There is another thing to consider which is that mould is also Blitzwing and Blitzwing is sometimes associated as a Flywheels colourscheme.
I'd be happy with a Nightbeat if he shared a body with Jazz. But I would guess they might be saving Jazz for 2018's new gimmic line.
I guess they could design a Jazz that has Titanmaster ability and also not- and make Nightbeat as the titanmaster version (in advance as a pre-paint) and then with some tweaks release it as Jazz perhaps as a Targetmaster instead. It might work out well as it would mean Jazz could still carry a driver if designed that way (unless that is where his head would end up).
The only time Blitzwing ever had Flywheels' colour scheme was in the Platinum G1 re-release set alongside Astrotrain, where both were clearly wearing colours that were not their norm. In any case TR Blitzwing as shown at Toyfair has a very different colour scheme to Flywheels so it would very easily work.
Why should Nightbeat and Jazz share a body...? The only time the two have ever been connected as such is when Nightbeat was going to be a recolour of Jazz in Thrilling 30 before they went with the Bumblebee mold instead. Which is good because while that mold still doesn't work for Nightbeat, it works a heck of a lot better for him than Jazz - the two characters have wildly different physical characteristics and silhouettes so making the two share a mold just wouldn't work at all.
