Oh god a bumblebee remould. How long have we waited for something like this, and when it comes, the excitement is swamped with apprehension...

Well, now that "Masterpiece" finally means "rabid adherence to an '80s animation produced in a sweat-shop" Cliffjumper's easily made from a reworking of MP-45 Bumblebee.

IF this is MP Cliffjumper: This morning's leaks - tmukhub.proboards.com/post/384786/thread - throw a little doubt ..... An MP plus 3 deluxes..... and then the same 3 deluxes show up with a deluxe Cliffjumper? |

Whatever the case, this is surely how we finally get an MP Cliffjumper, now that fidelity to real-world alt-mode designs is out the window.

That's a lot of painted transparent plastic waiting to be scratched.

It does. I can't work out which bit goes where in this URL to get it to embed, but if you look at this side by side with Bumblebee you can see it's a remould. The grey plastic in this prototype is straight from Bumblebee, and if you look at the feet you can see the transformation is the same. The wheels are in the same place. www.facebook.com/563866863749163/photos/p.2305982722870893/2305982722870893Fans Toys are doing this far better.  |

It looks terrible though, right? Nah, I think it looks great. I'm gonna get three: one for robot mode, one for vehicle mode, and one to keep FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER!!! |

Bold choice to go all out SD for the car. Looks good, but wouldn't work with the other cars. We've long discussed the way to do an MP alt mode for the minibots, looks like they've just stuck with toon as that's the thing now.

The G1 Masterpiece line stopped being masterpieces a looooong time ago.
They're just now large super expensive and overly complex toys that honestly don't look or function any better than their Gen Classics scaled counterparts.
Earthrise Cliffjumper does the same thing as this, far cheaper and less complicated, without a faux chest, while actually looking better doing it.

Having just been reminded of the existence of a perfectly decent looking MP Skids, I do wonder what madman they have designing these new minibots. It's like a 3P's first try.

Looks pretty similar to the original mould so I don't think so...   |
