Do you have Alt OP and Nem Prime? Cliffjumper and BB? Tigertron and Cheetor? Anything that equates?

You like what you like, that's fine, but you (the other 10 at least) bought the movie Jazz on it's own merits, what makes it any less just because it comes out again with a different paint scheme??

"This mold is NOT worth buying two"

What made it worth buying once then? Were you compelled to purchase something you didnt like?

Dont mean to be advisarial, just trying to understand what makes THIS repaint something that gets traded up while soooooo many others get added to a collection along side the original?

i'm definetly not disagreeing with you, but i'd be much prouder to show that one in the collection that the movie..
however, at the same time i want all the movie figures as they appear in the film..
i'm so torn. i've only got so much shelf space.
now, i'm just confused.
i could use a beer

^ Hah, I could use a beer too. Just because.

Well I'm officially converted, since G1 Jazz is one of my favorite characters, I'll be getting this one, while I passed on the original. It was pretty cool (one of the better movie designs), but the lack of proper arms bothered me. This color scheme is just too cool to pass up, it'll add another to my Jazz collection. I just hope it's not a Target Exclusive...damn Target not being in Canada.

Just because my son get's it, I wouldn't necessarily call it giving it away, it just won't have a life sitting on the shelf looking pretty, it will be a well loved toy that will get tons of play life. I like to hope that everyone who does just give their movie color Jazz away gives it to "Toys for Tots" or something like that. and if it is out of the package, just give it to some kid. They will play with it, even if they just think that it is a car!!

Jazz looks cool, although I don't see how this is a "final battle" version. Starscream just looks out of place. I wish they had stuck with his original head, though. I'm all for Seekers with slightly altered modes, either robot or alt.

Muhhh.. I'm on the side that g1 colors should stay with G1 figures. but these do look good so id ont know.. if they repaint more mayeb i'll pick them all up, if they all look good, and make a new seperate display ^^

LOL Good answers. I like you guys. I spent years on Star wars boards and those guys will buy the same figure 173 times if they paint the shirt buttons different. I find your views refreshing.

Wed Jun 06, 2007 9:34 pm

I gotta say Jazz looks pretty tight. Starscream?...there is no Starscream, only Ape-Plane.

Sweet paint scheme. But crap, now I'm going to have to buy that poopy mold again.

News Credits: 7 · Wed Jun 06, 2007 9:39 pm

Wow another cheep g1 starscream repaint. Although I like jazz now if only they continue the classics after the movie line is done and do something simalar.

Wed Jun 06, 2007 9:45 pm

I'm with KSC, if I had already bought silver Jazz, I would still buy G1 Jazz. I mean, giving toys to Toys for Tots is cool and everything, but if your silver Jazz is already open, why not just call it something else? Like I said earlier, I'm calling mine Ricochet.

But that's what I do. If I like something well enough to get a repaint, too, then I just call it something else. There are TONS of TF characters without decent toys.

Anyway, that's just my take on repaints.

I don't know how you guys find this ****! That site is a friggin nightmare to navigate!!!! :-x

I've found other codes too. "Allspark" lets you watch the game trailer. And "sector7" gives you this stupid add disguised as screensaver. I haven't found the other 7 yet, but if you just plug in nouns associated with the movie and TFs in general your sure to find something.

Edit: Just found another one. "Freedom" gives you a video of someone quickly transforming Robo-Vision Optimus Prime.

Edit 2: "Activision" gives you IM icons of Arcee, Hardtop, and Signal Flare.

Edit 3: Doh. Just figured out you can move the eye around which will show you the codes Robovision, Rollout, bullseye, and gen1. :oops:

Most interesting of which is Gen1 which gives codes for the upcoming game that unlock new skins for some of the playable characters! :DANCE:

1 more code left...

I find that hard to believe in the toy collecting world, especially collectors of the we'll-repaint-anything-once-twice-if-they-buy-it Hasbro.

I'll be buying this and keeping my movie version.

Dunno if I count. I'm keeping mine and buying the repaint too when it surfaces. I just think this is one of those times where the repaint is a major improvement on the mold is all.

No he said 9/10 of them. Here is the list to make it easy...

Robovision
Allspark
Rollout
Gen1
Energon
Activision
Freedom
Sector7
Bullseye

Now we need that one last code.

Also, Jazz is awesome, and I am gonna pick him and all the other Gen 1 Repaints. Now my decision is which to let out of their boxes, the Movie Versions or the Gen 1 Repaints...

EDIT: Final Code is Sentient, which you use the word in the exclusive online game, which I believe is the one found on the Game's Myspace page. [/b]

I find this post enjoyable. I'm still buying pretender-Ape-plane, so he can keep Bug-Face company.

I am so buying this version. While the Movie figs are somewhat lack luster, these G1 accurate repaints are beauties! He may even look good with the Classics, who nows!
