    I love this little guy, and I'm glad he's finally got his own guns and is the right size. Cliffjumper was the very first G1 Transformer that I ever got as a kid.

    Sure. Here ya go along with some bonus pics. Sorry for the mobile phone quality, but it's all that I've got.

    He's already out in the US, as is Nemesis Prime. Finding them might be tough for the next coupe of weeks, though. Check your nearest Target stores.

    Incidentally, I think Supressor is a Decepticon. Look at how he's pointing the gun at Cliff in the package! Plus, even though I know that the black gun is gang-molded with the Roller mold, it gives Cliff another gun so he doesn't need Supressor as his only weapon. Supressor's longest character entry in the TFWiki is for a Decepticon and does have the same colors as the original Minicon like StarscreamGaga said earlier.

    I second that! All I remembered about TF when I was a kid was that small, red Bumblebee lookalike. All these years, he was the only character I remembered except for Optimus and Bumblebee, of course.



    Oh, I pre-ordered him a while ago from Big Bad Toy Store but they haven't released it yet. I may just have to check my local Target store out of curiosity.

    I just got this guy at local TRU and, he has a malformed Ball joint on his right elbow. The ball is fine but the cup if full of excess plastic that blocks it from going in all the way. Im going to try to fix it my model kit making tools. Namely an X-acto knife.

    Given the colors and size of Suppressor (and ignoring the whole identity thing) he would make a great Targetmaster for Generations Sandstorm.

    CJ may have BB's head, but at least it still looks like Cliff's head. The only complaint I have with this entire mould is the lack of neck articulation. The mould can't make many convincing poses with the static, front facing head. Other than that, this mould is excellent. Good articulation, good alt mode, good aesthetic and a clever transformation.

    Aha, I came here to post something similar. On mine it's the left arm, it looks like the pin that holds the shoulder (the part with the rear wheel on it) in place wasn't aligned correctly when the figure was assembled. There's a stress mark on the plastic by the rear side window on the same piece and it's a tiny bit lower than it is on the right arm. Thankfully it was easy enough to fix - pop the whole arm off of the main figure and look at it from the side, it was easy to spot the misalignment. It took only a tiny bit of force to get it to slide properly into place.

    That aside, I like the repaint. A differently-shaped head would have been nice, but considering the scale of the figure, I can't complain. Maybe a little silver on the spoiler? Nothing a few minutes and a paint brush can't clear up.

    Also, something I like about these legends figures is how they work in scale with the "larger" figures - deluxes in particular. These two look great alongside the RTS G2 Optimus Prime, WfC/FoC Optimus Prime, and probably even the Classics deluxe one, too, though I couldn't quite bring myself to pick that one up. They also look good along with Classics Voyager Optimus, with other figures (Ironhide, Ratchet, Wheeljack, etc) in deluxe class. Glad we got both of these from this line, and looking forward to more of them.
