Cliffjumper

Here’s another fantastic member of the Autobots that you definitely haven’t encountered yet if you’re not an avid Transformer fan. The Generation 1 series featured various unique characters that made the story even more interesting. One of them is Cliffjumper!

This dedicated Autobot pays off for his small physical attribute by being the front liner and the first one to attack in hazardous situations. Cliffjumper always desires to smash arch-enemy Decepticons which he calls "Decepti-creeps". His bravery won him respect from the rest of the team, although at times his ‘being too aggressive’ led him into situations where he finds himself helpless and losing control of the situation. He was well-known because of his cool motto, "Let me at 'em!"

One of the coolest things about Cliffjumper is his vehicle mode. He is a Porsche 924 Turbo with the radical ignition switch! Wow… And according to Wikipedia, the original tech spec interpretation written by Bob Budiansky revealed that Cliffjumper was also known as Blow-Out, a name later used for a Generation 2 Autobot.

Cliffjumper was a member of the original Autobot squad of the Ark. Cliffjumper was given the alternate mode of an Earth car when the Autobots and Decepticons were revived. Cliffjumper and Hound were sent to inspect out the location of the Decepticons. Cliffjumper took the chance to try to shoot Megatron, even though he was ordered not to take on the Decepticons. As a result, their existence was revealed by Megatron and the Decepticons.
