Thought I'd post my own Cliffjumper mod.
Obviously the head had to be done, but I also wanted to give him the glass gas gun he's so famous for; it's on his bio, so why doesn't the figure have one?

A little while ago, I was searching for a weapon for my Classics Goldbug (elsewhere in this very subforum), and found that Universe Treadshot's pistol (which I had originally repainted for my Fusion Blackjack) suited him very nicely, and if positioned correctly, could also stash in his back window in vehicle mode. 'Course it's actually really hard to get it in the right position for that, and even if you do, good luck getting it to stay there while you transform him.
Last week, though, I noticed that the gun would actually slot nicely between his arms in vehicle mode, with the handle fitting in that space between the feet, and the peg that holds the knees together.

So I gave that gun to Goldbug, and decided to use the other one (Armada Sideswipe's) for Cliffjumper. But to make it different to GB's as well as to hint at the gas part, I figured it'd need a gas cylinder. A Space Marine melta-bomb, I thought, would be perfect. But could I find one? Could I heck as like!
So I wound up pinning a section from a Necron gauss flayer to the bottom instead. Still works...

See that gap between the arms? That's where the gun goes.

And here it is, snugly nestled in place.

I think thats the Cliffjumper head mod I've liked the best so far. If only he was frowning. The guns are sweet as well. Much better storage spot. So are you leaving the weird "classic" silver paint all over the body of the car?

Thanks, guys.

Jim: I considered modding the face, but then I considered the fact that, well... he [/i]likes[/i] fighting, and is generally pretty cheerful about it. If anything, I wish I could think of how to make it into more of a malicious grin. :wink:
As for the silver... yeah, I think I'm gonna leave it. If I painted all that stuff black, a lot of it'd probably just rub off again, especially at the shoulders and fists. I'm almost tempted, actually, to get another Bumblebee and swap the parts, but I have enough to spend my lack of money on already at the mo. And then I'd just have to find something to do with the new yellow and grey Bumblebee, and... it's a never-ending spiral of confusion. :P

Oh yea, that silver... Not what I meant, but a good idea on the part swapping. I meant the paint job on the car mode. Consider stripping it off and leaving it a red car mode as opposed to red with silver all over the place?

most certainly. Cybertron Swindle. He's got the perfect roll cage, his chest and thighs can be a completely different color than his alt mode without showing, he's got big rear wheels and tiny front wheels.

Ah, right, with you. No, I'm leaving that. I'm not sure what it is, but I actually quite like the silver apps.

Ratbat: Do Searchlight now! TBH, out of all the Throttlebots (barring Goldbug), I think he's the one that'd most suit the Bumblebee mould. Chase and Freeway should be sleeker (they're a Ferrari and a Corvette, even if their G1 versions were sort of SD).

Actually Ramrider, what you could do with the "extra" Bumbleee with silver limbs is make Glyph from it. Glyph had silver/grey limbs. All it would require then is a minor face sculpt to make it more feminine and a blue paint job.

I wouldn't mind if someone used the mold to make all the Throttlebots, but they look so much like other guys. I had no idea Glyph was pretty much Freeway. I wonder if that was intentional, or just... not much color variety. Still... Glyph deserves the Classics Bumblebee car mold and toy-Bumblebee head, while Freeway needs to not look like Glyph in car mode.

also, when is someone going to mod Classics Bumblebee with a longer alt mode for use as the Battlechargers?

Well, technically, she's a blue Bumblebee with grey linbs. The original Glyph figure (a convention exlusive) was a metallic blue repaint of G1 Bumblebee with grey limbs and windows. If someone were to do both Freeway and Glyph using the same mold, the best way to differentiate them in car mode is by using tow different hues of blue. For Glyph, a darker Metallic blue similar to that used on the G1 Thundercracker model. For Freeway, use a brighter sky blue.

Hmm... that's certainly worth keeping in mind. Although I haven't seen any more Bumblebees for a few weeks now, and besides, like I said, my funds aren't likely to stretch to another anyway for a little while yet.
