Debunked: No Takara Tomy Masterpiece Jazz Yet

Posted by Va'al May 25, 2017 at 2:46pm CDT 50,803 views
After the sudden reveal of MP-39 Sunstreaker from Takara Tomy Transformers, we now have a cautious rumour about an upcoming figure in the same line. Transformers fan Jun Hasui on Facebook has shared with us an image of promotional material for the upcoming Tokyo Toy Show (more info on the event here), which appears to show the silhouette of both robot and car mode for what looks decidedly very much like Jazz.

Check out the image below, let us know what you think, and stay tuned for updates as the story develops in the next couple of weeks!

UPDATE: Thanks to Italian fan Andrea Cheem Stefanelli, among others, we have confirmation that this was a modified image showing a composite teaser. Thanks for playing!

If true, notice the cartoon-accurate lack of door wings. ;)

Hmm, this will be interesting. I just hope the Martini sponsorship on him doesn't give us a repeat of the Exhaust fiasco.

For that matter I hope they don't skimp on real-world car details- I'd much rather they went the Wheeljack route of sacrificing a bit of cartoon accuracy in robot mode for the properly decorated vehicle mode.

Unlike tobacco advertising, alcohol advertising is not universally banned (because nothing goes together like drinking and driving), and Martini is still a regular sponsor in motorsport. Whether or not they have permission to replicate the Martini stripes is another matter, but it shouldn't hinder the sale of the figure in most countries.

Hope not. It would be nice to finally get an MP Jazz, but I've read a few rumors about MP figures over the years that didn't pan out.

We shall see.

Yep, it's a fake -- a composite of: the Sunbow model; the real flyer; and a photo from the MP-27 Ironhide reveal.

But eventually these rumours will be true, because it's only a matter of time until Takara makes an MP Jazz.

Yeah, look at the quality difference. Looks a lot like a photoshop.

Lol it looked so fake from the start. Didn't believe it one bit. I only would even consider it being real if they didn't use a damn cartoon model outline. Plus, it's a baby toy thing with a Masterpiece outline. That just looks ridiculous.

And yet, there are grown adults out there that even when presented with the facts, still believe it.

I mean sure, Jazz is most likely going to get the MP treatment at some point, that came out in the interview a few days ago that he intends to give the Autobot cars the MP treatment and someone just decided to whip something up for some lulz.

People really need to learn how to research and not believe the first thing they read.

I figured it was fake, but I still got my hopes up. I'm like a Bozo The Clown. MP Rumors can punch me in the face as many times as they want, but I'll still be right there on board for the next one.

I want to believe.

I just don't want to see 8 more reissues of Prime and 6 new seekers before we see Jazz.
