Cliffjumper (2001/2003/2007)
A keychain version of Cliffjumper was released by Fun4All under license from Hasbro in the US in 2001. Though based on the original toy, this is an entirely new set of molds, with a number of small differences throughout (minor proportion differences and generally softer edges), but the most immediately obvious one is the small plastic ring added to the rear bumper to accommodate the chain. The tech-detailing sticker behind his head was replaced by a second Autobot insignia sticker like Hubcap has.
In 2003, Takara released all four of the keychain Minibots (Cliffjumper, Bumblebee, Windcharger, and Brawn) as 7-Eleven exclusives. They came in blind-packed boxes so you don’t know which one you got until you open ‘er up, plus each one could also come in a “chase” all-black version exclusive to this release. The black deco was later repurposed as an evil clone of Cliffjumper.
All four keychains were re-released in 2007 under the Heroes of Cybertron banner by Basic Fun (Fun4All having gone bankrupt in 2004). Sold on new cardbacks with the Heroes look, these releases are functionally identical to the originals (just the company stamping has changed) except for the actual chain part, which is a different style with an additional black plastic tab attached.
This version of the mold was redecoed to make Tap-Out.
