Did you miss out on the Fansproject Cliffjumper Upgrade Kit and not willing to give up your first born child or kidneys just to buy one now for your Classics Cliffjumper? Well, according to ACToys.net member metalfatigue, there's a new option on the horizon from a new kid on the third party block: Beelzeboss. This demonically named toymaker is introducing a upgrade set, appropriately named the Devil Horns Custom Kit, that includes a small blaster, a large, bazooka-like cannon, and a horned head to give your Cliffjumper a more accurate, G1-styled look. The pictures of upgrades show off the clean look of the updated head, the grey guns, and the very cool, box art.

I picked up an extra War For Cybertron Cliffjumper and popped off his head for my Classics Cliffjumper and it looks good, a little darker red so it might need a slight paint upgrade.
if this set changed/added CJ's bumpers in car mode like FPs, Id be likely to pick it up. But for now, swapping out the new Generations WFC CliffJumper head works for me, though weapon upgrades are usually nice.

That head is the best one we've seen so far, the WFC head is good for what it is, but doesn't look like the G1 version.
How can we order this? Any info yet?

Uh... bit late to jump on this train isn't it?
I never got a classics CJ myself and at this point I'm thinking the WFC one works a bit better for his character anyway, so... easy pass.

Not really. There are a butt ton of people who missed out on the Fansproject release (myself included) who would love to upgrade their Cliffjumper to be more G1 accurate.

I need this. The box list special functions for the lazer gun I wonder what they are? This seem to small to transform or anything like that. If it's less than forty with shipping it's mine

I'm surprised they didn't put a bi-pod on the front of that large blaster and extend the back a bit to make it more G1 accurate. I like how they styled the hand gun but I'm with Sid Burn and Mkall in regards to the weapon color. Should have been black and not primer grey. Still, it's a nicely done set. I probably won't pick it up myself since I don't have that strong of a need to convert my classics CJ but I can certainly appreciate the work they put into this and I can't help but crack a smile over that name. Beelzeboss is not something I'll be forgetting any time soon.

This is looking pretty good. If it isn't real pricey I may pick it up to mix and match with my KO FP upgrade. I wish it had some parts for the car mode too.

Very cool--I hope these guys follow what seems to be a trend right now among 3rd party companies of offering small upgrade kits for reasonable prices (iGear Kup heads, for instance). Missed FP's upgrade, but honestly never liked the aesthetics of it in alt mode or the head sculpt in bot mode. This head sculpt looks spot on, and I can deal with Cliffy looking like Bumblebee with a color change.
Bought, if it's affordable!

If it weren't for the RtS re-release of Classics Bumblebee, I'd say sign me up (safe assumption of Generations CJ by summer). On the other hand, if FansProject were to revisit the CJ concept (using Classics 'Bee's trailer hitch or even the waverider for the weapons in alt mode), I'd go 15.00* - 20.00 on a set.
*After all, the City Commander weapons upgrade was what - 14.00(?) initially.
On topic: Great release by a new 3rd party - will need a review to sway me though.

Again, I love all of these small upgrades. This set is well designed. Would like someone to review for material quality. Like everyone else, price will be the deciding factor.

Has there been any word on a re-release of CJ? I didn't get him the first time around, and with Bumblebee coming back out it seems reasonable to expect CJ again.

I have no need for a CJ head, as I bought one from Venska many, many moons ago, but I could always use spare guns.
If this set is reasonable I'll buy it for those alone.

Definite want for me..though the lil gun will go to Bumblebee since I give Cliff the Deluxe Megatron's gun with the fold out stock since it kinda fits my vision of a bad mamajama Cliffjumper.

I've got to say that I really hate that cannon. And that's not compared to FansProject's. I simply don't like it. I'd also have liked the face to have a bit more emotion to it. To look a little more animated. That being said, I've also got to give it to Beelzeboss; I might not like the design 100% but it looks like it's made of good quality stuff. (Dare I say that it looks a better quality than FansProject's Cliff upgrade kit?)
I've just had a look at Renderform's concept art too. Looks potentially tender. Will wait for more details to become available on both sets before deciding.

Awesome. I missed the first upgrade kit because I was making minimum wage at the time, but I'm doing better now. So far, I've been using the head from Generations Cliffjumper, but the red doesn't quite match. It's okay from a distance, but when you get up close, you can tell.

So far, it looks pretty good. I have the FP CJ head, but with BB gettin a re-release, I may snag this head and new BB, and just repaint into Tapout. No matter what though, if the price if right, I'll buy.

*sigh* Yet another 3rd party product that will make the aftermarket prices of a toy skyrocket. I just made a deal with a Classics Cliffjumper, for cheap, and he'll be keeping his head. He'll be repurposed as the red Bumblebee variant
