Transformers Prime Robots in Disguise Deluxe Class Cliffjumper

I was disappointed when the Transformers Prime First Edition figures were not released when they should have been, and then the "Powerizers" and "Revealers" were released instead. But this Cliffjumper is actually pretty cool. He's short, like Cliffjumper should be, but the detail on him is pretty high. In robot mode there are not that many paint apps, but in vehicle mode, he actually has a few more paint apps than the First Edition figure. This Cliffjumper's transformation is also pretty simple, much more so than the Generations War For Cybertron figure. I'm not a big fan of his accessory, "The Battle Hammer", but it can be held to look (roughly) like a blaster, and his hands are standard size, so he can hold any of the Classics/Generations weapons in his hands. Pick this up while you have the chance!

Cliffjumper was never one of my favorite Transformers until the Prime series came out and 1. I saw that his vehicle mode is a cross between a 70s Dodge Challenger and a 70s Plymouth Barracuda, and 2. I realized that he was voiced by The Rock. While the G1 Cliffjumper was basically a reskin of G1 Bumblebee, Prime Cliffjumper, while roughly the same size as Prime Bumblebee, is a completely different design.Vehicle Mode:Excellent. Like I said, he's a classic 70s muscle car, a cross between a Challenger and a Barracuda, with a set of bull horns ornamenting his hood. It's not perfect, as there is some visible kibble behind the windows, but it still looks pretty great.Transformation:Fairly straightforward. Some of the steps involved in pulling up the trunk and roof parts require a bit of force, and could be a breakage danger for younger hands, but otherwise it's not particularly difficult. There is some gearing involved where dropping his arms and shoulders into position automatically raise up his head.Robot Mode:Looks good, and tough, especially from the front, but from the sides and back you realize that much of his body is hollow or just a half-shell. This is especially noticeable on his legs, which are empty from the rear, and his arms, which are empty from the sides. Ball-joints provide reasonable articulation at his hips, shoulders, and feet, but his knees and elbows are simple elbow-joints. His wrists have some additional articulation, as a sort of half-ball-joint, but the gearing mechanism for his head preclude any articulation at his neck. There is quite a bit of kibble from his roof and trunk on his back, and his arms are pretty much folded kibble.Accessories:Cliffjumper includes a cannon/warhammer. It can attached to the roof or right rear body in vehicle mode, and wielded as a gun or a warhammer in robot mode. Kind of clunky looking, but functional.Overall:Great vehicle mode, great robot appearance from the front, but the hollowness of the body detracts a bit and definitely makes him less durable. I'd give it a 3.5 if I could, but my fondness for his Prime cartoon version makes me round up to a 4 out of 5. For young children, I'd lower the score to a 2.5 or 3. Because of that, I'm giving it an average score of 3.

Got it for my son, he enjoys it, but it is difficult to transform back into a car because there are some really tight spots to slide in. That being said, it is stronger than other transformers that we have gotten, and I'm not as worried about it breaking. I think it helps develop puzzle solving skills.

one of my favorite vehicle modes of all the transformers! Extremely detailed and well put together. Some pieces may fall of the ball joints but east to put back together. intermediate difficulty in transformation. I would highly recommend this product. Ages 7 and up should be able to transform without adult supervision.

Again, go for the first edition.This revealers edition looks really cheap and the design is worse than the first edition. The First edition is not perfect, but this one is just crappy.If you buy it for your kids, it might be OK if your kids don't care about screen-accuracy. If you buy it as a collector, simply skip it and you'll be just fine. I will wait for the reissue of its First edition or I'll never buy Prime Cliff jumper and Bumblebee and Arcee. Fortunately, you can still get First edition Bumblebee and Arcee (NYCC Comic Con exclusive) from HasbroToyShop.com. Around $40 after tax and shipping.

As excited as parents may be to see some non-scary-looking transformers on the shelves, or collectors may be to finally see some of the line of characters from the Transformers Prime cartoon (an excellent show btw) on the shelves, I'm sad to say that this specific toy is not so good.He looks good! He looks great as a car or as a robot. Sadly, he is very flimsy - and would not hold up to much play. He transforms like a lot of the movie transformers do, with "shards" of the car's shell coming apart and twisting away - but in this case these shards are holding him up and are forming his legs and arms. So, what you have is a really really cool-looking robot (and car!), but that is extremely light- turn him around, and he looks like a prop from Hollywood - all emptiness back there! So, he's top-heavy a bit, and if any parent or kid happened to step on him, he's toast.His joints are well made, but he's still hard to move around because of his airy arms and legs, and kids will have yet another hard time lining up the shards when transforming him. Afraid you'll want to pass on this guy, unless you plan on keeping him on your shelf and only looking at him from the front.

Bought this for my 3-year old son who still cannot transform but for some reason enjoys this character as much as bumblebee. He will ask me to do the transforming and I would say it is easy enough for anyone 5+. This is a very cool toy especially when in hot rod mode.

Nice thing is the head lights are at right position after transformationBut the wheels are all at wrong positions
