19:30 Yes, since Legends is no longer a class (for now), they are really working towards proper scale, which allows for this figure to be undersized and Hoist to be oversized in the same price point, because the cost is spread around the same wave. I personally LOVE that they are doing this.

Autobots, transform, and ROLL OUT... of Thew's gob! :D As for the "what is going on with Earthrise deluxe-class?" question, I think its a matter of spreading development and production costs across the assortment, much like studio series has done. That's why Hoist is almost Voyager-scale, Cliffy is almost Legends-scale, and the rest fall somewhere in-between.

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

Hasbro has always kinda done that, but used to limit the "some more, some less" bit to paint and small accessories. Now they're doing it with plastic, too, which isn't a bad thing. They're also reusing minor parts in creative ways that blue the line on "retool" - do Titans Return Scourge and Windblade count, since they share the same extending spine and thighs?

Earthrise Cliffjumper really is a treat. For the price point I was iffy on the size, but it really doesn't matter. The plastic quality is awesome, the weapons are sick, good transformation and articulation. Literally the only negative is the shield backpack, but it's not a big one for me. It's better than Siege Optimus in plastic quality, which dissapoints me because I love that toy as well. Also, thanks for pointing out that the G1 Cliffjumper that I had as a boy (likely the key chain re-release or knock off, given I got it at a garage sale for a quarter) was in fact the red Bumblebee. I wish I could find that thing, I'm sure I have it somewhere.

[@rayrecall-reviews]

So I know somebody probably already said this, but they did come out with a "fix" component that when installed, fixes the earthrise CJ's partsforming. Also, well worth it for the finished product.

I'm a massive car nerd so here's a bit of fun I noticed: G1 Cliffjumper is a Porsche 924 Turbo. Then Prime rebooted him into what looks like a modified Dodge Challenger. Earthrise Cliffjumper is very clearly modeled after a Mitsubishi Starion, which was a Japanese competitor to the 924 (and later 944), but was also sold in the US as the Chrysler, Plymouth or Dodge Conquest, effectively combining the G1 and Prime roots.
