cool. now Cliffjumper gets to have his own Glass Gas gun. too bad about the limited quantities though, it would be rockin' to see this produced on the same quantities as the Justitoys add-ons.

:MAX:

When this gets on ebay, I'll pick onw up. I'm sick of the Bumblebee head on Cliffjumper. This will be better, plus both he & Bumblebee can have a weapon.

Re: Custom Add on Kit for Classics Cliffjumper (484912)
Posted by Down_Shift on December 1st, 2007 @ 5:22pm CST

I would love to get my hands on that. Really, I'm honestly considering it... but at the same time, I'd rather put money in the pocket of one of our talented Kitbashers who I know for a fact could make something even better.

Re: Custom Add on Kit for Classics Cliffjumper (484923)
Posted by Collector Maximus on December 1st, 2007 @ 5:27pm CST

Damn, I do actually like this. They went above just giving him a new head, which is the least Hasbro could have done. I don't care so much for the new labels or front pieces, but the new Spoiler does make him look more Cliffjumpery. Too bad I never bought a red Bumblebee...
Anyway, how can you order it?
Will it just be through the auction site?
Will they have english instructions set up to order?
Anyone know?

Posted by Riotflea on December 1st, 2007 @ 6:59pm CST

I love all the ricer junk, and the weapons are incredibly fun looking.

And I ask you... are not his knees in robot mode 900 times better now with that split engine block?

... ...wait... $145? WHAT?

Re: Custom Add on Kit for Classics Cliffjumper (485105)

To limited for my wallet(I'm guessing).

If this was more of a mass release, I'd scoop it up real quick(oh and a Classics CliffJumper, the only one I skipped)!

For those who want to see, here is the custom Cliffjumper comic that comes with the accessory pack.

http://home.comcast.net/~mathewignash/i ... -comic.jpg

The dialog leaves something to be desired:

Bumblebee: "Hey! Cliff! The bothering fly is chasing after us!"
Cliffjumper: "Maybe we have stinky smell on tires? Huh!"
Bumblebee "Ha! Ha!"

Here is a detail on the head:

Very nice add-on kit, indeed.

That 145 price was in RMB (Chinese Yuan), which is around US$20 in equivalence. However the Taobao post did mention US$30 price to be listed on eBay auction. To me still a bit overpriced.

Cheers,
Coolpop

didnt you guys see the 30 us dollars?
looks pretty cool. don't like the door though.
tbut i wouldnt get it cause I hate Cliffjumper as a character and didnt buy his toy.

Re: Custom Add on Kit for Classics Cliffjumper (485252)
Posted by Jazzz on December 1st, 2007 @ 9:05pm CST

so Cliffjumper jumps over a cliff. PUN-age.
and bumblebee didnt use that jetpack he came with.

Head & Weapons: Clearly an improvement - I dare anyone to disagree.

Revised Bodywork: I can see how people wouldn't like them - too many modern Transformers have been ruined because Hasbro couldn't release something that didn't look like a ricer. Still, it gives him a distinct look from the Bee, while keeping the two looking like cousins of sorts.

Limited Run & Price: I don't know. I'll really have to think about it... luckily, it looks like the actual price will level off at about $50, once you consider shipping.

These kits have been popping up on Ebay for a while now. There's a 2 page thread about this kit around here somewhere(search function is broken?).

If you want a real cheap option, you can always buy the same head I bought from Valkfan for a meager $10:

Actually, the face is too long and the horns too stubby.

But, look at Barricade and BB from the movie. Sweet muscley goodness. :grin:

I think it looks really good. If I can find a website that actually lets me preorder one I would gladly spend the $30 on it.

the spoiler, weapons, and head are ok. but that bumper is just too horrendous!

I like it. But I'm not sure how to get it. (Yeah, I know, it's on the Taobao site, but I can't get around it.)

Posted by doomseer on December 2nd, 2007 @ 2:01am CST

I won't be able to get it in the uk anyway but I'm nbot sure I'm bothered! The gun that comes with the PATHETIC classic optimus ( the 2 pack version ) fits cliffjumpers hand and he holds it on my display very well indeed.
I think the original head is better and the bumper additions are not very much of an improvement in my opinion.
Those who passed up Cliffjumper missed a damn good figure in my opinion. I prefer this mold as cliff rather than bumblebee anyway.

I like it. The front bumper is where the Ricer Crap shows. Yes the bumper is ugly, though I think the rest is OK.

This popped up a while back and he wanted Waaaaay too much for it.

I bought a cast CJ head from Valkfan and it is great.

No spoilers or junk, but I didn't like those anyway, and I've got spare guns.

I think a hybrid between the Cliffjumper toy, Valk's head and the rest of this accessory kit is the way to go for me.

The new head seems a little bit off.

Drop Valkfan a PM over at TFans. I Don't think he has an account here.

Sweet. Custom Street mod kits for our TF toys. Does it really get any cooler than this?

P.S.- I seem to remember Wheeljack using a similar cannon in Heavy Metal War... Cliffjumper's cannon in MTMTE wasn't Arm-Mounted, I don't think... Oh well. This is still a sweet kit. Makes me wish I had a classics Cliffjumper to buy one for.

For those of you interested, I've got a CJ with a Valkfan custom head posted on ebay - just search for "Custom Classics Cliffjumper".
