Arcee attempted to evacuate her wounded comrade, but was struck down by Starscream instead, leaving Cliffjumper's future looking grim. Saved from certain doom by Arcee, Cliffjumper turned the tides on the Decepticon, only to be shot in the back by Starscream. Cliffjumper and Camshaft attempted to provide cover for Smokescreen to evacuate the fallen Air Raid, but Thundercracker killed Camshaft and wounded Cliffjumper. The Reign of Starscream #2 Cliffjumper and the others made short work of the Swindle, Dreadwing, and Payload drones that the Decepticons sent against them, but were unprepared for Thundercracker's sonic weaponry. Together with his teammates, he attacked the Starscream's landed Decepticon starship. Rising Storm #2Īfter the death of Megatron and the destruction of the AllSpark, Cliffjumper was part of an Autobot assault team on Mars under the command of Arcee. His team was ambushed by Shockwave's troops, and though Cliffjumper himself was shot in the chest by Shockwave, he lived to retreat and regroup. Defiance #4 Foundation #4Ĭliffjumper participated in a mission to steal energon from the now Decepticon-controlled Trypticon. Foundation #3 Sometime later, with the war reaching its peak, Optimus Prime made the decision to capture the AllSpark and launch it into deep space, hopefully sparing Cybertron further devastation and giving his Autobots the breathing room they required. Defiance #4 Cliffjumper was in a crowd of Autobots waiting for Optimus Prime's orders after the Decepticons launched the Nemesis into space. Ironhide wasn't in the mood to fight anyway, so the rebels took him to see Optimus Prime. A brief standoff ensued where Ironhide was confident that his abundant weaponry would ensure Cliffjumper would not harm him, but the younger 'bot noted the cannons were all Ironhide had, and suddenly, his confederates sprung out of the ground to surround the old soldier. In the wastes of Burthov, Cliffjumper got the drop on the disenfranchised soldier Ironhide, who had quit Megatron's army in disgust. The group managed to escape to Burthov while Optimus stayed behind long enough to defeat the would-be assassins. What the officers didn't know was they were all marked for death, and on the trip to Trypticon, the group was attacked by soldiers loyal to Megatron. ".But if we wind up in Carbombya, I quit."Īfter Megatron discovered that Optimus, Prowl and Jazz had been snooping about in his quarters, he sent Cliffjumper and Bumblebee along with other expendable security officers under Prowl's command to arrest Optimus on trumped-up charges of treason.
Later, presumably all the security personnel were present at the meeting where Optimus asked them not to follow Megatron into war. Prowl and Jazz came to investigate the attack on the temple, and Cliffjumper reported that they didn't notice any unusual activity from the AllSpark during the battle. Defiance #1Īfter the battle, a panicky Bumblebee knew something big was coming, though Cliffjumper thought that they wouldn't have anything to do with it anyway, as they're only supposed to stand guard at the temple. When Starscream arrived, Megatron told him to keep Optimus's team out of their way. Megatron proceeded to berate the two Autobots for not doing a better job and not taking the fight to the enemy, but received a bad wound from the attackers. Relief finally came in the form of Megatron, who quickly slagged several of the attacking craft. If anything, they should relax and let the action come to them.Ĭliffjumper rather regretted his words, as hostile aliens attacked Cybertron, and the pair were quickly pinned down under heavy fire. Cliffjumper pointed out that, even though they were Defense Force material, they'd be just as bored in the Defense Force, just doing patrols. Cliffjumper tried to get his bored friend to calm down when the yellow guy got anxious from just sitting around. Many, many years ago, Cliffjumper and his look-alike Bumblebee guarded the AllSpark at Simfur from nothing in particular.
