Sometimes I just don't know where to put an image. That's when it ends up here.
![]() Bumper 1984 Autobot |
Bumper, perhaps more commonly known as Bumblejumper, was never officially released in America, but he occasionally showed up packaged on a Bumblebee or Cliffjumper card. He is a completely unique mold similar but not identical to Bumblebee and Cliffjumper: Bumper resembles a Mazda Familia 1500XG, whereas Bumblebee was a Volkswagen Beetle and Cliffjumper was a Porsche 944. All three figures come from the Microman series, one of the toylines that was a predecessor and contributor to the Transformers line. The names "Bumblejumper" and "Bumper" come from a hybridization by the fans of the names "Bumblebee" and "Cliffjumper", stemming from its appearance on their two cards, and the fact that originally some mistook the toy for a blend and/or recoloring of the two molds. Bumper was only released officially in Brazil (under the name Sedan and in various colors) and that's where this artwork came from.
