Found this on TFW2005 thanks to Smokescreen GT. Check it out.

""That was something I grew up watching, so to be a part of that was exciting," said McCrary. McCrary says he was honored to be chosen as the first voice actor to take over the role of Jazz since the original voicer, venerable actor Scatman Crothers, died in 1986. "It was kind of cool because -- I know this may sound crazy -- when I was actually filming, I really did feel Scatman's presence," he said."

Good news if this is true. He was great in the movie and could do with some more character development to release his full potential.

Come on guys, don't that mean that he was beyond resuscitation?

I grudgingly front page this...

At this rate we'll have no new characters in the second movie. Why not bring back Bonecrusher, Brawl, Frenzy and Blackout too? And have them re-do everything they did in the first film. They could call it "Transformers Again"

It reminds me of all the anti-Arcee people who complained that Arcee would just take the spot of another more deserving character. So is bringing back Jazz any better? At least Arcee would replace said "more deserving character" with a new character - why do they have to fill up the on-screen cast with robots who have already been in the first film and died, aren't there enough bots in the TF Universe to choose from without having to bring back the dead ones?

As much as I hate to, I completely agree with you. I dont want to see ANY of the Transformers get revived, ressurrected, ensparkened, whatever you wanna call it.

Besides, new toys are so much better. :grin:

I see the end of Transformers 2 already:

Ratchet:"They killed Jazz again!"
Optimus:"Oh, poor Jazz... You Bastards!"

You folks ever think it might be part of a flashback?

by **Talon523** » Tue Dec 04, 2007 12:28 pm

I also hope this is untrue. We would then have a beast wars style story where, no matter how many times you get blown to bits you can get put back together. This would also subtract from the first movie as his death was meaningless (although it mostly was anyways.)

Once again, TheMuffin says something not only insightful, but what makes the most sense. I did not think of that and that is a VERY strong possiblity with the next two movies bringing us a possible glimpse of the war beaten Cybertron.

What's crackin' lil bitches?

Yey! I knew Jazz would return

News Credits: 665 · by **Skowl** » Tue Dec 04, 2007 12:44 pm

Someone should tell the filmmakers that... you know... it's just Jazz... It's not like it was Optimus Prime who died... We loved Jazz and everything, but I think we can live without him.

I liked him and everything, his movie design is great and the vehicle mode is perfect, but if we're only getting maybe three movies, can we concentrate on new characters? Jazz had his time in the sun, he was a classic enough character to deserve to make it to the big screen. He did. We got our "Movie Jazz". He died. It was sad. But let's move on, shall we...

*looks at his somewhat badly timed sig*

YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "What's crackin lil bitchs!" Jazz'z classic phrase in the film! this is brill! Jazz is back!

And let the spoilage and rumourmongering begin...

Personally, only if this is a flashback would I like to see this. Otherwise, leave the dead as dead.

But as this could be false info, I aint really paying it much attention.

But breaking news banner for this? Really? Or is it a bad joke since Jazz was breaking throughout the first movie?

Its a transformers movie alright.

First real news we've had for Transformers 2. Hence the banner.

well if bumble bee can change his form mid movie, i don't see why they cant have the technology to rebuild someone.

part of the problem is that maybe jazz is such a popular character and there was so much disappointment in how he was handled that they want to make it better. however i do agree that its going to be bad enough if they bring back one character they can bring back them all and they can never die. with such an expansive universe of characters you would think that maybe they could try some new characters. if star wars is any indication of things to come, i suspect prime will die by the end of the second movie. but really once a character is killed off, let them stay dead unless its needed to progress the story/alternate time line.

by **Thyunda** » Tue Dec 04, 2007 12:53 pm

It is logical. They could use the last part of the Allspark to give him back.
Plus, they only killed Jazz because he was the third most likeable character, after Bumblebee and Optimus, so they might actually bring him back.
And just because they ressurect a single Autobot doesn't mean there's no room for new characters. Honestly, there isn't exactly a population cap, is there?

Exactly. It's information regarding who may appear in Transformers 2. I think that's news people would want to hear about.
