I think there's enough Jazz around to warrant a solid Top Five list.
That could be interesting. I wonder if Takara's RID would have a shot at it. What are your top 5?
All universes and toys combined?
#5) G1 Jazz. Pretty ahead of it's time, the transformation is fairly complex and he just look amazing in all modes.
#4) RTS Jazz. It have been the "Definitive Jazz" in deluxe scale for a long time. It's flawed, yes, but it's still full of play features and have a solid bot mode.
#3) Animated Jazz. This is a fantastic update on the classic design. Cool, bold, and just amazing. Plus his altmode is a cartoony "Porsche" so it's near perfection.
#2) MPM Jazz. For a long time, the very good HFTD HA Jazz was a "MP" Jazz by default. But then, the MPM came out and made that previous great mold completely irrelevant. Screen accurate to a ridiculous degree, this is a marvel of engineering that is a great achievement.
#1) SS '86 Jazz. At deluxe scale, for a deluxe price, we got a literal "Mini Masterpiece." The paintwork is perfect, the bot is pretty toon accurate, the backpack is practically nonexistent, the car is close enough to the Porsche original, plus the transformation is intuitive and easy. I honestly think that if Takara bother to finally make a MP G1 Jazz, it will still have a hard time to top this perfect toy.
Honorable mention: SS '07 Jazz. This one have also marvelous engineering, but it's ridiculously small and he have a still heavy backpack. But if the MPM didn't exist, he would have been ranked at #2 in it's place.
