Well I'll be damned... dunno how I missed that. My bad!

No worries man and I am very thankful that you are always on the lookout for new stuff we could news

Oy vey.

G1 fans should be extatic since its a movie toy homaging G1 Hot Rod

Well yes, because plenty of us have object permanence

For real though, I'm one of the ones whom this bothers, and it's because even though I probably won't see it most of the time I'll still know it's there. It's a silly thing to have bother me, but I can't change the fact that it does, frustratingly. I want my plastic toys of giant robots to be realistic representations, dammit!

Yeesh! And to think people were groaning about Takara creating a "gappy chest" when they retooled Legends Targetmaster Hot Rod to have a more G1 chest. They actually made the figure even more G1 than anyone appreciated, lol!

Let's have a look at these then.

Voyager Brawl.

You are correct and I mistyped, edited!

Yeah Jazz should have bigger feet but due to the transformation (the feet end up pointing straight down in car mode) there really isn't any clearance room for them to have been bigger.

Don't think Lockdown can do head cannon cos his weapons here are a hook and a sword. But if anyone knows different then feel free to share.

Car modes are nice and shiny. Weapons have places to attach but as usual look a lil silly. Jazz is one of the smallest Deluxe cars ever made I reckon. I'll need some time to play with them some more before I make my final decision as to how much I like them but they're pretty cool so far.

ZeroWolf wrote:Thanks for sharing your thoughts a shame about the gun head but I still really like the look of him and his alt mode.

Yeah I think he's an big improvement on the older toy despite lack of masked head and gun attachment for it. Maybe there will be third party accessories made like a lot of other figures get.


Jazz may be small but he's very cool. I get reminded of an old school spaceman character sorta thing for some reason with all the curves, silver, visor and the gun.


Even though he's so small and that I paid £29.99 each for him and Lockdown (when they are now in some branches of Forbidden Planet at their correct RRP £22.99) I don't feel all that bad about having spent too much. Lockdown's cool and got loads of detail, and Jazz is a charming shiny lil dude.

You know, looking at that shot of Brawl in the news post's thumbnail from a distance, it dawned on me that that SS Brawl's silhouette kinda reminds me of that of G1 Bruticus. Triangular-ish torso, thick chunky lower legs, twin back-mounted cannons pointing upward, heavily armed arms (kinda like Ruination's two big combined gun weapons). All he really needs is a more Bruticus-ish head and colors and he'd made a pretty decent non-Combiner Movieverse Bruticus (funky-colored tank mode notwithstanding).

Just a couple pics for funsies and if you folk want to see comparisons and such.

Lockdown Vs Bumblebee (cos I follow Mark Ryan on Twitter, not just for Transformers but cos the ol' Robin of Sherwood show he was in from the 80's is one of my all time faves). Lockdown has a ton of really nice detail. The upper arms are a tad confusing cos they seem to be transformed differently in various stock photos and not 100% sure which is correct (I should probably just look at the instructions but I have fun transforming these without and both Jazz and Lockdown are very easy to change into cars and back). Also Lockdown has a chest piece you have to push out a bit from within the back to make his front a lil less flat. I didn't notice that when I first took photos but I got it now (makes a satisfying click sound too). Lockdown's face sculpt is superb. I did pose him with TLK Optimus Prime (to re-enact battle from end of AoE) and he's a bit short for that but eh it'll do fine for the cheapest option other than huge third party figures like Peru Kill and such.



Jazz and Grimlock. Just having fun posing the smallest figure in the line with the largest. Technically Grimlock should be even bigger than he is but whatcha gonna do... Jazz is tiny (as is accurate to the movie scale) but I'm finding him so much fun.
