NEW YEAR POST PART ONE- TF PRIME FIRST ADDITION TERRICON CLIFFJUMPER

TERRICON CLIFFJUMPER 2010

This is the only first addition that I have as they did not come to the UK.
This is the normal version of this figure. There was also a San Diego Comic con exclusive in 2012. This has different packaging and was called "Rust in peace"
Cliffjumper was killed by Starscream after he was captured by the Decepticons. This was in the very first episode of TF Prime Darkness Rising series one. In episode two of Darkness Rising Megatron returned with dark energon and they used Cliffjumpers body to try it out and he got turned into a zombie. He become out of control attacking the vehicons until Megatron cut him in half. He was then thrown off a cliff into the Energon mine.
The Autobots knew he was dead as his life signal was gone but where then confused when it popped up again. They went to the mine and Arcee found he was a Zombie. He was laying on a ledge broken and damaged. Starscream on Megatrons orders blew the Energon mine up taking Cliffjumper with it.
Megatron learnt to control the dark Energon and created a Zombie army of Terricons

 

MOTTO; unknown

 

FUNCTION; Failed experiment.

 

BIO; unknown

 

STATS unknown but what would a zombie have.

 

 

Car mode front

 

 

Car mode side

 

 

Robot mode

 

 

With display stand

 

 

Cut in half

 

The muscle car mode have some dark energon battle damage and a silver crack on the bonnet and along the wheel arch. he also has some purple translucent cracks on the roof of the car. The windscreen and the others are translucent plastic as are the headlights.

The horns on the front of the car are complete but I am sure that in earlier pictures one was broken as the robot mode.

He has a Autobot insignia on the side of the car. there is the moulding for it on the other side but they did not  paint it on.

Apart from that there is not too much damage. I think he is slightly inferior to the San Diego Comic Con so that if collectors paid a lot of money for it they would not complain when this cheaper version came out.

 

His robot mode looks more like a zombie and they have remoulded his head so it is all ripped up. One eye is bigger than the other and he has the missing horn. He has purple light pipping. The translucent plastic is now on his chest.

 

You are supposed the fold the windscreens against his legs but I don't bother.

 

You can fold his hands in and give him some triple barrelled cannons. I don't think that he should  have guns but I like this feature.

 

I think that this figure looks better than the RID version. I does not have a fake chest. It looks more realistic.

 

He is a very clean and neat figure with very little kibble. His lower back has the grill from car mode.

 

Articulation is very good for posing

 

As a kind of Easter egg with this mould you can slid out his body into two pieces. This is the fun feature and represents the time he was cut in two by Megatron.

 

There is not a huge amount of dark Energon damage on the figure but you could add some yourself with added official stickers.

 

It is a very good figure to have. Normal Cliffjumper is now cancelled and this guy had replaced it.

 

He also comes with a cardbaord stand which looks nice on display

 

It is really worth getting for your collection. It is very accurate.

 

I highly recommend him partly because he is a zombie and is really cool. Put him on your shelf with RID Megatron holding his sword over him cutting him in half.
