One really can't tell another person what they should or shouldn't be offended by seeing how people appear to have a wide variety of levels of what the are willing to tolerate in behavior in other people.

And the irony of the robot chosen for this particular prank can't be just ignored either. Whoever the designer was who did this, clearly knew exactly what they were doing in their attempt to be clever. This should cost that designer his job, because it's going to cost Hasbro one way or another either in bad publicity (which it's getting now), to production cost if they decide to recall their Jazzes, or in the cost of having to do a second run wave and have the decos changed, because there's no way, now that they've acknowledged it is what it is, they are going to be able to just produce more without taking action.

Not sure what you'd do with the legs in jet mode, but in robot mode you've got the cockpit and some Combiner Wars intakes on his upper shoulders. Plus Swoop's head looks very similar (not exact) to Starscream's if you take away his headfin. It even has the side intakes on his head!

The legs are able to fold like Rook, so a seeker retool is in no way out of the question. cough Takara cough

And here I thought Swoop is being retooled into Cutthroat and Wildfly. Silly me...

I hope that whoever did that to Jazz gets fired. To put that sort of slogan on a character that is traditionally voiced by an African American is all sorts of messed up.

There were many African Americans who voted for Trump and wear MAGA hats. For all we know, Scatman Crothers could have been one of those people if he were alive today. Nothing in politics is ever that black and white (no pun intended).

Nah, man. Nah. >:oP

You know, I've always found there's nothing stronger when making a point you want others to follow than by starting it off with a grade school level insult. It literally makes everything you write afterwards an automatic TLDR and shows the lack of creativity in your ability to create insults. Like diecast, witty remarks is a fine yet lost art.

I'm not wanting to be a backseat moderator or anything, but as someone that keeps coming into this topic thinking the updates might actually be about PotP figure, I'll just leave this quote here.

Shut the **** up!

Stop trying to use this forum to support Trumpism. Take your **** away and never come back. This is about toys, and toys only. If I want to hear about your poopy politics, I'll watch tv.

by **President-prime** » Sat Nov 18, 2017 1:36 am

And Seibertron. You're not helping. Your pucture only supports his notion of politics.

by **President-prime** » Sat Nov 18, 2017 1:40 am

Seriously guys. I'm already tired of reading and watching poopy polictics of republican versus republicans and democrats versus democrats. Let me enjoy my transformers. It's the only sane things in this world. Leave politics out if this.

Why should we expect anything different from his high and mightiness? :lol:

I wouldn't be the least surprised if it turns out that Starscream has all the power in this form as well.

I would totally take a Skywarp repaint of this with a movie-style starscream head for the combined mode

I have a feeling Hasbro may not be too eager to do another Skywarp right now, after the Combiner Wars one is still warming shelves two toy lines later. For some reason, Skywarps are rarely good sellers. On a side note, I appreciate some good old fashioned fan service as much as the next person, but after many nods to Starscream's crown in recent years, I feel it's becoming a bit too cliche.

Seriously? Skywarp is awesome! And so pretty...

Once again, seriously? A). This is his site. B). You could really get banned (I would think) for that level of disrespect. C). No one actually cares. It's the internet. Plus, you could choose to ignore it.

Wheres Burn when you actually need him? Lol

Seibertron is fair. He knows what I'm talking about. If he bans me from this site, I have no remorse. Why should I? For expressing my views that, instead of moderating, shows a picture of "all white trump supporters?"

How about Starscream's Torso Mode? Actually looks better than expected upon first glance, but the wide body really works against his female pretool Elita-1:

Other than that, could do without the stickers, but no biggie.

I think if there's something you can do with those "fore-fins" it wouldn't look so bad for a female silhouette. But *with* them there... I agree... it's just kind of boxy and strange. Sets her head too far back/nested.

News Credits: 2 · by **SpikeyTigertron** » Sat Nov 18, 2017 2:29 am

Maybe if they could fold-in flat against the rest of the wing?

News Credits: 2 · by **SpikeyTigertron** » Sat Nov 18, 2017 2:30 am

Also, those complaining about Volcanicus' combined form. We've seen that the dino head lays flat yes?

News Credits: 19 · by **Carnivius_Prime** » Sat Nov 18, 2017 2:54 am

I'm more offended that the Jazz toy just looks crappy with a dull car mode, boring robot form and hollow arms with hand holes blocked on the bottom by kibble (that's one of my pet hates in TF toys along with jet wings blatantly just protruding out of robot mode and almost all cases of eye light-piping)

I'm still temtped to pick up a Swoop if I see him but with no plans to combine him with anything (not even the other dinobots, Hasbro crazy if they think I'm spending money on that Grimlock..and the combined mode looks crummy anyways). But from what I gather, the Predacons are all gonna be Voyager? So Divebomb is gonna tower over Swoop when I wanted them basically the same size to reflect their Marvel UK rivalry on my shelf. tsk...

Agamemnon wrote:*chuckle* This Jazz thing kinda reminds me of things like the frames on the TV in an apartment in one of those Disney Movies or the unfortunately shaped tower on the original Little Mermaid VHS cover or the "SFX" appearing in the dust from the Lion King....wait, was the vendor Hasbro was talking about Disney? O_o

I did see Darkwing at a Target on the West side of the Twin Cities in MN this week.

Wait...Darkwing?

It's a friggin' Disney Conspiracy...THAT's what it IS!!

smh i kept remembering Darkwing duck rather than the TF Darkwing much. :lol:

It doesn't look like they can be moved much, they don't seem to be able to bend any more than they already are.

And the head isn't really that far back, they're lined up with the shoulders, it's just that there's so much on the chest.

One thing I do like is Abominus next to the other two looks like he might have longer legs and torso (hard to tell for sure being all out of scale) which might make him a little taller than some of the other combiners.
