and sheer originality of the chest design and the hip swivel to get him in a range of great poses. He just looks so alive to me, and I'm so glad to have a toy of CJ where he's obviously in butt kicking mode. That's how we saw him and that's how I'll remember him!

This guy with two silver Micron cannons would be the ducks nuts!
