Uno de los autobots más importantes de la G1. Muy parecido en robot a Bumblebee, pero no tanto en vehículo.
Está bastante flojo, sin embargo se puede transformar sin problema y se mantiene en pie sin problema. Es tan viejo que no tiene año de fabricación.

The tiny little Autobot named Bumblebee gets an official Masterpiece grade release from Takara-Tomy (MP 21 Bumble). Pictured in his Volkswagon Bug mode.
Far smaller that previous MP Autobot cars, he fits well being the minibot scale. His transformation is excellent as expected.
His design is very much like ToyWorld's Bii, but don't with better paint, engineering, and polish.
With the new year of course comes a new line of Transformers. For 2020, these come in the forms of Earthrise and Bumblebee: Cyberverse Adventures. As I get older and hoard more stuff, I find my interest in the main line stuff is starting to wane, mostly because I expect more from my toys, even if I have to pay more. But, there's always a few figures here and there that tickle my fancy, and that is the subject of todays write up, the Transformers Earthrise: Cliffjumper figure, a Deluxe class release with an MSRP of $29.99 CAD.
Earthrise is a continuation of the "storyline" set out in Siege: War for Cybertron. The battle between the Autobots and Decepticons has reached Earth, and the various characters have adopted Earth based alt modes.. which is a nice of way of saying instead of loving homages to G1 modes, they're probably going to use the actual G1 modes. Now, normally this would be something that tickles my interest, but with the existence of the MP line, I feel that getting to attached to this line could cause trouble down the line should they release a character in that form. The good news, however, is that if I do decided to buy something, the ones I get at my local Walmart are the same as what would be sold in Japan, and probably cost much less too so... #winning.
Cliffjumper was one of the original G1 minibots, and was one I commonly referred to as "Red Bumblebee" as in both toy and show, the two shared many characteristics, and there may even have been some red Beetle toys to further confuse the issue. OG Cliffjumper makes his return to the Transformers lineup in the Earthrise lineup, complete with his alt mode of a red sports car. As stated, he is in fact a Deluxe sized toy, even if he is one tiny mother of a toy.. I mean, look at him next to Nat. Remember that Nat is only about 5.5 inches tall, which places Cliffjumper somewhere around 4 inches in robot mode.
As far as I can tell, there's no gimmick with this line like there was with Siege, though I suspect there will be a theme from a transformation perspective.
Cliffjumper comes with the figure and his weapon, a bazooka that can separate into multiple smaller weapons/parts for the vehicle mode. That was expected from the previews. What I DIDN'T expect was that Cliffjumper has a removable backpack that doubles as an "accessory", but look so stupid I didn't even bother to photograph it. Other than serving as a dumb looking weapons/armour, it also allows the design team to cheat in the design of these toys. I'm kind of mixed when it comes to how I feel about this. On the one hand, the final figure looks pretty good, so what do I care about how they achieve it, but on the other hand, it feels almost like a step backwards with regards to design ingenuity. Now, I don't know if the backpack thing is a feature across all the figures - I do think I read something about it in the the upcoming Arcee figure, and thus I suspect it may be a feature across the entire Deluxe size class, if not the sizes above.
The Deluxe class has always been a great combination of size (usually) and articulation, no matter what line you're looking at. Earthrise is no different, with Cliffjumper possessing ankles, knees, hips, waist, shoulders, bicep swivel, elbows, wrist swivel, and head on a ball joint. With all that at your disposal, you're gonna be able to get Cliffjumper into at least one or two decent poses, though posing with the combined bazooka may be a bit challenging due to the size of the weapon.
From a paint perspective, it's now the second year we've had these elevated prices, but at least it can be said that paint application quality is generally not bad. though the actual amount of paint on the figure is relatively limited. I think the only red parts that are painted are the canopy, and the only black parts painted are the stripes along the front and the rear of the vehicle mode. All the silver is painted, including the bazooka. Overall, there are some minor hiccups here and there, but the resulting product itself isn't bad at all. There are none of those "battle damage" paint apps on the figures that most people hated on Siege figures, which results in cleaner figures and less cost for Hasbro/Takaratomy. There's only one decal, the Autobot sigil on the vehicle hood, and the quality and application of this was acceptable.
Build quality is another area that the increased price point seems to have helped overall. The joints are nice and tight, holding poses as intended. The plastic itself.. again I don't have the technical terms for it.. feels like whatever they use for 3D printing, which is rigid enough to support finer detailing, but does not feel brittle at all. Along with a more ambitious transformation scheme, I've also found that the tolerances are better, with parts fitting together nicely with fewer gaps, as well as more actual tabs themselves for mounting parts and guiding transformations. Backpack cheat aside, the transformation itself is a decent challenge and does allow Cliffjumper to remain a tiny little thing even in vehicle mode without having bot mode part sticking out like a sore thumb.
In conclusion, it can be stated that as a Transformer collector, I've come to grasp with the reality of the new pricing scheme and it's nice to see at least that Hasbro/Takaratomy is making some effort to improve the product. Everything looking great, is very crisp and clean, and I can't even complain about the size because, well, Cliffjumper is tiny. While I guess they could have made a Legends scale figure out of him, from an articulation perspective I'm glad they didn't. I feel whether or not you feel this is a good Transformer or a letdown will all depend on how you feel about the backpack.
I don't have any plans to get anything between now and Arcee, but with random 20% off sales that show up from Toys R Us, there's a good chance I'd pick up something else from this Wave One as to verify my backpack theory.
Back to the grind!
One of my favortie characters as a kid, I'm so glad Hasbro revisited him and made some sort of "ultimate" Powerglide figure.
I totally repainted him to match the animated look and I also panel lined all the details, which looks great on jets of any kind! And if you add the great sculpt, he now looks absolutely accurate.

