TFW 2005- For those who have been reading IDW's movie prequel comic, DEFIANCE, this toy repaint comes to you as no surprise.

Genzhao has posted images of a new repaint of the movie deluxe Jazz toy in colors reminiscent of Generation 1 Smokescreen. While this character made his way to the first movie's lineup as a Fast Action Battler repaint of Jazz, there was never a repaint of the deluxe toy (too many already at that time maybe?).

Well, since the character that that particular mold represented will not be making a return to the screen in the sequel (at least that we know of), the mold can now be brought back and used as the Autobot's famed Diversionary Tactician, Smokescreen, who has been amongst the lead characters in the Transformers ROTF Prequel Comic 'Defiance'.

Below you can see some of the images, but the original thread has even more pictures (sorry no robot mode yet).

The thread's title excited me, the pictures didn't. I leave this thread dissapointed.

Sorry, they can't all be winners.

Could at least one of them be a winner?

How about this? I am quite fond of it.

I like the conceptual aspect of what has been done here. I think possibly the parts were handled too soon after paint appl. and some areas could have used another light coat before it was all done but otherwise, I think it was an awsome shot on a really great idea.
(It's hard for me to not over-analyze work like this since I have done painting/finish work for 15 years.)

I'm also liking the Sideswipe re-paint. Thanks for linking to that one, Tigertracks.

Now we just need the rest of the G1 worshipping, Movie-toy hating crew to attack and bad-mouth these pics. like the rabid hyenas that they are, spewing derisive, base-less negativity in the face of one with more effort and creativity than they could ever have a hope in hell of posessing, and we can call it a day.

Meh. He's looks like a good figure. I think the only reason people are so gaga over him is because compared to the rest of the crappy line, he looks like the best thing since MP Prime. It's like standing an average-looking person next to a really ugly person. Beauty by comparison.

i just wish i liked the Movie Jazz figure more. That figure is/was a big disappointment for me.

That figure sucked, still sucks, will forever suck. Doesn't matter what they paint it like/with, it's teh suckage, a slice of suckorama, infested with suck, suckarific, ripe with suckitosis, its the suckiest suck that ever sucked.

Ergo, pass.

I concur. "Blech" comes to mind.

I totally agree. I obviously haven't seen the new bot mode yet but it's pretty sad when the Fast Action Battler version actually seems cooler.

yuck i was hoping for some thing good. the colors make me sick.

Good gravy, who didn't see this coming? Especially with him showing up so much in Defiance.

I love repaints of characters I like!!!!

I wonder if this is a test shot, cuz the paint looks way too fresh. Almost like a custom.

I loved the Movie Jazz mold, and I like these colors. Will get.

Auctions... He has 5 of them. It seems unlikely that they would all be test shots.

Honestly, I like the redeco.

Of course if any of the aforementioned types (from my earlier post) had read my post, the condition/appearance of the figure might have been explained a bit better to you folks. Sorry that's such a stretch for people but at least I wasn't dissapointed by everyones behavior...

yawn another repaint. well if i had not read the comics this figure might suck that much more.

p.s. i hate repaints.

I like many of the movie figures.

I vaguely kinda sorta like the Jazz mold.

I do not like that repaint.

So there.

DO NOT WANT!!!

Yeah like the res of you i was excited when i read the title now im just sad. How the hell is that Smokescreen? Oh wait its bayformers thats right never mind. Its a cool color scheme thats worth a renaming so i might get it. Id like to see if theres any remolds. If it comes with the premium weapon then ill get it since i never got that version. Ill wait and see. As of now its a maybe.

Jazz wasn't that great of a mold to begin with...Then again, I've never cared about Bluestreak anyway...

Yeah, not getting it...

I like the 2007 G1 repaint but this looks terrible colors suck

Looks like they hired a blind monkey to paint this thing.

A repaint!?
Not a very good one either but still ANOTHER FREAKIN' REPAINT!
Both the previous movie line and (by the looks of things) the ROTF toyline aren't even trying anymore. They only release around 10-15 new molds and then repaint them all in different schemes and sometimes even retool them a little to pose them as either G1 repaints of themselves or as other characters.

THEN the movie line decided to take previous molds from other toylines and, you guessed it, repaint them aswell. A good move in general for those that didn't get the opportunity to buy that specific mold, but I fail to count it as new as all it is, is a repaint.

From what i've seen the Constructicons are a big let down, Megatron is passable, Optimus looks ok but needs a gun, Jetfire is hideous and probably the only new figure I am looking for to is The Fallen himself
*sigh* and they are cancelling Animated for THIS
