A qiuck question about G1 Bumblejumper.
i have found a ok one one TFW but the wheel rivits are rusted, just wondering if any other Mini bot had the same arms?
My thinking is that i could take Bumblejumper apart and swap his arem for Cliffjumper's or Bumblebee's that way he mint.

Can anyone confirm that the all have the same size wheels and arms?

I belive its cliffjumper - I'm looking for a cj for new wheels for one of mine!

So you can swap Bumblejumpers and Cliffjumpers wheels with each others?

Yep the wheels/arm piece.

Yep the wheels/arm piece.

YAY ok now im going to buy Bumblejumper! and fix him up
Thanks for that Skullcruncher!

Yep the wheels/arm piece.

To clarify, you can't swap CJ & BB's arms, although the wheels/tyres are fine.

Cliffjumper & Hubcap share the same arms, but Bumblejumper's arms will only work with Bumblejumper. Bumblebee's arms will work only with him.

(I'm ignoring the later repaints like Bug Bite for simplicity's sake)

I think he is wanting someone to weigh theirs so he can compare to the one he has. I'd do it if I had one

Yes.

Are you 100%? I remember swapping mine out and there was no difference, hes now in storage but im looking for CJ for Bumble #2 whos is on my desk and his tires are ratty.

I find the keychain reissues were a good and fairly cheap source for spare tyres for Bumblebee and Cliffjumper.

I remember a topic about using a US forwarding service but searching doesnt come up with the info i need. someone posted about a really cheap one.

Can the forwarding service be used with registering for the TFCC?

Yes, 100%. The swap will work in robot mode, but since the three are different cars (Cliffjumper is a Porsche 944, Bumblebee a VW Beetle and Bumblejumper a Mazda 323), the arms are slightly different shapes, as the vehicles are of different shapes. While Hubcap has some retooling in vehicle mode, it affects the rear bumper & spoiler, not the running boards (arms).
