Name: Cliffjumper

Make: Autobot

Role: Autobot Security Officer

Bio: Nobody hates Decepticons more than Cliffjumper. The little bot is dry and sardonic at the best of times, but when presented with Decepticon combatants he turns into a blur of rage, which usually leads to his fellow Autobots needing to bail him out. Cliffjumper knows he isn't very powerful, but his temper gets the better of him.

There's a lot of gossip amongst the Autobot ranks about what made Cliffjumper who he is today. One of the most popular stories is that he was a bartender, who lost his establishment and his friends in a Decepticon attack, while another states he had a yellow spark-brother, killed early in the war. These two stories, as well as all the others, are wrong. Cliffjumper's hatred of Decepticons is purely ideological, and his bottomless well of rage would be turned against anyone spouting Megatron's smelt pit.

Cliffjumper's hatred is specifically targeted at Megatron's army, and he holds no ill will towards the handful of Decepticons who have joined up with Optimus, but it doesn't stop them from being somewhat uncomfortable around him.

Abilities: Cliffjumper is alert and good with protocol, making him a competent security officer, but his jumpiness has prevented him from rising further up the Autobot ranks. The responsibility that comes with his position helps keep him out of trouble, but only to an extent, and Cliffjumper will gladly and knowingly put himself way in over his head. Thankfully, despite being one of the weaker Autobots, Cliffjumper is an expert with all sorts of weapons, especially heavy weapons, and is more than capable of giving a Decepticon a bloody nose, even when forced to retreat.

Despite his name, he's actually not so great at jumping.

Notes: (From Bumblebee): I feel bad for Cliffjumper. I know that sounds condescending, but he seems lonely. He doesn't have a lot of friends. Don't get me wrong, people like him, but he doesn't really spend much time with them when off duty. Which is a shame, since he's actually really nice and pretty funny when you get to know him. Maybe I should try and get him to open up some more.
