Maybe I’ll just throw everything in a Dropbox folder and put the link here! It’s been almost 10 years now and they are just sitting around collecting figurative dust.
The lessons here are about people rushing to create pages too quickly and the inflexible use of language from some people wanting to categorize everything.At long last, I have finished typing up the full story of how and why Ladybug was renamed to Cliffjumper, along with some coverage of the new pack-in comics and script reading. All is revealed here:
Heh, shortly after I posted this report late last night, it made the news:At long last, I have finished typing up the full story of how and why Ladybug was renamed to Cliffjumper, along with some coverage of the new pack-in comics and script reading. All is revealed here:
Ha! The BotCon Twitter actually replied to the TF Moments tweet from last night with some info that was never said at the con:
It's actually not quite MIB. The box is pre-opened and pretty banged up, with Roulette only staying in place by a single plastic tie that's barely holding on to her. The two figures themselves are in good condition, at least, with Shadow Striker still firmly secured by all of her original plastic ties. But thanks to the subpar packaging condition, the seller had priced them lower than you normally see them go for MIB or MISB.
You know what's really funny, though? In my report that I wrote on the wiki, I was using the nickname of "Lady Cliffjumper" to distinguish her from the other CJs that appear in the comic. I came up with that nickname entirely on my own, as a play on the fact that her name was originally going to be "Ladybug" and that she's a female Cliffjumper.Always good to get new fiction but it sucks that it was at the cost of 1984 "Red Bumblebee" getting an official unique name.

So you don't have to translate...You know what's really funny, though? In my report that I wrote on the wiki, I was using the nickname of "Lady Cliffjumper" to distinguish her from the other CJs that appear in the comic. I came up with that nickname entirely on my own, as a play on the fact that her name was originally going to be "Ladybug" and that she's a female Cliffjumper.
But this morning, I wake up to see this tweet from Jesse with the following revelation:
That Cybertronian text running vertically down the side of the picture? That says "Lady Cliffjumper"!
I completely forgot about the Cybertronian text printed on the boxes and never thought to check what they actually say! Holy snap!

Well, now I want to know what the daughter asked!
There's a video recording of that panel on YouTube, which should contain the question asked.
