Toy Review - Generations Cliffjumper

[Hursticon]

Whilst I like the colour and new head sculpt, unfortunately Cliffjumper suffers from the same issues as WFC Bumblebee.

The red colour is such a rich and beautiful hue, it'll be interesting to see where it turns up next and it is contrasted very well with the Yellow highlights and pin striping.
The gun though comes across as just too small for old Cliffy and due to the odd engineering of the wrist and arm, he's forced to wield it in a somewhat 'Gangsta' or 'Blat-Blat' type manner which is just a little frustrating.

If he is cheap, you love the character or are just a completist of sorts - then I recommend this figure, if you aren't then you're not really missing out on anything here.

So I got this toy today - at a discounted price cos the packaging was severely damaged (someone clearly tried to steal this toy but didn't go through with it) -- so I haggled TRU to take $5 off their original asking price.

Anyway, the first thing I did after opening it was to swap the head with Classics Cliffjumpers and zOh My Freakin' God what a MASSIVE improvement to Classics Cliffjumper!!



Generations Cliffjumper looks awful with Classics Cliffjumper's head -- but of course, that head never suited Cliffjumper to begin with. The red is deeper than that of CLA Cliffjumper, but I don't mind it. The head is smaller, but I think that works in favour of Cliffjumper because it makes his body look comparatively bigger and more "buff" than it did with the original head. Being a smaller head means that Classics Cliffjumper can still easily transform with it, however the larger Classics head on Generations Cliffjumper means that he can't transform into Cybertronian vehicle mode with CLA Cliffjumper's head on - so I have to remove it when transforming him. Generations Cliffjumper's pistol fits into Classics Cliffjumper's fist holes perfectly.

I'm personally delighted with my modified Classics Cliffjumper now - for the first time ever this toy actually feels like Cliffjumper to me and not just a red Bumblebee!
