Calling it Bumblejumper makes it sound like the toys is a cut n shut!

Not so much.... with the Bum and umper there is something of an overlap
The only place Bumper has a problem is up against Bumblejumper where it looks like the middle of the word has been pulled out

Calling it Bumblejumper makes it sound like the toys is a cut n shut! Or rather that Bumblebee and Cliffjumper have a combined mode, like Slamdance, Squawkbox or Dreadwing. Then again, Thunderwing isn't formed from Thundercracker and Seawing, and Overload isn't formed from Overbite and Wideload. Martin

Bumblejumper is also 50% from Bumblebee and 50% from Cliffjumper. It does mean something, it means 'chap who looks quite like Cliffjumper but is coloured like Bumblebee'. Admittedly the name Bumblejumper would be equally suitable for Hubcap and yellow Cliffjumper. Humblejumper.

hmmm, interesting. i am just thinking out loud and trying to see if there are any patterns. (this was supposed to be a reply to The Huff, not a weird interjection in the middle of another load of weird interjections)

Yeah, we had more yellow Cliffjumpers around when I were a lad. Wish I still had them. I think they annoyed me for being 'wrong' as a little 'un, so less care was taken with them. Oh, foolish, foolish me! I think I like the aesthetic of the Penny Racer Minibots the best, and I really would like to pick up those variants if they weren't silly money. Never saw a BumbleBumper in the plastic as a kid. I was well into early adulthood before I encountered one. Yellow was the colour of the first Cliffjumper I saw, and the first one I bought (the same one for the record). I didn't see any Cliffjumpers for quite some time after that. It wasn't until I saw the comic and cartoon some time later that I discovered that Cliffjumpers also came in red. For me I tend to think of Cliffjumper as being yellow as a normal thing (forty years of one's Cliffjumper being yellow will do that to a mind), and always get a subtle sense of wrongness when I see one in red. Ironically I have this urge to classify it as a Choro-Q/Penny Racer instead of a Transformer because it is the "wrong" colour... Karl

You see? There he goes! There he goes with the sexual deviancy! Everyone's having a nice silly time of it saying the word 'bum' and Big Perv Phil has to immediately drop it down to sleazy hitherto unseen levels! Monstrous!

I always thought Bumblejumper was a lame name, and I like Bumper instead. I hope that settles things.
