As I sayd before he dosn't apeal to me, he does look good in altmode, but won't fit the bot mode.
I'de display him only in altmode.

Out of all the repaints this is the best

It's a shame they couldn't a) give him his minigun weapon and b) make him a general release figure.

Oh well. I just hope that they make a Classics Jazz so I won't feel bad missing this figure!

It does look good, but unfortunately the arms still suck.

It was on his crotch plate on his G1 and G2 versions as well (though the G2 logo might have been a little higher up, but I think it was still on the black waist piece).

Is he out yet?

This is probably the only movie repaint that I'd get.

I would love to have this figure but there are no targets in canada. or at least there are no stores in BC. it kinda sucks.

i wonder why the box has all the old figs on it?

by **Nemesis Cyberplex** » Wed Jul 18, 2007 3:16 pm

Yay G1 Jazz repaint!! Boo Target exclusive!!!

Seriously, why does target get to get all the awsome stuff & everybody else get shafted? I mean granted there are a few exceptions like the soon to be Wal-Mart masterpiece Starscream, but still.

.....of course, I wouldn't be complaining if there was a Target store within 80 mi of where I live, but alas there's not.

I know it's small and hard to read, but does the back of the card say 'after being rebuilt by Ratchet...'? That'd be cool if they incorporated that notion into the inevitable sequel. I'm sure Jazz'll stay dead, but it'd still be cool.

In fact, it does in deed look like that it says 'being rebuilt by AUTOBOT RACTHET'.

hmmm...

News Credits: 6 · by **City Commander** » Wed Jul 18, 2007 3:31 pm

During the long process of being rebuilt by AUTOBOT RATCHET, there was a lot of time to think. AUTOBOT JAZZ…
"…Just because he’s so supposed to be in disguise doesn’t mean he can’t get noticed. With help from BUMBLEBEE and AUTOBOT RATCHET, he picked this colour scheme as the one most likely to get him appreciative looks from all the humans he passes on the freeway."

I can't make out the bit in the middle, but the rest says this.

the back of the box reads:

dureing the long process of being rebuilt by Autobot Ratchet, there was a lot of time to think. Autobot Jazz digs his Earth Vehicle form, but the silver paint job gets scratched too easily, and dust sticks to it like cyberflies on old oil. Plus, it wasnt nearly eye-catching enough. Just because hes supposed to be a robot in disguise, doesnt mean he cant be noticed. With help from Bumblebee and Autobot Ratchet, he picked this color scheme as the one most likely to get him apreciative looks from the humans he passes on the freeway.

I really like movie jazz, even the weird arms but not the hands, his posability is limited but still this repaint is one i'll pick up. i find the movie transformations more interesting than say the cybertron line so even if some of the movie toys arent beautiful as such, they are fun to play with.

hmm, i think some of the fun lost with the cybertron line was that you saw their exact transformations in the cartoon in an anime-esque setting, and when you saw it, they were pretty basic. no one in that line is all too challenging or terrific one way or the other.

This is the only movie repaint I like, the others just look awful.

G1 colours + movie designs = ugly.

Yeah, that Starscream just doesn't work. Giving that mould Starscream's colours and a melted Seeker head doesn't make that guy look like the character he's named after.

For Jazz, it works, even though the figure sucks.
