Silverstreak is cool too. :)

I have the original TFA Deluxe Jazz, which I adore for the design and g1 colour scheme. The repaint, though, has a slick look inspired by the live action movie version. I plan on having both in my collection. :D

Me too, except my TFA Jazz was the on the receiving end of bad paint application, hopefully this Highway Jazz with his silver paint won't end up like one.

Man, bad paint apps suck! Especially on TFA figures because flaws show up particularly well with the simplified nature of the designs.

Aye, I can't count how many times I wanted to repaint it, but then the thought of I'll prob mess up even more stopped me.

It's visors (seems like its always the face?) and the mid-section of its body. Which sux, bc you can't see those w/o opening the package and transforming him.

D'oh! Yeah, those are the worst. Alt mode looks fine but anything hidden...

Yea, that's the bad part, you think you got a pretty good figure within the package. Then you get home, find out it has 2 right thighs or bad paint apps. :MAD:

Yeah, that's for sure!

I didn't notice this until now but the repaint of Rollbar makes him look like a caped superhero. Up, up, and away!

Yeah, me too. Rollbar's repaint appears to be an Autobot and Depthcharge's is a Decepticon. I missed out on DC so I may have to get the repaint.

Even if you didn't miss out on Depthcharge, you have to get him. He's a black battleship. B-)

And the all black body with red "windows" reminds me of K.I.T.T. from Knight Rider. Red and black is on the attack!

Knight Rider is getting remade. Red is always faster.

The more I look at the Rollbar repaint, the more I like it. I have Rollbar posed with his fists on his hips and his head turned slightly. With the shell kibble and his pose, he looks like a superhero. Once I get the repaint, they'll be a superhero robot duo!

I also find it interesting that Breakdown's design is similar to Sideswipe's in using the rear/trunk area as the torso in bot mode.

Darn! I can't watch the video since I reside outside of the U.S.! I remember the parody, I think, hehe.

Wow, that Jazz looks great. Interesting that they seem to have done a Movie Jazz homage. I like the reversal. Although, they could've remolded the head and made it Silverstreak. That would've been truly awesome.
