    Not really worth the money IMO. I'd rather pick up one of the less expensive Convoy versions.

    Yeah, with a new head this would have been my stand-in "Classics" Jazz. As Ultra Magnus I'm just not feeling it.

    Which is super weird considering they never bothered releasing Henkei Deluxe Cliffjumper.

    They had the Legends Bumblebee as Henkei Cliffjumper, why bother with the Deluxe.

    Takara has never released a Cliffjumper that is just a straight recolor of a Bumblebee. He's always had at least something different.

    So I imagine to them a recolor of Henkei Bumblebee into Cliffjumper didn't fit with their perception of the character so they went and used another mold to recolor him into.

    Still hoping for a Smokescreen/Prowl/Bluestreak version (with slight head remold).

    I'm on the fence. I've never really thought of this mold as Optimus and prefer the black one so I'll have to see if a white repaint of a generic robot is worth $65 to me.

    Now that you mention, they haven't straight up mass released any Henkei repaint.
    Convoy -> Wonderfest Crystal Convoy
    Hot Rod -> Wonderfest Wildrider
    Skyfire -> toyhobby Dark Skyfire
    Starscream -> Ganbo/? Thundercracker/Skywarp, Generations Ghost Starscream
    Mirage -> Generations Electro-Mirage
    Cyclonus -> credit card Strafe
    Sunstreaker
    Lambor (different head)
    Alert (police lights)

    These are clearly just renders of the packaging. I'm hoping this means there is still a chance for the windowed plastic getting used.

    Nice box, but not enough to buy another White Prime.

    The solid box doesn't surprise me. It's similar to Binaltech BT-18 Rijie... it's (a) a money-saving thing, and (b) an exclusivity thing.

    Again, the massively altered size and placement of all the logos and nametags on the top and front, plus the completely different car-front end panel, makes it highly unlikely they'd make this clear. The logos ad nametags alone would almost completely obscure the toy inside and defeat the entire purpose.
