No rifle for Cliffjumper?

that head looks so wrong on that cliff jumper body

Been saying this since the start: Dat Springer!

Seriously, the clearer the images we get, the more I want to get him.
Only one I need to have, the rest are considerably lower on the wantability scale.

Don't get me wrong, like that Wheelie's amazing, but I've already got a reasonably scaled Legends Wheelie, Swerve looks alright, but I don't care about the character... MY Neo-G1 shelf's already got a Cliff, too... which is good since this new one is atrocious, and having (most of) the Prime FE Cliffjumper mold rereleased in this fashion is a slap in the face to fans around the world who missed out on the FE stuff

Robotkingdom had them up briefly before Hasbro told them they couldn't sell preorders yet.

At least they have new heads, and some new weapons (Springer's sword and Wheelie's slingshot)

It used to be that people would be "fine with a re-paint if it just had a new head" or the "right weapons"

At least we are getting these in the first place, sort of.

That said, I would pick up Wheelie and maybe Springer, but Cliffy looks too mish-mashed and Swerve is OK, but only at regular retail, not imported.

These will make it to the US at some point, I have to guess.

I dont see a slingshot, all i see is a boring blue repaint of jazz photon convertable blaster as if he outgrew his slingshot.

I'm interested in all three excluding Cliffjumper. Unfortunately it just doesnt work for me.

Also can anyone confirm that wheelie will be short packed one per case? For those who are keen on the little guy I would get those preorders in as soon as they go up.

I want to see better shots of Springerms head. He's the only one I'd get, as I dot have one, but I love the Tomahawk mold (which I haven't been able to get ahold of yet)

Dat Springer.

Hahaha, poor Swerve. Has he ever NOT been a repaint? :lol:

I really like the Springer colors on that Tomahawk mold. I'll pick him up for sure, but those feet! Those FEET!

Wheelie's looking alright too. It's kinda weird to have a Wheelie that big, though. Seems like he should only be a Scout/Cyberverse size. Oh well - I'll still buy him.

Why, Asia? Why?

Can anybody point me in the direction to buying these?

For the prices we pay for TFs these days, it's about time we got some recognition. :lol:

We're paying $23 for deluxes now! $43 for voyagers.

I only want Wheelie to put with my G2 figures like if he finally grew up. Cliffjumper makes no sense. The Kup body just isnt swerve. They should have gone with Orion Pax. And who needs another non triple changer Springer. I got Defender so Im good.

All repaints?

I'd get Cliffjumper if it weren't for that fugly looking head.

News Credits: 387 · by **Bounti76** » Sun Jul 08, 2012 1:45 am

Of these, only Swerve and Springer appeal to me, and Springer not that much.

Actually, he has. Well....a character named Swerve HAS had a unique mold..

He's holding the slingshot like a blaster. It's definitely Y-shaped.

The only one I find super interesting is Wherlie, though I'll likely be replacing the head and making him a new character instead of using him as Wheelie (I love the United Jazz mold.) The rest are maybes depending on price.

His pose in the packing shows otherwise, well see when proper pictures are released.

Since all of these are G1 season 3 characters then...... maybe Galvatron is possible, perhaps he'd be great as a repaint of Generations Perceptor with a few remolded details and a Galvatron head, and the backpack issue propably fixed.

See that turquoise thing he's holding? That's a slingshot.

Finally. A chance to own the 1st edition Cliftjumper mold. I'm happy.

Cliffjumper is Season 1, and survived the movie, but then went MIA.

gonna see what the prices are like. I do quite like that Wheelie, with his head and slingshot, and the Jazz toy is fantastic to start with. Not sure on Swerve, his robot mode is fine, but I'm not keen on the vehicle colours. Probably get Cliff if I get any of them, because I only want a Prime CJ for a head swap anyway, might as well get the better mold and the better head. Springer is the most difficult to say one way or the other. I like the colours, and that he comes with a sword, but I still can't really see the head that clearly, and he has those feet.

@ Autobot-Hellstriker. It's a slingshot / blaster.

I know that but since most of them including swerve and springer are season three i just thought a galvatron might be in the works after his last disastrous toy in the universe series.

His slingshot always shoot burning projectiles, a blaster shoots laser from a energy cartridge. Maybe hasbro migh decide to give him the blaster to cut down price cost, give him only the slingshot to keep his characteristics or maybe we get both.
