Jazz and Tracks are SO coming home with me!

The perfect G1 incarnations of both characters, if I ever saw any!

by **Rodimus723** » Wed Sep 22, 2010 8:49 pm

I wonder, could you rotate the waist for Tracks and switch around the feet? if you could, I think that would be perfect for Wheeljack.

I second both of those opinions. Too bad you or I won't see those bad boys in Ontario for a good looooong while.

I love the look of Jazz but Tracks isn't something I'll have to pick up right away. The chest is just too boxy for my tastes and covers up a good portion of his crotch. I'm not a huge fan of the wings either but I can bet my last dollar that the more pics we see of him the more I'll want him.

Jazz repaint - Ricochet / Stepper
Tracks repaint - Downshift (new head mould or else! :BLACKEYE:

)

Very cool. I'd like to see a closer picture of Jazz's headsculpt.

by **heltskelt** » Wed Sep 22, 2010 9:19 pm

Tracks has to be mistransformed! That waist would look awful and it throws off his proportions. I'm pretty sure it's supposed to telescope a little higher. I'm glad to see that Jazz's apparent wide torso was just his roof. He looks awesome.

I'd like to get Jazz just to stand him next to Animated Jazz. He's always been a favorite.

Tracks looks good for the most part, but I wish they moved his waist a bit further down. As it is, it looks like, "Dude, your crotch is showing through your windshield!"

Ooh, ooh, Jazz looks AWESOME!

Not my most profound post ever, but....

Ooh, ooh, Jazz looks AWESOME!

Damn, That Jazz looks amazing. Oh boy, I already heavily modified a Cybertron Smokescreen into him, but looks like I'll be picking him up anyway.

As for Tracks, his chest roof piece looks huge for his size. I'm thinking maybe the passenger and driver side windows might pop out or something. Still never had a Tracks aside from the alternator one, and my Neo-g1 collection wouldn't be complete without him.

These pics just made my day!

I'm totally pumped for the 2011 Generations toys!

I may get Tracks; he's lookin pretty cool
but Jazz is buy on sight

The Jazz mold looks eerily like the Human Alliance Jazz
...but I like that

Its amazing how Hasbro/TT is taking excellent 30 dollar molds and condensing them down into equally solid deluxe molds. I mean, look at Battle Blades Bee, thats probably the best deluxe Bee yet!

Here's my wish ... please give us Targetmaster Scourge with Fracas at some point!

If they did that, then we could have Targetmasters Stepper (Ricochet) and Artfire with their proper Targetmaster weapons. 4 new sets of figures out of one additional Targetmaster gun. C'mon! Someone!!! Please for the love of Primus!

Both look really nice, but where are Jazz's door wings in bot mode? Oh well, I'll still try to talk myself into buying him...or maybe even two!

Umm, the door wings are there. Look at his gun, there is a 4 between it and the shoulder. That is the door.

Tracks looks awesome! He's exactly how my childlike brain thought the G1 figure looked! ....If that makes sense.....

Jazz looks amazing, and Tracks has been growing on me lately. I can't wait to pick both of them up.

by **frogbat** » Thu Sep 23, 2010 12:40 am

oh how my wallet will weep.. at this point i'm almost looking forward to tf3 so that i can have a break from all this g1 goodness. Nah bring them on hasbro... wheeljack and blitzwing neeeexxxt please!

i must admit i was a little bit disappointed when the first pics of jazz came out but this close up makes him an instant win. He's a great version of a toy i loved as a kid - only negatives are the lack of rocket launcher (thought not featured in the toon, it did add a lot to the original g1 toy) and the chrome on his gun. I'm sure 3rd party developers will consider these opportunities.

i like tracks.. always liked tracks... the character.. the original toy.. the alternator but i never actually owned one. Now he'll be definitely part of my classics army.

Jazz...it's about time! My only complaint is that his head is too small and thin, or at least his face. It's not wide or long enough. It looks kind of smushed up. I'm hoping this isn't final.

But otherwise....FANTASTIC!

This will by far be the most new Transformers I've bought in a 12 month period since....ever!

Holy news Batman! This is better than Botcon!

This line is most impressive. Both of these figures are as good as bought. I don't know how I'm going to fit all my figures on the shelf. Too much awesome.

It doesn't get much better than this.

And actually, yeah, with those shoulder wings, I can definitely see a Wheeljack remold from Tracks. Sure, Hasbro. Bring it.

by **Prowl1529** » Thu Sep 23, 2010 3:49 am

At last Jazz is here. Those two are very welcome in my collection, besides my Optimus Prime has Prowl on his rigth and there's a space missing on his left whit the name of Jazz on it. Can wait to get them.

So much so that we'll have your babies.

And some of us don't have the equipment to do so, but we'll find a way.

Surely we're buying their babies? :-$

HalfOfMe wrote:If those wings don't fold out in vehicle mode, it's a dealbreaker. And from that image, I don't see how they would since they're attached to the front fenders, under the sideview mirrors, and with a pivot joint rather than a ball joint or hinge. Track's signature, aside from his smooth personality and dangerously good looks, is his flying car mode. Who cares about his robot-mode wings!?

They did announce that he'll have a flight mode. How close it'll resemble G1 is anyone's guess.
