This is a pair of blasters for TF: Prime RID Cliffjumper! I know everybody is sore that the stock figure
does not come with his distinctive, awesome looking tri-barrelled blasters.
This is something to help ease the pain!

Edit: I would be remiss if I did not mention knyghtmare2021 of TFW2005.com helped me test out
the first set of blasters and provided invaluable feedback. Thanks man!

These blasters were made public a few weeks ago, but it is only now I managed to snap a few pictures of them.
(Also, because I didn't have an RID Cliff to pose them with until I found one on discount. Whoopie!)

Your mileage may vary with the handle tightness. The blasters were loose
on the right hand of my figure, but were fine on the left, so I suspect
the problem is with the figure itself. Line the loose fist with super glue; it helps tighten the grip.

Comparison shot.

RID Cliff's arms are really too long for a blaster design like this, but it looks pretty good
once you get used to it. And yes, FE Cliffjumper can also use these blasters
(and he looks awesome with them) but why would you do that?

Alt mode.

Sigh...you know what? I would rather have Hasbro give Cliff a second peg hole
on the left side of his figure than on his roof. Or maybe have all three in.
At least you can mount the blasters on both sides and have them symmetrical.
Well, you work with what you have, I guess.

Comments, critique much appreciated!! Hope you guys like the pretty pictures!

Have you tried using them on the Arms Micron Version?

I'm afraid not as I don't own the Arms Micron version. But I don't expect there to be any problems fitting the blasters to it.

Nice to know you can mount both blasters symmetrically on the forearm ports in bot and alt modes too!

Yup, I know that...or rather, both the blasters shown here and the Arms Micron versions are inspired from the tri-barrelled rendition from the animated series. I did these blasters for those who don't want to spend the coin on a Takara import and are happy with their standard CJs, but want a little something extra and show accurate to arm their figures with.

I never was interested in what Takara was doing with the TF: Prime line due to the lack of paint apps and chunky Arms Microns. Never really floated my boat I guess.
