Studio Series Jazz rear wing

Still on my Studio Series modding streak, I have something for wee little Jazz.

I wanted to put the rear wing and taillights on his upper back, as he seems to have them in the movie. So I shaved the tabs on the underside of the roof kibble that hold the rear body on, the wing and taillights. I didn’t want to risk damaging the painted translucent plastic by pulling that pin; this way, the rear wing part will still pop back on for alt mode.

Besides, you need the pin to stay in the silver body part with the wing for the next step. This is a beautiful coincidence- the space that Jazz’s head folds down into is the precisely perfect width to hold the rear wing part in place by its pin. For best results, you need to shave down the underside of the arm sticking out of the rear wing part. Trial and error will let you lower the wing so it doesn’t stick up do far, and it’s still held snugly in place by the pin.

He still has his his backpack, but I think moving that rear wing onto his upper back thins out the backpack, and gives a bit of screen accuracy. You could remove the backpack, as I did with Lockdown, but Jazz’s is pretty lightweight.

Yay!

Like I said on the Studio Series thread i actually found your TFW2005 version of this thread from googling Studio Series mods and somehow didn't see this one (I should browse the custom sections more often) and thanks very much for the inspiration. I'm not so good at the actual cutting mods (and i need better tools than an old scalpel) but I think mine turned out nicely too. And as you mentioned in the other thread, painting the 'arm' black might look good too and probably would further help my rough cutting too. :) Anyways I like this mod a lot cos I love Studio Series Jazz but also missed seeing the spoiler in robot mode like on previous toys and the cgi and ok it becomes a bit partsformery but sometimes just gotta compromise and the piece still clips in securely in it's original place in both modes too so it's nice having the option now. :)

Thanks again. :)
I have anxiety, depression and aspergers syndrome so my behaviour can be erratic. I don't mean offense to anyone. Just very picky about my Transformers collecting. You're all cool! :)

Likes: Bayverse, Marvel UK G1, Geoff Senior art, '86 movie (more for style/soundtrack rather than Star Wars plot)
Dislikes: Bumblebee movie (lousy rehashed dumb crud), TFA, G1 cartoon, IDW G1, BW/BM, MP. The entire concept of Autobot Megatron
