    Naw, they should pack the invisible console he uses when Jazz reports his security status to Optimus at the start of the film.

    We will never know.

    Cliffjumper is a Porsche which is owned by VW and they say no to war toys.

    Indeed. But that's alright, the Internet already declared that they'll just repaint Bumblebee red, gold and then yellow to get us, Cliffjumper, Goldbug and Sunstreaker.

    Sadly, all three will never make it to the states because of Philip Morris.

    I know it'll never happen this way, but it would be better if Cliffjumper were scaled to be the same size in alt mode as Wheeljack and the like. I can forgive a one off like the Beetle being smaller, but if Jazz comes around, I'd prefer he and Cliffjumper be close to the same length in alt mode.

    What does Phillip Morris have to do with this?

    Exosuit spike with cliffjumper is perfect, they'll probably do it too.

    Are you kidding me? No thank you, cliffjumper and bumblebee need to be relatively the same size. Cliffjumper with a vehicle mode the size of wheeljacks would look ridiculous.

    I'm glad takara has established that scale is very important, so the likelihood of cliffjumper being the size of wheeljack is just about zero. Bee isn't a one off.. He's the scale they've established.

    Looks pretty normal to me. I prefer realism to replicating Penny Racer proportions.

    Rather have MP Exo Suit Daniel with MP Wheelie. Didn't Takaratomy just release Exo Suit Spike with Bumblebee?

    According to the TFWiki: "The figure is referred to only as "Excelsuit" on the packaging and instructions, but is identified as Daniel in the lineart included in The Transformers Masterpiece Official Guide. "

    Anyway, no, MP Cliff shouldn't come with Exo-Spike because Spike only used the thing in backstory. Cliff should come with the gigantic cannon he used in the G1 3-part opener.

    And Noobimus, Phillip Morris is a cigarette company, the reason my Exhaust ain't gettin' released in the US. And Hicks was deliberately being facetious. The Sunstreaker ref is a giveaway.

    I... I don't think you get that it's a joke. Or the joke's not funny. Only one of these won't damage my fragile ego... I'll choose that you failed to get the joke.
    Thanks, Bass. Saved me the effort.

    They did... but we'll get a Nemesis Spike and Year of the Animal Spike before it's over with. You know, gotta pay off the cost of making the mold by repainting, repainting, repainting! Might as well get started.

    Considering they're sizing these figures based off of the size they were in the cartoon, YES cliffjumper would look ridiculous being the same size as wheeljack.

    This is G1 masterpiece scale, not real world scale with G1 characters.

    Personally I hope they don't...didn't really justify the expense IMHO. I'm sure we'll get Bumblebee recolors but I'd prefer they be cheaper

    Nooooooo... But then, I also don't want more forearms gaps and lacks of wrist swivel justified by "he's too small" excuses.
    Argh... Quoted with a typo in my post. But yeah, rarely should I be taken seriously.
    Also true. The exosuit Spike was a nice, one time pack-in that tied Bee back to the Magnus release and the movie... but if it meant saving fifteen bucks, I don't need anymore.

    I think they could pull off a scaled Porsche, but make the robot mode in such a way that's he's about the same height as Bumblebee.

    i think he will be like bee if he's made, to keep the bot modes in scale, he would have to be smaller

    They should include something else. Like several of the human characters, Carly or Chip Chase to make up for it. I don't think we'd want another exosuit.

    I don't think there's much debate that he'd be a shrunken (but not deformed) Porsche ala Bumblebee to be had. Robot mode scale has been the emphasis of MP since MP10. In reality, I doubt we'll get Cliffjumper anytime soon.
