    What.

    Now they're just getting lazy. Also, the mold looks really weird in that colour, at least in the magazine scan. No thanks.

    it might be heresy but the recolor of this mold that i want the most isn't a g1 character so i will probably never see it.

    I like the mold, but I really don't have any desire for just a straight red recolour. All this does is make me want Cliffjumper! I hope someone does a CJ at some point that uses similar robot parts with the Porsche alt mode.

    Oh are those new Ironhide pics? Seems to be showing he can store a weapon under his van mode.

    MP Cliffjumper is a bit of a headache.

    The real life car looks NOTHING like his toy or cartoon versions

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_924

    That's going to have a HUGE impact on what the robot looks like, especially in the head and feet.

    If I was collecting Masterpieces, I would ask myself: Will they make a MP Cliffjumper someday? Probably if they will give us a MP Jazz (because of the alt mode). Or is Red Bumblebee basically a poor manufacturer's Cliffjumper. Because many people probably said Red Bumblebee to Cliffjumper as kids anyway.

    Indeed, although I think it can be done. It worked for Bumblebee and X-Transbots have also done a great job at turning an accurate-looking Pontiac into a cartoon-accurate Windcharger.

    And for the people that think red Bumblebee is lazy, just wait until we get black Tracks and black Ironhide!

    Yeah, there was a time when I would have demanded he have his old familiar Chibified G1 alt mode. But now that Bumblebee is a realistic VW, and Brawn was turned into a realistic Land Rover by Badcube, and we're getting realistic Trans-Am Windcharger (from X-TB), I worry Chibi CJ would look out of place.

    I think the best option would be for a Porsche with a bunch of custom parts on, like a big spoiler and front bumper, rear fenders, maybe some chunky tyres, to evoke his original look.

    EDIT Ninja'd by Sixo! :lol

    Hard to get excited. No doubt I'll get it though.

    Argh, damn them, I do not need this but I will not be able to resist... Seeing a bot of those proportions in red really makes me want Cliffjumper all the more, though.

    Indeed - looks like he can store a gun in van mode, nice.

    I'd love if they gave us rubsigns for some of these toy-not-toon accurate decos.

    Looks cool in red. Wonder why they not retconning him as a character like with the recent Diaclones. Hmmm can I put him with those guys I wonder?... probably

    But somebody show me those Ironhide pics!

    Do you guys have any speculation about what sort of 'bonus' accessories this might come with to fill out its value/tray...?

    I can think of:
    -Action Master Bumblebee's Helipack/Cannon
    -Carly or Sparkplug or Chip (other companions)
    -A white 'scientist in labcoat' disguise
    -the skyspy aspect of telatran 1

    Others?

    I reckon he'll be partnered with something as there is a precident, and it adds incentive to buy the toy.

    Well Red Bumble could also be a Masterpiece Version of Classics Cliffjumper, because he was just a repaint of Bumblebee :D  Just add some silver deco to the red, done.
