2006. I've never been a huge fan of this toy personally. Red Bumblebee =/= Cliffjumper.

I like that their transformation is the same, but would've liked a little individuality in the moulds to differentiate them. Best I've managed is popping off Bumblebee's spoiler and will now be looking for an alternate, G1'esque head for Cliffjumper... that'll be enough to satisfy me.

I can overlook having the same body/alt mode - but at very least a different head would make a world of difference. And the annoying thing was that it took HasTak a long time to figure this out - they just kept on repainting Bumblebee and calling it Cliffjumper, e.g. Movie Cliffjumper, Ti Series Cliffjumper, RH Cliffjumper, Henkei Cliffjumper... gah!! Eventually they did work it and started giving us Cliffjumpers with new heads, e.g. Animated, Alternity, Generations. But that period when we kept on getting red Bumblebees being passed off as Bumblebee was frustrating to say the least. I really love the Transformers Prime Cliffjumpers; none of them are repaints or retools of Bumblebee!

As for head swapping -- I replaced the head of my Classics Cliffjumper with Generations Cliffjumper ($25). Generations Cliffjumper looks ridiculous with Classics Cliffjumper's head, but I just keep him in vehicle mode. I pretty much just got the toy so I could do the headswap for Classics Cliffy.

I don't mind the look of Gen. Cliffjumper's head on CLA Cliffjumper's body - sure, the red is darker, but I don't think it looks bad. But the CLA Cliffjumper's head on Gen. Cliffjumper's body does look really silly. Also, it doesn't fit into the vehicle mode when you transform. So I've just put CLA Cliffjumper's head into storage and keep Gen. Cliffjumper in vehicle mode. I pretty much paid $25 to get Gen. Cliffjumper so that I could put his head onto CLA Cliffjumper's body; an arguably cheaper alternative to paying for an unlicensed kit... not that it would've been an option for me as I have a personal policy against purchasing unlicensed toy products. So for anyone looking for a "legitimate" (for lack of better word) and possibly cheaper option of a head swap, I'd recommend Gen. Cliffjumper.

Given the choice between paying $51 (incl. postage) for an unlicensed head and pair of guns vs. hopping over to TRU and paying $25 for Generations Cliffjumper where I get an entire action figure that I can swap the head (and give Gen. Cliffjumper's gun to CLA Cliffjumper) -- I'll take Gen. Cliffy.
