This exclusive was created specifically for the CybCon 2005 Convention by Dave "Zobovor" Edwards. The box artwork was illustrated by Allen "Superquad7" Greenwood. It was limited to 15 units at the convention available for attendees and less than 30 were produced total. The CybCon Jazz shares the same size and transformation as the G1 minibots Bumblebee and Cliffjumper.


JAZZ
ALLEGIANCE: AUTOBOT
FUNCTION: SPECIAL OPERATIONS AGENT
FIRST APPEARANCE: TRANSFORMERS #1 (MARVEL) / "MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE" PART 1

"Do it with style or don't bother doing it at all."

Profile: Jazz loves alien cultures and is always looking to learn more about those outside of Cybertron. His extensive knowledge in this area and ease at adapting to alien environments makes him indispensable as Optimus Prime's right-hand man. Always remains calm, cool, and collected, Jazz always accepts the most dangerous missions as he likes the challenge. He is often referred to a danger-loving daredevil with a bottomless bag of tricks. Jazz would rather dazzle you with his style and finesse than complete a mission the easy way.

Abilities: In robot mode, Jazz's weapon of choice is his photon rifle, which he wields with amazing accuracy. He also has an overhead flamethrower he can use, but rarely does so as he feels it's not nearly as "civilized" as his rifle. Jazz also possesses a full-spectrum beacon in his front grill and a high-powered speaker system which he uses to create disorienting sound and lights shows to confuse his enemies. He also makes occasional use of a rocket-powered skateboard that doubles as destabilizer cannon. In vehicle form, Jazz can reach incredible speeds, second only to Blurr. He can use his beacon and speakers in this form as well.

Weaknesses: Jazz can be distracted from his assignment if he encounters some new, alien behavior patterns that he finds interesting. This can sometimes lead to driving off a cliff to getting blasted by a Decepticon Skyraider.
