Since we are getting another repaint of the Classics Bumblebee for Reveal the Shield, what do you think the chances are of us getting another Cliffjumper for this line as well?

Considering the current policy for getting the most out of molds I would say this is likely, however as we already have Cliff, I'd rather see Bumper, Glyph, Tap-out or cough Bug-Bite cough Wasp cough get the nod instead...

I'd love to see a Generations or Reveal the Shield update to Classics Cliffjumper with a new, G1 accurate head sculpt, but I'm a bit worried that the "Cybertronian" Cliffjumper we have already in the Generations line will be it for now. Why? Because Generations Cliffjumper doesn't have the "Cybertronian" prefix in his official toy title. In fact, his bio doesn't make any attempt to place his toy within the War for Cybertron timeline at all. Furthermore, each of the "Cybertronian" figures has faction specific colored highlights, pink-ish red for Autobots and light purple for Decepticons, EXCEPT for Cliffjumper, who has yellow highlights. Cliffjumper was in the DS version of War for Cybertron, if not the console versions, so it can't be that he didn't yet exist during "War for Cybertron" that he's been omitted from that sub-branding. Also, Optimus Prime still got pink highlights on his red sections, so why shy away from doing the same for Cliffjumper?

I hope we get another Cliffjumper from the Classics Bumblebee mould, preferably with a new head, a gun or two replacing the trailer, and maybe even some vehicle mode retooling.

I thought about this yesterday whilst purchasing Generations Cliffjumper. I- in one of my many TF hiatuses- skipped the Classics line. Now I regret it and I am in no mood to pay $40.00 minimum for a used Cliffjumper. I think if an RtS were to happen it will appear in the last wave before DotM since we have a Cliffjumper right now. I really want one though. It would be easy for Hasbro to do anyway since they're already redoing Bumblebee. Although with the Animated homages coming in, we could see Wasp possibly.

I like this version of Bumblebee better than the other one, myself. I would personally like to see Bumper, or a classics version of Huffer. I have the ppc version, but I'm not really impressed. I would like to see a more G1 accurate version. He was one of my personal favorites.....

I <3 ur little gray box ideas very very very much....

It's a great mold, they can re-do all the versions, BB, CJ, B, G, TO, W, BB and I will buy them, if not for my shelf then for the kids.

I doubt it. The paint job for RTS BB is a psuedo homage to movie BB. I hate the black stripe.

However if they did a RTS CJ then I hope they subdue that weird deco they gave him and make it more solid red, or a deeper red like the Generations version.
