Description An hour or so went into these. Thank you poll. I don't think I've drawn/painted Cliffjumper that often, or at all. I can't remember. But now I have! Yay. What's happening in these four sketches is all up to you.

It's a darn shame that he didn't last very long, he was awesome.


This reminded me that it has been a while since I last saw TFP...

OMG REWATCH TFP!!!  

I don't know really. I am not so fond of Cliffjumper. Maybe it's exactly because he didn't get much screentime outside of being a zombie! D:

I WILL!!! XD I need my Predacon fix, as well as Megatron and Soundwave.


Mmm, that is a good point. Kind of hard to be attached to a character when you kill him off as soon as he is introduced.

Nice work! Still mad about how the Hub advertised Cliff as though he was gonna be a main cast member and then just killed him off...I feel like him and Arcee would have made for a very fun duo, and that Cliff in general would have been a better character than R2D2...er...Bumblebee XD.

I guess I'm lucky I didn't see those ads! If I recall correctly, the production team thought first to have Smokescreen on the role of Cliffjumper, but then they changed it. And Bee being R2D2 is just a nice variation because there's always someone who replies to him and we get to guess the general direction what he has said depending on mood, body language and sounds.

KaijuDuke In reply to pika [2019-06-02 19:56:06 +0000 UTC]

I wish they'd used Smokescreen instead XD. As for Bee, I think it would have worked better, for me at least, if they had given him a more humanoid face, that way even if we couldn't tell what he was saying, we could read it on his face more readily. Its really ironic in that regard, they give Optimus Prime lips but he's usually super stoic, and they gave Bee a super robotic face despite him being way more emotional & excitable...Just seems like they should have swapped those around to me. I do get what you're saying about the body language and sounds, just didn't do it for me personally.

I love Smokescreen. Such an insecure and inexperienced young bot who actually got a lot of character development in just one season. When everyone else was moody and dark, he brought in the cheerfulness. 

You know that not all characters are meant to be likable, right? I love TFP Soundwave, but I can't start even liking Animated Soundwave. Just an example. OP having face and Bee not is to not let looks decide how the character behaves. I know TFP Bumblebee was liked a lot, same with every character in it.

Its cool if you & others like Bee & Smokescreen, I'm just saying why I'm not a big fan of TFP Bee, and would have preferred to see Cliff as a cast member over him or Smokescreen. To each their own, just because I'm not a fan of him doesn't mean others can't be, there's room for different opinions. 

I actually really like TFA Soundwave, he's so creepy and evil, plus while he's not voiced by Frank Welker, he has the echoey synthesized voice he's known for, and I like his design better than TFP Soundwave's. TFP Soundwave is definitely a useful guy to have around however, to the point I often wondered why Megs didn't just have Shockwave clone an army of him instead of hunting for predacon bones, nine out of ten problems can be solved if you have Soundwave on the job XD.

And I gave you the opinion of why I like the characters. Of course there's different opinions, but that doesn't mean we have to try and make the characters likable to ourselves by changing them. I wouldn't change Animated Soundwave. He's a working character with a different kind of a story arc, with different design, and purpose. I just don't like him.

I have actually never thought about the CNA cloning like that. Yeah, UNLESS they have different structure and Shockwave actually cannot clone normal Cybertronians.

I don't think a lot of people remember him, let alone draw him considering how quickly he was wiped out which is a shame
The way you've drawn him makes him look like a real sweetie pie :^)

pika In reply to ThatGreyOne [2019-06-02 14:26:07 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I remember him, but despite the episodes he was in, the first ones and the one flashback, for some reason he wasn't that memorable to me. Maybe him being wiped out so quickly affected it.
