Shame they didn't make the guns black, but at least they're matched with his Grey.

I look forward to this set if it's inexpensive.

Hmmm, I was excited by this before, now, not so much. The "helmet" part is great, but the face is too feminine. Not that I could do any better.

It's OK, but it's really going to depend on the price. My WFC CJ head currently on my Classics was only 9 bucks, and came with a hand gun and a sweet model car

The face looks strange to me...but I still like it

hopefully will get price and availability soon

Nice !!! Too bad I missed out on Cliffjumper. Maybe Henkei will reissue him again without the annoying graphics like the new United Bumblebee. But then theyll probally create a new head mold and this guy will be screwed. Anybody know a company selling Cliffjumper at a reasonable price ???

Wow, this is awesome. I can see him now, taking the worst aim at Megatron ever with his Sniper Rifle.

Had better be affordable...

I was thrilled by this kit when I first saw it, but these close in pics have me rethinking it. The Red helmet looks awesome, and the guns are nice too, but the facesculpt is awful. The eyes are too squinty and the mouth too feminine. Maybe the eye sockets can be widened by filing out the top, and the 'full luscious lips' filed off, and a simple smirk engraved in, but that is a lot of work...

It is strange, the lineart pic of the head on the back of the box looks absolutely fine, bigger eyes and just a neat line for his mouth.

I guess if it is cheap enough I may be willing to take that job on, but otherwise I may just get a Generations Cliffjumper and paint the head to match.

I like it, but I do wish the weapons were black.

I like it. Simple and straightforward.

Though, FP takes the cake here because their set modified the robot and vehicle mode to differentiate him from being a mere redeco of Bumblebee.

It's a shame this company didn't do the same. It didn't have to be a replication of FP's work, but along those lines would've been nice.

Idunno...I wasn't a fan of FPs vehicle mods--just looked forced, IMO. Adding something somewhere just for the sake of making it look different. And their head was pretty goofy looking.

As for the grey guns, it amazes me that people are considering full-on makeovers of the head sculpt, yet no one is willing to say that they can just paint the dang guns black if they don't like the grey. :roll:

Wrong pedestal folks. Should have gone with Taurus instead of Aries. (Mess with the Bull and you'll get the horns.)

Aside from that minor nitpick which I had to make on account of I'm a Taurus, all I have to say about this set is Sign Me Up!

by **MINDVVIPE** » Mon Jan 31, 2011 1:15 am

Guns = yes
Head = no

Holy cow, Clifjumper is now the God of War! :lol:

Yea I don't like the face, although the helmet is pretty nice.

You do know a Ram or Goat's head is a satanic symbol, right?

So? Aries isn't the devil.

I like the helmet but I do not like the face at all. If it's less than 30 bucks ills probably pick it up though.

This had better be cheap-o with a captial "cheap".

I like it. I do wish the weapons were black and that they could somehow store on his back. The face seems a little pinched too, like the eyes are too close together or something. For $20-$30 this is just right. Much more than that and I'd probably pass. I might end up with this and whatever Venksta has in the works. His project sounded a little more ambitious (read:interesting).

Since I don't know the tone or intent behind this, I'm refraining from being over reactionary and going into a**-hole mode. I was only trying to have a bit of fun when I made my Zodiac reference. Something to offset the negative stuff I've been spewing about DotM lately and maybe restore a little Karmic balance. I could care less about the Satanic iconography, of which I am not at all ignorant. I prefer to think that the horn reference is more in line with his recent TF:Prime incarnation but hey, it's a relatively free planet. If someone wants to throw old CJ in with the the Satanist's, that options there. (not saying that you are in that camp JelZe, I'm just trying to not step on anyones toes and probably failing miserably).

I think people are taking this stupid thing way too far. It's a head, two guns, and comes in a box labeled Devil Horns. That is ALL there is to it.

ALL.

Satanic imagery this and that and blah blah blah, lolwhut?

No. Buy it, don't buy it, but don't make it out to be something it's not.

It's going to be an overpriced accessory set, that's all.

Haha, I dont think anyones making any big deal at all about it, they're just saying whatever.

Its just the creator's styling for his box art, I think its cool (and it is sorta satanic with the pentagram and such), but then again i'm a metalhead. It really has nothing to do with the world of transformers other than maybe the horns.. even then, CJ is way too much of a good guy to have any connection to satan, or my TF version of satan, which is Unicron.
:evil:

That face really turned me off. I just bought Cybertronian Cliffjumper and decapitated it. I have reshaped the horns to make them more 'Cliffjumpery' and will paint it to match Classics Cliffjumper when I next dig it out of storage.
