I've been a transformers fan since the 80's as a child and a Camaro fan since my first classic car show as a kid. Going back to my childhood I remembered that the Bumble Bee toy had a red double named Cliffjumper. I didn't think of it at first, but I guessed with the success of the movies and the toys that go with them they might have made a Camaro Cliffjumper. I searched ebay and was right! My car is IOM but red is closer than yellow lol. So if you don't like yellow but want to nerd it up go for it.

Is your alignment right on the front? Probably just the angle of the camera...

I don't want to jack the thread so I'll just say yes and point you to a bunch of information on the car including alignment.

Too late for that. Your car would steal the show in 99% of the threads in the site. I have to change my pants

Every time I drive it I feel the same way.

We didn't start out to have a Transformers look to the car. It just sort of evolved into that with in your face Victory Red and Gloss Black accents.

It looks terrific Pete. AMAZING look. I'd drop mine also if it weren't for some shitty roads around my place.

What the heck, Hasbro/Transformers couldn't come up with a better name than Cliff Jumper?? It's cool that bumblebee had a twin but the name sounds kind of corny for a Transformer. Hmmm maybe there will be two Camaro's in the next film? Bumblebee & his twin Cliff Jumper. I wouldn't argue with two Camaro's in the movie.

The name cliffjumper is from the old cartoon/toys. So I think they were appealing to the collectors/nerds/me. Changing the name would be like making Optimus a prius. It would not go well for Michael Bay.

I really like the colors on your car Justice the two tone looks hot.

That is one nice looking Camaro, even for a Ford guy.

xtreme industries · 10-20-2009, 01:43 PM

my 8 year and 3 year old have been calling my car cliff jumper since i brought it home. my 8 year old knew all about cliff jumper. i had no idea. it is IOM but its close enough for them. i dont mind the car having a name. plus i plan on getting the transformer badging and hood stripes for it anyways. and hopefully the sill plates will go on sale soon so i can order them.
