Factory test shot - a pre-production sample made to make sure that the production model will be right. Could be checking the colours, could be checking the physical fit (to make sure the thing can actually transform, with parts moving past each other rather then through ), could just be checking that the mould produces the required shapes without defect.

Normally this might indicate that the toy isn't too far off (the Star Sabre toys recently shown off at SDCC were all test shots of one sort or another, and it is due out some time before the year is over), but this Cliffjumper seems to have had a history of revisions, so who knows?
