Chris Ryall has posted up a new cover featuring Jazz over at his blog RyallTime. Ryall says the cover was drawn by EJ Su, and will be released in March of 2009…but doesn’t mention what it’s the cover for. Click on the image on the left to see it biggie sized, and click on the Discuss button to talk about it in our forums.

Jazz's alt. mode has been updated, the headlights/bonnet etc. are the current Porsche 911 (997).

Razorclaw has not been shown as a lion yet in IDW's universe. A pre-Earth Razorclaw doesn't mean Jazz has to be pre-Earth too.
Xhairs
man that looks very cool. now i wonder what it is for?
Staxeon
That makes the question the timeframe of the scene, as Jazz is clearly not in cybertronian form.

Then can that possibly be razorclaws white silhouette underneath?
Lucs
Yeah that silhouette definitely looks like Jazz to me. Good call
Habba
I think this is from All hail Megatron #5.
This is the cover: http://www.smactalk.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/ahm05_alt_cover_lores.jpg
I think this is Jazz and Razorclaw. The background is same.

i have to agree that this is probably AHM related!

Hope this is Spotlight Jazz.
Infosaur
We could be all wrong about this,,, Spotlight Razorclaw?
BB Shockwave
I hope not… Hope this is a Spotlight or a new series AFTER AHM. Besides, Shane's cast is composed of only Season 1 character and 1986 movie guys (read: cartoon carbon-copy), it's unlikely he'd use Razorclaw or the Preds. Even if he would, they'd all be already in G1 animal form without any feasible explanation, like pretty much everyone in the series.
Razorclaw was well-written in Stormbringer as the ruthless, but honorable Decepticon leader – from what Shockwave tells about him in his Spotlight, I gather the Predacons are somewhat of an elite special team of Megatron, kind of like the equivalent of the Wreckers.
And of course, we can never have enough Jazz. I liked his portrayal in Furman's comics, both Marvel and IDW, he never grew on me in the cartoon.

I like the cover, I'd love to see Jazz in the Universe line and I would like to know who the bot is that Jazz is fighting with?

Changed 'em to links now.
Bass X0
Yeah… I realised I was wrong after I logged off yesterday and checked through the Spotlight TPBs. I don't personally count shadowy figures though but he got me on the Sixshot cover and Galvatron cover.

Exactly,nice!

Can you upload them onto your own webspace instead of directly linking off the TF Wiki? Costing us bandwidth, dude!

Pre Earth Razorclaw

Damn that cover is sweet. I'm thinking AHM myself but I could see it going either way. Seems like they might announce the Jazz Spotlight if they were doing one but not sure, I know they've done teasers before announcing before.
I'm almost afraid of a Spotlight of my favorite character cuz what if it falls short of my expectations? But from what little I've seen of him I'm fairly certain they would pull it off pretty well
~That was some crazy pwnage by Rhinox555 though, sorry Bass X0~
Infosaur
I doubt it's AHM because they haven't been using the "contemporary" models for the Decepticons (ie: No Cybertron Mode Razorclaw)
Maybe the next chapter in the -tion series?
