If so, can you please scan me a good pic of Protoform Jazz? I would appreciate it greatly

He doesn't appear in it.

Oh darn. Well is there any real pic of a protoform Jazz anywhere? Except the 2 second clip in the movie?

Maybe in the UK comic.

Hrrrm, the designs in that aren't all that good. It's very simplified & looks much more childish. I haven't got any of them but I've had a look in stores & the protoforms really look nothing like you'd expect. (In my opinion)

Click the link for some scans from Titan UK Magazine #2, Art by Nick Roche.



These drawings are all pretty small on the page, that's as good a look as we get at protoform Jazz.

Have you seen issue 2? The art is the same level we're getting in the IDW comics.

Issue 1 was something of a rocky start. Geoff Senior's a legendary artist from the old Marvel UK days, but my feeling is that the movie designs aren't really suited for his approach. On top of that the gradient heavy photoshop colouring in that issue wasn't the most flattering. Apparently Geoff wanted to do the colours himself, but the schedule wouldn't allow for it.

He posted some images of his own colouring of that first story, and it has a totally different feel. It melds much better stylistically, and makes for quite a different overall aesthetic for transformers to both his old stuff and the current IDW stuff.

My main gripe with the new comic is that it's monthly, where the old UK comic was weekly, but original material isn't any longer.
