New Review And Pictures of Transformers Animated Jazz

CybPh would like to share this review of the Animated Jazz by our very own Alex

It has been posted in our Multiply Site and in our Messageboards.


The cool Autobot master of circuit-su, Jazz graces us in toy form as a sleek white sports coupe.


Alt Mode:

Complete with his classic red, white and blue stripes; Jazz also sports an Autobot Elite Guard logo just above his front fender. The Alt mode is very nicely detailed with clear front headlights. He actually reminds me of a classic Jaguar coupe the way the car just curves. The rims are beautiful old-school spokes and the rear tail/ brake lights give off some more of that classic car charm.


Bot Mode:

Transforming Jazz is pretty simple. The doors become his arms and the trunk unfolds to become his legs. Once that's over with we get one lean streamlined bot in the classic G1 "car front end becomes chest" style.

Looking closely at his head we can see that he's made to look as if he's got a beret on together with his headphones and soul patch. Very nicely sculpted. The visor he's got actually allows lightpiping but the extruding bonnet behind his head blocks out some light.

Accessories? Only a couple. The exhaust pipes on his doors/ forearms detach to become his nun-chucks. They're connected via string and slide into Jazz's fists. Pretty sweet.

Poseability? Jazz has around 20 pts of articulation including double hinged elbows and rotating thighs so you can pretty much do anythin with him. He can stand on one leg too though its a bit tough balancing him.

Overall one of the best deluxe sized TF's to ever come out. Plus he sorta resembles me....

Jazz gets a 5/5

Do Want.

Jazz looks like a gemmer. Can't wait for it.

A gem in a pile of gems.

Solid.

Haha... that last picture is awesome.

Looks pretty good!

Gimme...

Can't wait to get mine in the mail!

he looks so awesome! can't wait for him to be released!

Man, sleek, but built. He is very stylistic and is probably the best Jazz we ever got. (now to decide if he's better than G1 Jazz)

That vehicle mode is gorgeous.

Jazz...still a b-boy...solid!!!

WOW....this series can do no wrong

Wants. Nao.

Jazz has some pizazz,

shame the movie toys didn't have that kind of articulation, so far it looks like animated has the characterisation and articulation.

Holy balls! Cancel Transformers 2 and let Animated go on forever!

looks too good to pass up

I agree.

nice scoop fellow SEAer. didnt get soundwave too?

Yup! We did. We'll be posting the review here as well

God why isn't this out now? I want Animated, especially Jazz.

i want one. why are these not in stores yet? hasbro should've released these by now, the first two seasons are almost done

I like it. It´s a pretty cool representation. So far all animated stuff it´s cool.

whoa, pretty cool. So it was released on the Philipines? I hope Brazil gets it soon.

EDIT: (weird double post)

Nope...it hasn't been released in the Philippines.

I've put up the animated Soundwave review by AleX below:

Jazz is awesome. One of the better looking Animated figs for sure.

WANT!.
That is #2.

After Blitzwing.

Sucks that this won't be out in the States until, what, September?
I might just get one off eBay...

Yes! Nunchucks!

I wasn't planning on getting one of these, but I am now.

Double post. The board is acting wacky for me tonight.

cant wait to get mine for both reviewed

I'm digging Jazz the most of all TFA. Too bad he doesn't get more air time on the show. Here's to hoping there's a Jazz/Prowl ninja-bot type flash back in season 3. On that note it's seems so wierd to me to even have called Season 2 a different season than Season 1, there isn't even a break in the shows, which I'm pretty happy about.

Oh thanks for the review BTW I enjoyed seeing Jazz in all his Jazziness!

WoW! ang ganda ganda!!!

(heading to goldcrest to buy encore jazz and start an 'all that jazz' collection)

cant wait for animated jazz!

sobrang solid!

this makes me even more pleased I bought him!!! IT LOOKS AWESOME!!! thanks for the review

Can we get a comparison pic with some classics? I'm trying to determine how well Jazz could blend in, if we don't get a classics Jazz...

Hopefully Oil Slick would be in that flash back as well.
Since he's also a ninja-bot that trained with Prowl.

wait wait yeah i just had an accident because it is soooooo freaking awesome! I WANT

This is probably one of the better TF:A toys, even though I won't be buying him. Love the cartoon, but not sold on character designs.

Am I the only one who thinks that his vehicle mode bears a striking resemblance to Speed Racer's Mach 5??

i kinda think the side mirror cones are a tad obtrusive.

WANT!


Animated may challenge Alternators and Classics as the best line to ever released.

Wow. That design is full of love and awesomeness. Must have.

Hm he looks awesome; I know my little brother was looking forward to the Jazz animated toy.

It looks just as good as Movie Jazz which is wickedly awesome! BTW has anyone else noticed that, without the crazy flares on the back of his car-mode, it kind of resembles an old-school Porsche 911 Turbo?... possibly a racing variant? =D

wow! you're right dude, about the 'porche'ness...

Jazz looks fantastic!!! Now they need to make him in the Universe line!!!!
