Has anyone done a Re-paint from HFTD BB Bumblebee into Cliffjumper? I keep seeing a few sitting in Walmart and I want to do one, but would like to see one if anyones done one yet?

I'd guess pretty much like this:

I was always surprised they didn't milk the whole Cliffy repaint thing for the movie-verse, you'd have thought it would be obvious?

So for every Bumblebee a Cliffjumper? I may love Cliffjumper, but that's too much

Cliffjumper is much cooler than Bumblebee. Does anyone honestly like Bumblebee? Why Cliffjumper should be relegated to a repaint is a big part of why I don't believe in reality.

Wasn't there a Leader Class Cliffjumper repaint of Bumblebee? I thought I saw one on the boards a while back.....

Nope. There was however a Cliffjumper custom made, including packaging. The packaging was cylindrical with the figure in Robot Mode.

I have to agree with that. No need to overflow the aisles with Cliffjumpers along the shelf warming BB's.

Until Cliffjumper appears in a movie, I really see no need for a bunch of movie Bumblebee repaints. I understand why Hasbro has done one or two...cuz that's just what they do, but what's the point...really? One of the things I'm most happy about is never caving in and buying the stupid movie seeker repaints...and I probably would've at one point had the price been "right" (right in quotes because there really is no right price...free is highly debatable.) Now I realize what an absolute waste it would've been...although I guess you can argue that point if they show up in the next flick. Guess which side of the argument I'll take, though...

Not for every time they released a BB!! But in terms of deluxe figures I was surprised we only got the one in '07.

I was amazed they didn't sneak him in again for ROTF, given how popular the deluxe class became.

I just stumbled into this auction. I really can't say I like it, though...

yeah, that's what I saw. I should have paid more attention to what I was looking at. I actually half way looked for that one in stores

And that's the custom in question. He has nerve calling it a Hasbro original...
