Appearing on iGear's Facebook page today is a prototype grey sample of their rendition of Cliffjumper, PP-04. Not much is known about this figure currently although he can be seen with a large assortment of accessories. iGear has proven that they are not shy about arming their robots. Also included in this picture are a couple of heads, including the unmistakeable Bumblebee. Check out the image below or head over to iGear's website by clicking here.

I hope they sell the heads separately, they come in black and white, and they're deluxe scale... :twisted:

the way the feet Transforms I reminds me of his Spotlight comic.

I really have to resist the urge to buy this. It looks so awesome, but there are MPs of characters I like much more than Cliffjumper ...

Maybe if they still have him after I buy all the other stuff I really want ... and if he's in deluxe size ...

Holy cow.

I'm actually interested.

I would consider buying that, that's no joke. Wow.

The transform seems to follow the Alternity design, so my guess is it will be that size.

That would be OK for me, I'd buy him.

I'm really hoping someone will eventually do all the minibots in Scout scale, and with the ever shrinking size of deluxes that may happen sooner rather than later :lol:

So, not a Mini (where they really excelled recently) and it looks like Cliff steeped into a couple of Kleenex boxes.......

With the squeeze on just how much 3P it's going to be possible to buy this year this one's a pass.

Size-wise, if this fits in with the Classics line, I am buying it. I don't have a Cliffjumper. It's not a 'Bee repaint! Hopefully it won't be too expensive.

Looking at it, his Bazooka with sniper stand is one of the few redeeming qualities of this guy in my opinion.

haha, yeah. Like with Ratchet and Ironhide, the weapons look good on this. Sadly, unlike those 2, I'm not feeling the Cliffy love. Give me MiniWarriors Cliff!

Looks like an alternator, and while I was quite the fan, I thought we've kinda grown since then...especially when they're not having to accommodate for a detailed, model-like car interior. Currently on the fence and leaning toward falling off. It'll have to be one of the impressively priced iGear products to bite, I think.

I'm intrigued, but not as deeply as I was with Ironhide or Ratchet. I'm pretty happy with classics (+ Bezzelboss set). I was more pumped about Cosmos, since he's been so underserved. I'd like see a review to really know.

Still... I'm loving how the line's "thing" appears to be tricking them out with so much stuff each figure could use their own box.

Although I like this design... I'm just not happy with iGear right now. I've had my Ratchet and Ironhide payed for exactly 6 months(july 27th '11). About the same as the weapons upgrade for Perceptor and Kup. Plus, where is my Golden Bee? They keep pumping out protos and seekers and not the merch people have invested in. I think I might be done with iGear. Send me my items that have been payed for, and then we can talk new stuff.

Whoa! Is that second head for Runabout/Runamuck????? If it was then I would have to go with this over the TFCC ones.

I don't like it.

The spoiler looks out of place and the feet are way too clunky.

So where are Ironhide and Ratchet, i want those more than anything right now.....apart from Neckbreaker and Madblender that is.

Those feet are huge. The arms are too short but at least he won't fall down in a strong wind.


























Did I mention that he has big feet?

I like it, but I won't buy it. Classics Cliffjumper with just about any upgrade kit currently available is perfectly ok with me, I want the Volkswagon Bumblebee that was originally supposed to be PP04 first version, with the retooled Cliffjumper as the second, looks like we're gonna get Runabout and Runamuck too, but I already am getting the TFCC versions, so not really a big deal for me, Gimme my fully paid for Ratchet and Ironhide, skip doing a KO MP Grimlock, and do all the other Dinobots, that's my oppinion

Hmm.... Ermm.... Eeee.... Aaaaa.... No! I'm just not seeing the need for what I think is quite an ugly figure. The legs, arms and head seem far to small in comparison with the feet and chest. That Kleenex box comment of Motorthing's was accurate and :lol:

Tenatatively interested, dependant on overall scale and how the alt-mode looks.

Hey iGear, while you're at upsizing mini-bots I'll take a Voyager class-sized Huffer, kthnx!

I like this. I love the accessories that iGear has been including with their figures. Against the popular opinion, though, I hope this doesn't scale with the classics stuff. I want him to scale with MP-10 & MP-Grimlock.

Don't know. Looking at the pics here makes him unappealing to me, the renders looked better. Maybe the final colours will make him look better?

Damn. At first I thought this was the next miniwarrior. Pass.

Though he has Dreamwave Bumblebee's tire folded under the feet thing going on. Still, I have Classics with FPs Cliff set and Alternity. Hell, I'd be on the fence about a miniwarriors one!

Thumbs up on the weapons. Thumbs down on another Classics style Cliffjumper. Don't want or need it.

Pssst... CliffJumper. Take off those ridiculous shoes on your feet. They look like boats.