This originally it was supposed to be my Minibots V.2, but when I added the helmet, it was twice as good.
Enjoy. :D

Bumblebee was included in the Minibots set, reissues under Encore.
He has some improvements, including the anime accurate face, that also was included in the Takara Collection reissue, but also he has some paint details improvements.
This version of Transformers Autobot Huffer is from the third-party toy-maker Cubex. Pictured in his robot mode.
He's the closest sized option I have for a Classics Huffer, and so he's my stand-in at the moment. He's a bit too big compared to the other Classics minibots, but he fits in okay if you look at the scale chart as Huffer is supposed to be a head taller than the others. He may be a better fit for a Masterpiece-scale collection.
This is the first release from Cubex, and this guy's official name is Huff. While there are some nice design elements, he definitely has a few quality-control issues. He doesn't fully tab in in spots, feels loose, the paint is known to chip, and even the clear-plastic gun rack came off on mine. He's nice, but definitely not without his faults.
On the spaceship built by Cray for the rebel ex-federation team a gang of bots ( all built by cray) polishes on of his DIY homebuilt spacecrafts while having a chat…
- …so Cray built us all???
- yes it is his hobby building mechanoids and spaceship as this one that we are polishing right now!!! He might look like a fleshling baby attached to a copy cybernetic but he is our creator, kind of, our minds were bought at Harry’s scrapyard, illegally, erased old cores fitted with programmes dowloaded on the Alien-net highly illegal in federation space and territories…
- So how do you know so much? I don’t remember anything from before last Wednesday… I must have binged to much oil at the robo-pub and my circuits must have corroded heavily…
- No you fool, that is because you were activated that day or reactivated depending on how you see it…
I was one of the first in the robo-batch constructed, was polishing Cray’s computer and managed to push a button and the ‘puter sprang in to life he had forgotten to log out of the Alien-net and all the sudden memories were coming back to me… Harry must have done a sloppy job, he had forgot to format my external Hpv-drive and some of my memories came back to me…
- Wow really cool…
- yes and then I started exploring the web, our masters are wanted by the federation and very famous, especially the one dressed in pink, the one always looking at us as if she was gonna consume us with her eyes…
- DO they eat droids??? Do they!
- No silly she has even more sinister thoughts or more repulsing things to do to us… no non of the fleshies are Robo-balls their teeth are too weak…
…you know if we turn these guys in we could get more Kedits than you imagine and we could pay an illegal circuit-bender to erase our slave-programming so we didn’t have to maintain the ship and polish every thing and corner in here…
- But I kind of like polishing, I can’t think of anything better to do…
- Well that is because your slave-prg is telling you so, search you inner, you know that you were meant for more than eternal servitude…
- Ok I’ll give it a shot, but first explain what Kredits, the federation, fleshies is and then also what sinister thing the pink one is planning to do to us…
- Sure thing Bro’ but firs follow me to a safer spot where there are less surveillance and prepare you to be in for a ride in to a surreal universe…
- what is surreal???
- oh just follow me!!!
This version of Bumblebee really homages the version of the character from the G1 cartoon. Pictured in robot mode.
Produced by the third-party toy maker, ToyWorld, this figure is a great homage for Classics/Generations collections. He's officially called Bii (TW-03).
While he is yet another Classics Bumblebee, I feel the design and engineering push this toy to the top of the list. ToyWorld did a great job on him, and I think he fits in well alongside the other Classics Minibots.

Simpático minibot, de los primeros que se convertía en vehículo acuático. Gran diseño tanto en robot como en vehículo.
Está en excelente estado, también una ganga en eBay.
Classics deluxe scale Autobot minibots in their vehicle modes.
All but Bumblebee are from iGear's Mini-Warrior line. I'm happy with all of these guys at this scale, even though they aren't the greatest figures for their cost. Gears is the standout in my opinion.
L-R: Beachcomber (Duneraker), Outback (Bushwacker), Brawn (Hench), Swerve (Veer), Gears (Cogz), Cosmos (UFO), and Bumblebee.
We just need a larger Huffer, Pipes, Windcharger, and Tailgate to finish off the minibots right. The original iGear releases are too small, and so are the scout/legends class figures. I don't mind Powerglide and Seaspray being larger since they aren't automobiles.
