With a bit of tweaking to look more real, Sideswipe and Ironhide would totally have worked like that for live action movies. I would have accepted them over what we got.

June 16, 2012. Yikes!

It's cool. But for Sideswipe? I don't like it.

It's mostly Movie Sideswipe recolored like his G1 counterpart, but I quite like it.

Yeah, ooooooold news...

Good mix of then and now. I like it. Looks like it'd make a neat toy.

Absolutely beautiful!! :BOWDOWN:

With the cool designs that both Sideswipe and Ironhide have gotten, it would be a shame if neither of them appeared in Prime, the Jagex game, or any future form of media in the aligned continuity. (I want a deluxe figure of that Sideswipe RIGHT NOW :KREMZEEK:

)

Well, he has appeared in both WFC and FOC, and is getting a Generations figure. But, I get what you're saying. You want his Earth-style body.

Artist Emiliano Santalucia has updated his blog with designs for an Aligned Universe version of Jazz. Check out the images mirrored below, for more of Santalucia's comments on the design click here.

Jazz is one fly sonuvabitch.

Hot damn!!!

We did get that hint that Jazz & Perceptor would be in season three. Just give us some concept art for Perceptor, Mr. Santalucia.

I am loving the Return of the Shoulder mounted cannon, One of the best G1 Design aspect ever. Love the G1 look.

Good Point. I think the difference is, the old school Rockets were extremely noticable, Breakdown's barely is.

It is unfortunate for me that this makes me think of a TFP Bumblebee repaint.
Not sure I could ever enjoy this now.

Yeah, except for when it was extended. You couldn't miss it.

That sounds so dirty.

Whoa! Jazz is looking pretty sweet! Kinda wish he was more stretched out like his FoC in game rendering or the RTS figure is, but I can't complain to much. I mean he's got his g1 shoulder cannon!

*EDIT*

Just took a look at Sideswipe and my god! Just like aligned Ironhide, it's as if Bayformers and G1 got together and made this handsome piece of artwork!

Man I love this design! He is quite sharp looking!

It's sad that every character with door wings suddenly looks like a Bumblebee repaint to everyone. First Smokescreen (whom looks nothing like Bumblebee besides door wings, and the occasional forearm depending on perspective) and now Jazz.

Nobody deserves their own mold anymore. Let's make 100 retools of Bumblebee and name them something different. :BANG_HEAD:

This is where I point out that Prime Bee stole G1 Jazz's transformation scheme.
So Jazz looks exactly like he should.

I.e. Bumblebee is, in fact, the repaint. /meta

YOWZA!! That is one cool cat.

This makes the following whom we've seen their Aligned designs from the Binder:

Optimus Prime
Prima
Ironhide
Sideswipe
Thundertron
Jazz

And maybe Bumblebee is that was his Binder design we saw on the pop-up book cover.

Yet, this Jazz seems to have a mix of his FoC counterpart's transformation scheme (rightfully so) as well as his Movie transformation with a G1 back-kibble transformation.

Indicators:

So his transformation should be different from Bumblebee's.

Though, you do realize that this design precedes his WFC design since this art was done several years ago.

Also, now I'm going to have to get the children's pop-up book since it will have more Aligned designs from the Binder like this. :KREMZEEK:

by **Shadowstream** » Wed Dec 12, 2012 7:18 pm

Well he looks better than Sideswipe, but that's not saying much. Gayverse Bayverse Jazz was less of a major divergence from his previous forms, so mixing the styles up here doesn't look as bad, but the fact is it's still there, so... :SICK:

Yeah? My point stands regardless. The transformation mix is there for a reason.

Something inside of me wonders why they're releasing all of this Earth-based 'bot concept art and hopes that Sideswipe, Jazz, and Perceptor will come to Prime. That may be wishful thinking...

...but how cool would it be to have a second team of Autobots on Earth with Team Prime? :KREMZEEK:

Well, my guess as to why we're getting this art revealed is because, since Santalucia made them, he wants to show his art to people so they can look at it and give their thoughts on it, and Hasbro's finally letting him show it.

As for why now they're letting him, the upcoming pop up book will have even more of this art, so maybe they're letting him reveal this stuff as a sort of prelude to it.
