That seems odd, doesn't it?

And this makes exactly 1/2 of the known Japanese line to be TTM exclusives in that market.

Which is quite curious. I can see no real rhyme or reason for it.

We got something similar with Hasbro. No reason really for Siege Ratchet and POTP Wreckgar to be walgreens exclusive and not intergrated into the mainline instead. I know wreckgar wasn't an exclusive in Japan, they must have been saying the same about us. It's just having retailer exclusives for the sake of it, both companies are guilty of it.

I think it was less the fact that Takara's making some figures exclusive that aren't here that's confusing people, and more the fact that half of the entire line so far is exclusive over there.

all I can say bout that Prime is that Reprolabels has their work cut out for them with that blasted p.o.s. trailer lol..

Toycave Studios

I am still really excited for what this Cliffjumper does, but I dont think this will dethrone GDO as bestest Cliffjumper figure. I love the bazooka and ski modes, and the legs remind me of the Classics Bee, and for me I like the synergy of the two. That car mode makes me think Windcharger though

Cliffjumper looks really nice, I'm digging the alt mode and accessories a lot. Also I maintain he'd look great next to TR/LG Bumblebee.

You know what would have been a cool gimmick on Prime's trailer? Lenticular printing, so the design would change depending on how you looked at it.

I like it, but what would the different images be? Maybe homages to different era's trailers?

Fair warning, but Deluxe Earthrise Cliffjumper is quite a bit shorter than either MP Bumblebee figure. The difference in height between them is more than that of the difference between TR/LG Bumblebee and this new Cliffjumper.

Is he smaller than deluxe studio series jazz?

If Cliffjumpers head looks a little oversized on roadburns body I think a chibi robot look will actually work for him.
Orig MP Bee is around 1-1.4 inches taller than legends figures, compared to TR/TL Bee it is about an inch though obviously size effects proportions not just height. Im thinking Cliff is somewhere in the middle of the two, making him a bit out of scale for either.

Cliffjumpers feet and legs will fit pretty well with new MP Bees feet and it will be easier to have a MP Bee in a stance to reduce his size rather than putting all my legends figures on some kind of bases but the size might not be that noticable in hand/on display anyways with the legends figures.

I made a rough comparison based on what we've seen.
