    Anyone know how this figure will scale with the current Legends sized Transformers? Think it will be close enough to look good next to Windcharger,  Brawn, and the other great newer Legends figures?

    Cliff is not to small, he's a minicon.

    ...Miniature = small. Dont mean to be a smart-ass, but i mean come on. These characters arent exactly new.

    Reflector was also short in the toon; they should be taller than minicons, but shorter than standard car bot.

    With that being said, Cliff looks close to V1 MP Bumbles, tranformation and all. Might just pick this guy up to hang with'em.

    I mean partsforming on combiners is a little more understandable than a standalone figure. The combiners need hands and feet and at least most combiners now have those parts double as weapons. Not sure why that's an issue.

    Wish they’d shown him next to a deluxe. He’s probably a little smaller than I’d have prefer, and it’s too bad about the parts forming. But all in all, looks pretty good to me, a nice representation of the traditional bot mode without a chibi alt mode. Hope they can do the same for the rest of the “minibots,” but I’m not holding my breath.

    At first I was upset about the back window partsforming / being removable, but the thing is it kills the MP Bumble Bee in every way. a $20 toy looks and transforms better than an $100+ MP. I emplore anyone bothered by the partsforming to watch the video and then watch MP Bee being Transformed. If they make ER Bee it will straight up embarrass the MP designers.

    Just my opinion.

    I don't know if the guy who did the review is a member here, so not sure whether there's anybody who can accommodate that.
    However, since the review showed him next to siege Prime, it might be better to ask for pictures of any figures in question (like legends Bumblebee?) next to siege Prime as well.

    I'd prefer no partsforming. Just kinda... Defeats the idea of a Transformer for me. That you can get from one mode to another in a seamless progression. Partsforming is just... A cheat and feels lazy in that regard. Only exception is if the part becomes a decent weapon or something. I was super hyped for this figure, but this reveal has kinda killed my enthusiasm a bit.

    Cliffjumper's is partsforming at its worst. It's a piece that needs to be removed and doesn't become a decent looking weapon. Plus, I personally don't feel he looks better without the backpack.
    That being said... I guess I can live with it? If there seems to be no feasible way he could operate without partsforming (i.e. the entire design would need to be redone from scratch to remove the partsforming), I guess it's not as bad. But I'd still prefer they'd have come up with something that didn't require you to remove the back section...

    The partsforming is both disappointing and especially weird considering it shouldn't have been pretty hard to put everything in place without it.

    Then again, this is most likely for future uses of the mould that most definitely include Bumblebee and hopefully some Throttlebots. Plus, if it's used as a shield then it's weapon integration and that's fine by me.

    I think he's better than MP.

    While it's partsforming, its not egregious. It's not like it's taking the wheels with it.

    Partsforming 1/3 of the vehicle is unacceptable in current year. I heartbrokenly cancelled my preorder

    It looks like an easy way to change the car's aesthetic to reuse the mold for other bots without having to make remolds of the whole bot

    Looks good to me. I don’t give a toss about partsforming.
