So am i to assume that everyone here wants 80's paint schemes on 2007, revamped, new generation transformers?
Despite being unrealistic, this repaint Jazz looks a lot better than dull grey Jazz. And I think many people would rather have a fun looking toy than a realistic looking toy.
Jazz's G1 color scheme has rarely been seen other than the reissue. The only other time in recent years that aren't statues is the Spychanger Jazz. G1 colored Starscreams have been overdone. G1 colored Jazzs haven't. G1 colored Ratchets haven't been overdone either.
So allow us to enjoy our G1 colored Jazz.
Also, there have been mentions of G1 skins in the Transformers movie game. I assume its referring to these repaints than the actual G1 designs.
Yeah i second that! I have been waiting for a nice Jazz like this. I think all the G1 paint schemes were really good and well thought out at the time, they simply rock, not like all that corny neon **** that came after. Does anyone know when this will hit the stores or is it still months and months away?
Ahh, people who are stuck in the past and cant move on with the modern times....how cute.

Um, why can't we have out own opinions. And you are completely wrong about the paint jobs on Modern vehicles, that's actually becoming quite popular on new cars.
But what do I know about car customizing...
Oh yea,
First Place Luxury Import - NHRA Summer Slam
First Place Luxury Import - Import Exppressions
First Place Toyota/Lexus - Sport Compact Performance Montreal
...and many others.
Oh yea, I also got asked to lend one of my cars to a little movie called "The Fast and the Furious", but I said no, cause I would have been without it for 6 months.
Then surely you would notice that on a stock car, these custom paint jobs do not work. Maybe with an added bodykit, race car spoiler and rims yeah, like the original jazz alt mode, but on a stock pontiac solstice that race car paint job simply doesnt work.
I didn't say stock, I said modern. But if you are talking stock, I do include factory accessories, and here is a good example of an old paint scheme on a new factory car:

First, I stopped modifying cars as a main hobby 4 years ago. I do still have the urge to get back into it and do have a very modified NSX (it is setup for road racing, but looks cool as well). I'll take pics when I get home from work, if it isn't too late (I work 12 to 14 hours a day, hence Seibertron is a nice break from a very stressful job).
The main show car I had from a few years back was a Turbocharged Lexus IS300. Looks were geared not to be crazy, but to suggest the car was fast. Car was intended to be a good looking drag cars, but new emission laws forced me to remove the engine management so I could have OBD 2 back...which killed the power. In summation, it was basically a Supra powered Lexus:

Car after that was a Subaru STi, nothing done externally, but it had upgraded suspension, breaks, engine management, turbo (48lb), and other stuff.
THen I got bored of the roughness of it since all my driving was too and from work (and the NSX is more fun), so I got another Lexus, I'll porbably modify it as well, and I am thinking of getting another Lexus (older SC300) to build a drag car.
