Fiction

Generation 1 cartoon

Who cares? I'm more worried about where it's goin'!

Cliffjumper fired a silver version of the bazooka on Megatron from a great distance, hoping to end the war with one shot. Despite having Megatron "dead center in [his] viewfinder," Cliffjumper missed, and alerted the Decepticons to his location.More than Meets the Eye, Part 1

Ironhide fired a green version of the bazooka as he and several other Autobots fired on the Decepticons as they attempted to launch Spike Witwicky through the Space bridge.Transport to Oblivion

As the Autobots struggled to keep the Decepticons from continuing their plot to orbit Cybertron around the Earth, Ironhide ran to Optimus Prime carrying a silver version of the bazooka, suggesting a call for reinforcements. The Ultimate Doom, Part 3

War for Cybertron: Earthrise

We hope you really like this weapon accessory!

• Cliffjumper (Deluxe Class, 2020)

Earthrise Cliffjumper includes a disconcertingly large cannon similar to one he briefly used in the G1 cartoon episode "More than Meets the Eye, Part 1", which can split into two smaller blasters, a pair of skis, and a stock piece which can attach under his wheels to form hydrofoils as seen in "Dinobot Island, Part 2". The back end of the cannon folds out to fit in his car mode's underside to help balance when skis are deployed, and can also be used as a club-like melee weapon in robot mode. It can also mount on either his thigh or on the side or top of his shoulder, meaning you can put the entire cannon in these spots. Similarly, his detaching car trunk can either be put onto the robot mode's back or be used as a shield with help of a flip-out peg. This peg and the back end of the cannon use a unique post and port to connect to each other.

The promotional renders and early product samples showcased at conventions showed his weapons and skis being silver, while the final product had them cast in black plastic (with the guns being painted silver except for their handles).

Phew, okay, one other use of it is probably fine.

At least he has ear protection on moonbase two, given how much he loves this thing

• Cliffjumper (Deluxe Class, 2021)

To coincide with this Cliffjumper's cartoon-accurate deco, the bamboozlingly big boom stick is painted metallic blue to also match its appearance in the cartoon.

"I've gone beyond being just plain old Cliffjumper's Bazooka. I'm a death-dispensing murdergun!"

The real star of this set!

• Cliffjumper (2024, blindboxed model kit)

Notes

• Cliffjumper's bazooka is described in the "More Than Meets The Eye, Part 1" script as a "BAZOOKA-LIKE weapon" and in the "Transport to Oblivion" script as a "bazooka-like tube, the end studded with a circular series of smaller 'rifle' bores." It's not mentioned in the "Ultimate Doom" script. In the packaging copy for the sixty-billion toys of it, it's referred to merely as a "weapon accessory."
