    They work imo, but not on that silver. They'd look better on the black Convoy, but then it wouldn't be Jazz, or a white repaint, but not the silver.

    I really like this but I have to agree with others. The decals don't work. I would use a different design. The layout looks good though.

    JUST STICK TO THE G1 STICKERS! Please for the love of god don't try to be original the head is ugly and the stickers are even worse. This figure would be awesome for jazz but you have to learn people love jazz as his g1 mode that he has basically kept even till today (slight upgrade but basically the same) you need to sell what works not what you THINK will work!

    Oy, quite a bit of angst in this thread. o.o;

    I'll also remark that the design's not doing much for me as Jazz, but I kind of get a Camshaft vibe off of it.

    settle....if everyone always played it safe we'd have the exact same stuff as 20 years ago, pushing the envelope is how things advance.

    I think this set totally works for Jazz, the stickers for the face really help sell it to me, although he needs to be white for it to really work.

    I don't care about what a lot of people are saying about this sticker set, i think they work really well for a movie style Jazz with the sweet twist of the equalizer decals. I don't think it is quite what i would have done but then again I wouldn't have thought of a conversion set like this in the first place. It's like you are mixing together G1 with a dash of strange new G2 stickers and movie Jazz for an overall pretty freaking sweet update on our favorite automotive audiophile. They really shoud have made him Jazz to start with. Optimus is a truck not a Japanese sports coup (although he can also be a munky/gorilla if he is named Primal and not Prime). Any kind of truck would fit Prime better than a sports car. You guys at Reprolables are going to make me actually brake down and buy the alternity figures if you keep making such awesome sticker conversion sets like this one and the Megs to BW Megs one.

    Awesome! This set actually made me finally break down and get the Alternity silver! Went so far as to get the blue one to turn into BW Megatron while I was at it.

    What are the odds of getting a BW Optimus Primal set for the Nemesis Prime black Alternity?

    Certainly gives off a G2 vibe. I really like it!

    I might bite now that there is a white version coming out. Love me some Jazz. Any chance you'll do a more G1/Classics looking sticker set for the white one coming out or is this the final/only version for ALTY Jazz?

    What's the point of doing something like this where you're trying to make it look like a certain character if you're just going to "push the envelope" and change what he looks like anyway?

    I don't get some of these complaints. Why would you put Porsche stickers on a Nissan?

    Quick bump to maybe get some more interest in a version for the Ultra Magnus repaint that I just picked up and to answer my previous question
