A non-evil human.
This fact isn't really that important here, but wasn't Jazz tricked or it was a mistake? I'm just curuous; I have quite a bit of back reading that I want to do.
It was a heat of the moment thing that had Jazz in a frustrated scenario in which he lost his cool and didn't think before gunning the guy down.
Jazz regretted his rash action, but was still removed from active duty and denied any release into the field afterward.
Harsh indictment on the horrors that a lifetime of ceaseless war can inflict on even the most positive of individuals or pulled-from-arse, "edgy" out-of-character moment during an already poorly-scripted era of the comic? YOU DECIDE.
But anyway, yeah, "courage" is a very weird adjective to ascribe to Menasor. Particularly since he's one-fifth Breakdown. But then "courage" is a really weird trait to emphasize for giant gestalt robots anyway. Bravery is not exactly an issue when one is multiple times the size of one's foes.
I would think it would be easier to have courage with a group of four other soldiers then alone. It didn't set well with me, but especially with Menasor. But outside of that, fantastic artwork. I like it a lot. I may have to see if the resolution will fit my phone's screen.

It was a heat of the moment thing, but in all fairness the cop was about to shoot Bumblebee with a Megatron-derived weapon. Jazz had to choose between either allowing the human to take the shot or killing him and made a split second decision. He chose what he thought was the better of two bad choices.

Right, but what he didn't realize in all that tension was that Bumblebee was getting through to that cop, convincing him not to shoot. And everyone was yelling at Jazz to stop, but, well, see Diem's post.

Good point, Jazz is still cool in my book.
This would carry more weight with me if "Really good at improvising" and "loves humankind" weren't literally Jazz' two biggest personality traits.

Well I'm really good at understanding people but I still mess up every now and then. Jazz messed up, to ably affected him worse because of those traits.
I have been into transformers since 1984. While I love G1 I also love new innovations and takes on the characters. I prefer official Hasbro releases of stuff for the most part I'm not a huge fan of Japanese original Transformers media or designs. It's easier for me to say which are my LEAST favorite toy lines: Beast Machines, Robots in Disguise. TFCon List: Classics Skywarp, General Optimus, BW Airrazor, Transmetal Tarantulus, Alternity Prime, Fire Convoy

Yeah, Jazz was trying to protect Bumblebee, even though Bumblebee was taking care of it, I have made the same sort of mistake too. On a smaller scale of course lol.

You hurt me.
Why? Both are technically interrelated. So who's the white Prime mold this time? What'd be the back story on the box? Legit issues no?
I've always had a feeling that the white Prime doesn't really exist and is just a swerve by Hasbro to keep the surprise of the 1984 combiner. "Ya know that Prime from Wave 1? Here's what it's really for!"
Those posters look really good, Superion is my new wall paper on my phone, just wish Hasbro would put these on their site in different scales.
Just realized. I ordered some guys from HTS on Fri. They are to ship "the next business day". Tuesday's the next business day. Today is a holiday.
I totally forgot today was a holiday too. I'm waiting on the rest of wave 3, thundercracker and slingshot/wildrider. Hopefully I get them by tthe end of the week, I'm very impatient

I pointed that out in the review!
There are some fantastic expressions for all the characters, from IDW's own to the Japanese G1 loans, and the Super Sentai UFOmaru inspired Nickel that add to this strangely contrasting issue, along with all the gore and terror and house chores.
Motto:"The only good is knowledge, and the only evil is ignorance."
To be exact Shuriken Sentai Ninninger. Those are Candy Toys for all intents and purposes, with mecha transforming into the line's main gimmick (in this case, Nin Shuriken). Very similar to RiD Mini-Cons coincidentally.
And no, the end of the video clarifies they do not combine with MiniPla Shurikenjin (to their chagrin).
The resident Rewind... well, half of one
- Jelze Bunnycat =:3
Looking for: - TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him ) - PotP Punch head - TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one) - CW Brake-Neck/UW Wildrider, CW Offroad - TR Twinferno & Grotusque - Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1 - Legacy Core Slug, Sludge & Snarl
