At the request of some forum members, I am posting this information in one spot so everyone that wants to upgrade their repainted Bumblebee head for a genuine custom made G1 accurate Cliffjumper head can do this.

Go From This:

To This:

First buy the head from Valkfan:
CLICK HERE TO BUY A NEW CLIFFJUMPER HEAD

IMPORTANT: Remember to KEEP the EYES from your old Cliffjumper head.

As far as paint goes:
Tamiya acrylic Bright Red (TS-49)
Tamiya Silver Leaf (TS-30)

Use a small tapping screw(unsure of the exact size) you can find them at the hobby store usually. Don't use the original screw from the old CJ head, its too big.

It's a direct replacement so just pop the old head off of the ball joint and pop the new one on.

NOW he is Cliffjumper!!

Wow, that is wonderful! :3

Hey thats pretty cool! This conversion might be in my future... :-?

Posted: **Tue Sep 04, 2007 8:19 pm**

that looks pretty cool...

Might want to start working on an upgrade for Movie Cliffjumper. If they stay with the current mold, that sucks!!

I suggest a cross between G1 Cliffjumper (kinda like you have pictured) and the stylization of Movie Bumblebee's "mask."

What do you think?

Sounds like a good idea to me.

waaaaghlord had a good idea as well when he said you could make a Tapout figure with this head.

Posted: **Tue Sep 04, 2007 9:56 pm**

Yep thats CJ alright. If I ever manage to get one, I'll probably do this

Do you have to unscrew the back of the head before you pop it off?

I can't access the pictures from your link. Are they the same with ones here?

Posted: **Wed Sep 05, 2007 6:12 am**

No, the link takes you to the guys contact info for buying it. The pic there is the unpainted version.

Posted: **Wed Sep 05, 2007 7:03 am**

Will anyone be kind enough to pose those pictures here?

Posted: **Wed Sep 05, 2007 7:08 am**

Pics posted by Valkfan on Tfans for his custom CJ head.

Alright! Thanks.

That looks like the unreleased Titanium version of Cliffjumper. The alternate CJ head sculp for the planned War Within BB, that never took off.

Do you have to remove the repro head when transforming it into car mode?

Sorry guys, but I like the original head better, the new one is a little to fat for me, but to each their own. it looks good, though.

BTW, whose gun is he holding, I can't tell.

I'm also perplexed with the gun. Is that also a custom job made for CJ?

Great idea.

I often let Classic BB use Classic Prime's gun. It fits into his hand nicely.

Mine is using Cerebros' gun. It fits well and Cerebros is to busy being a ahead anyway. ;-)

Who is Cerebros?
(Sorry for asking. I still have to get to know a lot of TF characters that i've missed during college days without tv.)

Cerebros is Fortress Maximus' head. G1.

BUMP

Since people were asking about it.

I'm not a big fan of that head. I think I like the original head a little better. Don't know why...

I've never had a problem.
