10 Transformers Who SWITCHED SIDES

10. Cliffjumper (Prime)

Poor old Cliffjumper, always drawing the short straw. In near enough all iterations of Transformers, the Autobot scout has been nothing more than a Bumblebee repaint. In most of those iterations, he's the sacrificial character. And in one iteration, he turned Decpticon.

Okay, well in the show Transformers: Prime, Cliffjumper may not have exactly switched sides as much as become a Decpticon zombie. In his debut scene in episode one, he was mercilessly murdered by Starcream, but (like many Transformers) he had a resurrection, albeit zombified thanks to a shard of Dark Energon.

He may not have been particularly willing - due to him being dead and all that - but Cliffjumper did have a small stint fighting against the Autobots as an undead Decepticon warrior called a Terrocon.

While it may not have been his choice, at least we'll remember him for being more than the Bumblebee clone that always dies.
