Elkridge, MD (September 8, 2005)— Palisades Toys has announced plans to release a new Transformers statue in conjunction with NonStopToys’ upcoming Bumblebee exclusive. Cliffjumper, a Bumblee repaint, will be strictly limited to 250 pieces worldwide, and will only be available at www.PalisadesDirectStore.com.

Cliffjumper is one of the fastest Autobots in automobile mode. His speed is particularly effective when drawing fire away from his compatriots, a job that he relishes, and which seldom leads to him being harmed. In terms of enthusiasm and daring, he has no equal among the Autobots, and he is known for his “Let me at ‘em!” attitude. Among Cliffjumper’s arsenal are projectiles filled with what he calls "glass gas." On impact, this gas disrupts the microscopic crystalline structure of most metals, temporarily making the metal as brittle as common glass. Of course, sometimes his over eagerness can get him in to trouble – Cliffjumper has been known to suffer blow-out from accelerating too quickly, and has even fallen victim to his own “glass gas.”

Cliffjumper will be available this holiday season exclusively from Palisades Direct, and will retail for $54.99 apiece. Bumblebee, the companion piece to Cliffjumper, is available for preorder now at www.NonStopToys.com.
