I'm working my way through painting the whole cast of TFP and Bulkhead is nearing completion so it's time to plan the next project: Cliffjumper. I've already decided against doing zombie Cliff but my two remaining options are:

- pre-battle Cliffjumper as seen at the beginning of the first episode. Lots of shiny paint with a few scuff marks,

or

- Cliffjumper in his final moments before Starscream rips out his spark. Lots of paint damage.

Let me know which version you would like to see cos I'm having a tough time deciding!

Moments before death Cliffy, please. Thank you.

How bout all three?

You could also get a fourth and make Tailgate.

2nd option. You are better on that I believe.

I'm not a fan of battle damage so I'd go with the first one.

I only have ONE FE CJ! I'm only doing one version so you voting for all of them doesn't really count! Do you have a preference DM?

Some would say that because of that I should do the undamaged one and get some practice!

I can see why you're posting this question, seeing as you only have one CJ.

As a spectator, I'd like to see a battle-damaged CJ. But if I were in your situation, I'd personally go for the clean, glossy custom. If I only had one copy of a good TF, I'd prefer to preserve it in a more pristine form.

How about a third option? Use the more easily available PRID CJ for the battle damaged version? All that ugly faux kibble on him would be masked by all the battle damage and weathering.

The answer is: because I don't like that mold and don't want to buy it! FE is superior so I see little point in getting the other. Also, my display would look a little odd with two CJs... I don't like having figures that don't fit in anywhere properly.

Oh. In that case, I say go for the clean look.
