    My first thought when I see this guy is that he resembles a Porsche Carrera GT from the front, I can't wait for this guy he's gonna be the first one I pick up whenever I see him. He doesn't really look that bad.

    Can't wait for him, Shockwave and Prime to show up from BBTS.

    Jazz is one of my all-time favorite characters, and he's my favorite in Escalation mode in WfC. So I'm definitely getting this.

    But the blue seems awfully bright. Is it screen-accurate? I may be forced to repaint his head, at the very least, to a darker blue or even black....

    Maybe he'll grow on me. Currently strikes me as a surprisingly ugly interpretation of a very cool design in the game.

    Although I do have to admit Prime is starting to grow on me (which really surprises me).

    Why do these figures keep shrinking... They shrink while the prices go up. Nice.

    I'm a little bit disappointed by Jazz. Not for the same reasons as everybody else, though.
    Don't get me wrong, I like it, but there's something about him that I don't like. I really don't like how the arms have the tires sticking out of the top, it makes him look like he has flab hanging off his arms. I also don't like how his head is so sunk into his chest. But I'm still going to pick him up nonetheless.
    But I'll probably go in the order of Optimus > Shockwave > Jazz.
    I also don't like his tiny shoulders.

    YES! I absolutely LOVE Optimus. At first I was worried I'd be disappointed, but now I LOVE him.

    I couldn't belive I was the only one that wanted to incorporate him into classics and saw a decent classic Searchlight in this, apparently I wasn't :) 

    I might paint his visor yellow. Maybe I'll try to make some sort of rack with lights on it to fit in that peg-hole on the top of the car mode.

    Wonder if the 3rd party companies are gonna hit us with a Searchlight head.


    I think this looks great as Jazz, and it'd be great as Searchlight. I'm also thinking that the only reason I'm gonna get Optimus is to get the head from an Ultra Magnus and make Powered Convoy.

    I received one yesterday, I despised it. Today it has grown on me. It looks better because I mistransformed it; tabbed the top edges of his chest/bonnet into the grooves on the sides of his back panel. This makes his head sit higher. Also pegged some of DOTM Topspin's mini guns into the holes in Jazz's forearm panels.

    Hmm. Seems like a pretty good figure. Seems a little top-heavy, but it's not too bad.

    I can dig it, though I have 2 turn-offs (and not for any reason anyone else has mentioned, either):

    1) He has a really bad case of what a certain YouTube reviewer would call "Visible Hands Syndrome". Them hands are an eyesore.

    2) His feet are cheats. Since they don't need to follow a standard Earth car design, couldn't they have worked them into the vehicle design somehow? The wheel feet are not novel, cool, or iconic enough to justify cheating to get them.

    Not sure if I'd get this or Animated Jazz to be the Cyberton Jazz.

    It sucks that he's so small. Especially next to Classics Jazz.

    I'm a huge Jazz fan, and this is one of my fav versions of Jazz...but the toy is just so...disappointing. Especially after the RtS one. I love Jazz a lot, but this toy...makes me feel a bit crushed. Maybe I can find someone who can do a good job fixing it up...tho nothing can probably save those chicken legs and fake wheels, but can at least fix that paint job.
