This is exactly how I feel. Jazz my have several movie figures and a couple of animated, but none of them fits in with Classics at all. Downshift isn't a perfect fit for Classics, but he's very close.

 

cmon wheeljack!

 

Without question wheeljack. Still don't understand everyone going apesh** for jazz. I mean don't get me wrong he is an awesome character but hes gotten good toys and good representation with wheeljack on the other hand....not so much.

 

Wheeljack.
/debate.

 

Wheeljack. Faded in obscurity when the Universe Classics came out. He needs a revival, man.

 

Wheeljack's not had a new toy since the Action Masters days... e deserves some update love.

 

Jazz and Wheeljack two pack! Love them both, but picked Jazz.

Botcon
Classics Legends
Animated
TFTM Target G1 (plus Movie, Final Battle, Allspark)

**The list gets even longer if you include other recolors/repaints

Wheeljack Toys
G1
Alternators

**Wheeljack was not repainted/recolored and his mold is gone so no reissues.

As far as canon, Jazz was a slightly more integral part of the core team but Wheeljack was the 1st and the dinobot king. You also have to take into consdieration that Wheeljack was the scientist, the nerd of the group.

 

Blitzwing has the most vote in the 1st three rounds (351 Blitzwing vs 336 Wheeljack) but Wheeljack has more votes then Blitzwing in total 336+102 and climbing.  

 

Maybe we can do a vote/poll for second and third place between Jazz and Blitzwing? Blitzwing gave Wheeljack a tougher fight in the semis than Jazz is doing in the championship.

Soundwave is clearly a distant fourth to the top three.

 

So hard to choose, but I give a slight edge to Jazz. Scatman RIP (shoutout to Chris Latta too for 'Jack, but Starscream was more his sig)

Jazz gets (and deserves) a lot of love to this day because he was/is one cool cat, but I would definitely not be dissappointed if Wheeljack got the Generations update

 

I love me some Jazz but when has Wheeljack ever got any love? Jazz got Encore, Movie and Animated. Jazz even got a G2 redeco. But what has Has/Tak donee for Wheeljack lately? So as much as they both truly deseerve the "classics" treatment I voted for WJ.

 

Voted for Jazz!

 

Voted for Jazz!

 

Wheeljack for sure!

My Favorite Mad Scientist Autobot gets my vote  

 

We should do a voyager and mega poll
