Nope. Google Image Search results.

Yeah, the person who took that pic included Classics Cliffjumper since he met and teamed up with the SG Decepticons in the first comic.

Some fiction, or is it just a good excuse to make cool repaints?
It started as the theme of BotCon 2008 and has kinda stuck around since. It began with a since comic issue, but then grew bigger with text stories and some magazine comic issues, all published by Fun Publications for the Transformers Collectors Club.
It's basically the Transformers take on the age old science fiction concept of an alternate universe where everything's backwards. Good guys are evil. Bad guys are good. Rights are wrong. Wrongs are right. History's inverted. Etc. etc.
Such iconic examples from the past would be Star Trek's Mirror Universe that had Evil Spock with a goatee, and DC Comics's Earth-3 that had the Crime Syndicate of America (evil Justice League).
