Cliffjumper

Cliffjumper is an Autobot warrior from Cybertron who, alongside his fellow Autobots and their Decepticon enemies, crash-landed on Earth millions of years ago. Reawakened in the modern era, he joined the ongoing battle against the Decepticons, as depicted in Marvel's original Transformers series beginning in 1984.

Few characters can claim they were there from the very beginning — Cliffjumper debuted in the landmark first issue of The Transformers in 1984, part of the Bronze Age wave that introduced an entire universe of mechanical warriors to Marvel Comics readers. Created by Bill Mantlo, Ralph Macchio, and Frank Springer, this scrappy figure has shared the page with titans like Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and Starscream across a publishing history that stretches an remarkable four decades to 2025. With appearances spanning The Transformers and the fan-favorite crossover G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers, Cliffjumper has proven genuinely enduring in the Marvel UK corner of the Transformers mythology. That key-issue debut alone makes tracking down their earliest appearances a worthy mission for any serious Transformers collector.
