Jazz:

In his Pontiac Solstice mode, he looks rather decent, though not nearly as flashy as the G1 Jazz. The plastic silver-gray makes him look somewhat bland. The plastic wheels are alright, but the rear ones seem to like being "pidgeon-toed", but it is not that noticeable unless you look at it from underneath.

7/10

In Robot mode, he looks better in real life than in pictures and YouTube videos. Kind of stalky, but he looks a lot like the original Jazz build, which I rather like. I love the detail in his legs, and he looks rather good. Easy to stand. His arms are...odd. However, they're not too bad either. They could have done better though.

8/10

Transformation is relatively easy, but the instructions suck at explaining how to form his arms and shoulders. It does not say that the shoulders extend outward to clear his chest, which gave me some problems at first. Otherwise, he's rather pleasing to transform. Automorph works pretty well in this figure. Subtle, but there.

9/10

Bumblebee:

In '74 Camaro mode, he actually looks pretty sweet. Oddly smaller than Jazz (he really should be bigger!), hopefully the 2008 Camaro BB will be larger! Nice details, looks rather nice. Dual missile launchers are stowed under him that also form his dual exhausts.

7.5/10

In Robot mode he looks really nice. Kind of scrawny compared to his more buff and brawny Autobot friends, but still rater nice. I got some nice poses out of him. I past him up a few times already, but I am glad I finally decided to get him.

8.5/10

Transformation was rather nice. Not too hard and not too easy. Just right. Kind of fun, actually. The automorth works really well on mine. And the push-button action works well too for automorph #2. I wish the windows were clear or translucent, but oh well.

9/10

Hope ya'll liked my review. I'd get both of these guys. Also get the later classic colors Jazz (final battle?) and the 2008 Camaro BB since he looks sooo much nicer.
